Allah’s Words: [They were] Moved by Wrong Thoughts About Allah - Thoughts Which Belonged to the Jahiliyyah.

Allah subhanahu wa ta`aala says:

“[They were] Moved by Wrong Thoughts About Allah - Thoughts Which Belonged to the Jahiliyyah: They said: “Is the matter anything to do with us?” Say to them: “Verily, the matter is for Allah.” They hide within themselves what they would never reveal to you: They say: “If the matter had been left with us, none of us would have been killed here.” Say: “Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was written would have gone forth to their deaths.” But [all this was] that Allah might test what is in your hearts and purge what is in your hearts, for Allah knows well the secrets of your hearts.” (3:154)
