The Model of Prophet Yunus
Sometimes the domination of false deities becomes so universal that even the worshippers of the real God are overwhelmed by it and make compromises. Worldly considerations and material interests are so closely linked with these false deities that, to all appearances, it seems that there is no other way to have a respectable life than to effect a compromise with the structure formed under them. But this procedure amounts to such an adulteration of one’s own faith that it makes one’s sincerity doubtful in the eyes of God. Zachariah, John, Jesus, and Elijah—every one of them was righteous— Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot—We favoured each one of them above other people, and also some of their forefathers, their offspring, and their brothers: We chose them and guided them to a straight path. This is the guidance of God : He gives that guidance to whichever of His servants He pleases. If they had associated other deities with Him, surely all they did would have been of no avail. (6: 85 – 88)
