Why don’t you look at he who argued with Abraham Regarding his God since Allah gave him the Kinghood? When Abraham said, “My God is He who gives life and brings death.” He said, “I give life and bring death.” Abraham said, “Since Allah surely brings up the sun From the east, so you bring it up from the west.” Thus confounded was he who disbelieved. And Allah guides not the wrongdoers.
