More on Falsification Test
In reference to the falsification tests mentioned earlier, it is
interesting to note that they, too, relate to both the past and the present. Some of them were used as illustrations of
Allah's omnipotence and knowledge, while others
continue to stand as challenges to the present day. An
example of the former is the statement made in the Quran about Abu Lahab. It clearly illustrates that Allah, the
Knower of the Unseen, knew that Abu Lahab would never
change his ways and accept Islam. Thus Allah dictated
that he would be condemned to the Hellfire forever. Such
a chapter was both an illustration of Allah's divine
wisdom and a warning to those who were like Abu
Lahab.
