PLAGIARISM AND THE END OF HUMAN HISTORY

No just estimate have they made of God, as is due to Him. But on the Day of Resurrection the whole Earth will lie in His grasp, while heaven will be folded up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! Exalted is He above all that they associate with Him. (39: 67) The commentators have interpreted the above verse in the context of Polytheism. "No just estimates have they made of God" refers to shirk (associating others with God), an act of attributing to human beings what was to be attributed to God. This phenomenon is referred to as ‘humanism’ (transfer of credit from God to man), an extreme case of plagiarism. Expulsion of Man from the Earth This scientific plagiarism in the garb of development of civilization has been propagated across the world. No individual has challenged this or claimed that all modern developments have been possible because of the divine laws in nature. This truth has to be openly acknowledged. The matter of denial of God has reached its limit. The time has come when the Lord will remove mankind from this Earth and establish a new world order. This fate of the world had been predicted. God had announced symbolically that the responsibility for the earth given to man would be terminated and a new system would be enforced. Man seems to believe the world is his and shall live here forever. The Quranic verse quoted above unequivocally states that man has under-estimated the Creator and that he will be held accountable for this. This is explained in another verse of the Quran: Do you imagine that We created you without any purpose and that you would not be brought back to Us? (23: 115) The phrase ‘brought back’ refers to accountability. The entire human civilization is guilty of not acknowledging God despite availing divine blessings. Such ingratitude will not be tolerated forever and the day of reckoning will come. Those who misused their freedom and failed to acknowledge God’s beneficence would be called to account before their Lord.
