The verse addresses those foolish persons who overlook and ignore everything around us that points to God, and they think that something else may be equal to HIM! They tread the way of their fancies and fetishes, and their heart and love is given to their false gods; while unlike them the heart of the righteous are wholly devoted, and absorbed in the love of God. the verse begins with: ``And there are some among men who take to themselves compeers apart from Allah, and love them as Allah is loved! But those who believe, love Allah more ardently.'' The love of the righteous is rooted by the spring of knowledge wisdom, and gnostics; while that of the unrighteous, springs out of the, ignorances, superstitions, and fancies, and this is why the love of the unbeliever is not durable. So says the verse: ``O, if the oppressors could see the consequences of their deeds, they would see the terrible penalty that awaits them, and that all power is in Allah's hands, and not in that of any one else.
