And they fell into anthropomorphism and attributing spatial limitation to Allah - He is exalted -.

The origin of distortion and its manifestations:

As for the distortion, its story is that the sons of our master Ishmael - upon him be peace - were upon the law of their grandfather - Abraham upon him be peace - until "Amr ibn Luhayy" - may Allah curse him - appeared among them and placed idols for them, legislated their worship,

and the invention of the rituals of the Bahira, the Sa'iba, and the Hami,

and seeking decision by divining arrows and the likes of these rituals and innovations,

and that was approximately three hundred years before the mission of the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him -.

And these ignorant people used to infer things by the traces of their fathers,

and considered them to be a conclusive argument with them.

And as for the states of resurrection, gathering, and dissemination, even though previous prophets addressed explaining it, they did not explain it or their scriptures did not include its explanation with that detail and prolixity which we find in the Noble Quran,

and for that reason the polytheists had little awareness of the details of both,

and deemed their occurrence unlikely.

And despite their acknowledgment of the prophethood of their grandfather our master Abraham - upon him be peace - and the prophethood of our master Ishmael - upon him be peace -
