62 Preface ذٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُم خالِقُ كُلِّ شَيءٍ لا إِلٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنّىٰ تُؤفَكونَYusuf AliSuch is God, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then how ye are deluded1 away from the Truth! If we worship false gods, i.e., go after vanities, what is it that deludes us and leads us astray? What could it be but our rank ingratitude and failure to use the understanding which God has given us?
