Surah Furqan 25 v 43-44 Session 12 Make Use of The Invisible Cloak Have you seen him who takes his passions as a God ? The one who worships his desires is hopeless to teach or guide. The love for a thing makes you blind & deaf. There will be people whose base desires are deeply rooted in them like one bitten by a dog affecting every joint in the body. Of all Gods being worshipped except Allah SWT, the worst is passions which are followed, (it's hard to reason with one like this). The Quarysh worshipped Al Uzza a white stone, if they found a better stone they would discard the other and worship the new stone, Surah 45 v23 was revealed, have you seen him who takes as his low desire as his God (they worshipped their desires). The wise controls his desires and works for life after death. The fool follows his desires and hopes for the best in the hereafter.
