Islam says stop to falsifications
Islam manifests as a return to the fundamental values of monotheistic faith, declaring an irrevocable break with the alterations and deviations that have led many Jews and Christians astray. The Quran, in this context, underscores the importance of exclusively worshipping the Creator and categorically refutes all forms of polytheism, specifically mentioning the worship of the sun and belief in false powers as subterfuges of Satan:
"Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostate to Allah, who created them, if it is Him that you worship." (Quran 41:37)
"I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from [His] way, so they are not guided." (Quran 27:24)
"They wish to refer legislation to false powers, while they were commanded to reject them; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray." (Quran 4:60)
If Islam is criticized today, it is precisely because of its firmness in preserving pure monotheism. Faced with this rigor, the idolatrous system strives to divert minds towards illusions of power and erroneous conceptions, illustrated notably by the belief in heliocentrism. And although believers are exhorted to remain vigilant against the deceits of the impious elite and not succumb to perverted forms of association, many drift away from the truth, often unknowingly.
