24 Preface وَقَد أَضَلّوا كَثيرًا ۖ وَلا تَزِدِ الظّالِمينَ إِلّا ضَلالًاYusuf Ali“They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong- doers but in straying (from their mark).”1Such Pagan superstitions and cults do not add to human knowledge or human well-being. They only increase error and wrongdoing. For example, how much lewdness resulted from the Greek and Roman Saturnalia! And how much lewdness results from ribald Holy songs! This is the natural result, and Noah in his bitterness of spirit prays that God’s grace may be cut off from men who hug them to their hearts. They mislead others: let them miss their own mark!
