Qarūn Became a Polythiest
Qarūn became a polytheist because he dared to say that all he had come to possess was due to his knowledge of alchemy. Thus, when Qarūn made himself an accomplice of the One and only God in possessing the Divine attributes, Allah (S.w.T.) replied,
“Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him the generations who were mightier in strength than he, and Greater in assemblage?”
(Surah al-QaÅaÅ 28:78)
Later, we see that Qarūn was not able to save himself from destruction even though he claimed to possess strength and power. Thus we must understand that any qualities of the creatures are not of their own but given to them by the Most Powerful Almighty Allah.
