Contemplation and Reflection on the Verses of Allah

In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty presents examples that demonstrate His greatness and the uniqueness of His attributes in contrast to the incapacity and deficiency in others. Among these examples is Allah's saying (And Allah sets forth an example of two men: one of them dumb, who has no power over anything, and he is a burden to his master; wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, and is on a straight path?) Surah An-Nahl 76. It highlights the stark contrast between a powerless, mute slave who is unable to do anything and burdens his master, bringing no good, and the Great Allah who commands justice and is on a straight path. This parable reflects the difference between false deities that cannot benefit or harm themselves or their worshippers, and the Great Creator, who encourages justice and guides His servants to the right path.
