37Or do you have a divine scripture that tells you that you will have whatever you want of Allah’s creation, and that contains secrets no one else could know? Is there perhaps a holy scripture sent down from heaven, an alternative to the Quran, which you read and learn from, and do you read these false and erroneous judgments of yours from it?
