[Kn1537]

VEDAS SAYS “Natasya pratima Asti” . There is no idol for God BUT is never says it is not in the idol!! The same consciousness is in every element of universe. If Zakires goes a little further in Vedas it says “Having created it has entered in the creation” Why does Zakir does not quote these lines. SIMILARLY QURAN may NOT SAY GOD IS OMNIPRESNT BUT IT DOES NOT SAY it NOT PRESENT IN ALL. He said it is on Top but does not say to the lady but does not say it is not on the other sides
