homes with the fine gardens and gold and silversmiths were kept
busy fashioning expensive jewelry and trinkets. Allah had been very

and their forefathers had built ornate temples and worshiped
Waddan, Suwa'an, Yaghutha, Ya'uqa or Nasra and carved idols to

Their tremendous wealth had turned them to be proud and arrogant
so they were under the false impression that their prosperity was due
entirely to their own making and not that of Allah.
