Where people accept narrow ideas and where people conduct themselves unjustly or incorrectly, God remains only a witness to all that and has no part to play in such situations. It is the quality of a bright lamp to shed light. In the light thus shed, many persons may be reading texts which they wish to understand. They may also perform several good deeds. They may also perform thefts in the light shed by the lamp. They may use the light as a help to themselves in doing many bad things. But, there is no great reputation which the lamp itself gains by the many scholars who benefit by reading books in the light shed by the lamp, nor is there any disrespect which the lamp acquires because of the false accounts written by people using the light... Whatever bad or good is done, it is not done by the lamp. In the same manner, God does not gather any praise or blemish by the good or bad done by the individuals in this world. He is only a witness to all that goes on.
