Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him? Al-Furqan 25:43 ⧉
Tafsir:
According to a tradition the Prophet is reported to have said, ‘Among all the deities besides God being worshipped under the sky, the most serious before God is that desire which is followed.’ It is a fact that the greatest object of worship is the ignoble desire of man; Many deities have been devised simply to justify the religion of desire-worship.
