فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ (28)
(55:28) So which of the wonders of your Lord will you twain ' you men and jinn ' then deny? *26
*26) Here, as the context itself shows, the word alaa' has been used in the sense of excellences and perfections. Whoever of the mortal creatures is involved in vanity and self-arrogance and struts about thinking that his false godhead is everlasting, disavows Lord of the world's glory and majesty by his conduct, if not by his tongue. His pride and arrogance by itself is a denial of AIlah Almighty's greatness and glory. Whatever claim he may make to an excellence by his tongue, or arrogate to himself such an excellence, it is indeed a disavowal of the rank and station of the real Possessor of excellences and perfections.
