74 Preface مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قالوا ضَلّوا عَنّا بَل لَم نَكُن نَدعو مِن قَبلُ شَيئًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ الكافِرينَYusuf Ali“In derogation of God.” They will reply: “They have1 left us in the lurch: Nay, we invoked not, of old, anything (that had real existence).” Thus does God leave the Unbelievers to stray.All falsehood will vanish: Cf. 7:37. The only Reality will be fully manifest even to those to whom Evil was made to seem alluring in the lower life. They will feel in their inmost souls that they had been pursuing mere shadows, things of no real existence. This was the result of their rejecting the Light and the Grace of God: they got entangled in the mazes of error.
