[18].Surah Al-Kahf [The Cave]: Ayat 15


 
Ayat 15. "These our people have taken for worship âliha (gods) other than Him (Allah). Why do they not bring for them a clear authority? And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah. 
[Tafseer] "These our people have taken for worship gods other than Him Besides the heathen gods, the cult of the Emperors also became fashionable in the Roman Empire in the first three centuries of the Christian Era.: why do they not bring forward an authority clear (and convincing) for what they do? Who doth more wrong than such as invent a falsehood against Allah. The statue of Diana (Artemis) at Ephesus had been one of the wonders of the ancient world. We may therefore imagine how the heathen cults must have flourished there. 

Hazrat Hasan bin `Ali (May Allah be pleased with them) said: I remember (these words) from The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) : "Give up what is doubtful to you for that which is not doubtful; for truth is peace of mind and falsehood is doubt".
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2518]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 15. "And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah" This Hadith leads us to the conclusion that one must always avoid doubtful things so that he does not do anything unlawful. This message is repeated in another Hadith which says that he who has saved himself from doubts has in fact saved his Faith and honour.
