Most of the people know not the Truth

Chapter “The Prophets” – (Suratul – ‘Ambiyaaa’ – 21)

 ‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

  أَمِٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ هَٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِىَ وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِى بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَايَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ فَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ 24

 

24.  Or have they chosen other gods beside Him? Say: Bring your proof (of their godhead). This is the Reminder of those with me and those before me, but most of them know not the Truth and so they are averse.

24.  ‘Amittakhazuu  min-  duuniHii  ‘aalihah. Qul  haatuu  bur-haanakum.  Haazaa  Zikru  mam-ma-‘iya  wa  Zikru  man  qablii.  Bal  ‘aksaruhum  laa  ya’-lamuunal-Haqqa  fahum-mu’-rizuun.

 

    Commentary

 

It was commanded previously that there is none equal of Allaah Almighty. Therefore, only He is Alone Worshipped.

 

In this verse it is commanded: Some people have ascribed little gods along with Him, but not equal of Him, because they consider that He cannot manage without helpers. Therefore He is needy of supporters. It is demanded from them: Produce any such strong proof in this matter if you have! Ideas and conjectures including blind imitation of forefathers are not useful. It is the decision of the wise people of the present times and the ancient that only Allaah Almighty is in Whose possession is the Throne of the Emperor of the Worlds and Who is Owner of It. Whatsoever happens, that happens by only His Command and Power.

 

Neither He needs advice from any other for Commandment and nor He is necessitous of any other’s help in any matter. The people conceive that Allaah Almighty, Who is The Supreme in Power and The Omnipotent, is just like the kings of the world. It is their plain error. What is competition among the kings of the world and The Omnipotent? They have been leading into error by reason of it that they do not try to seek the Truth and the Right. So their sense does not reach the fundamental reality. And they turn away from the Commandments of Holy Qur’an and other Heavenly Scriptures. And they have been entangled in own conjectures.

Division of the Universe

Chapter “The Prophets” – (Suratul – ‘Ambiyaaa’ – 21)

 ‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُلَفَسَدَتَا فَسُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 22

  لَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَٔلُونَ 23

 

22.  If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. So Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him).   23.  He will not be questioned as to that which He doeth, but they will be questioned.

22.  Law  kaana  fiihimaaa  ‘aali-hatun  ‘illAllaahu  la-fasadataa.  Fa-SubhaanAllaahi  Rabbil-‘Arshi  ‘ammaa  yasifuun.   23.  Laa  yus-‘alu  ‘ammaa  yaf-‘alu  wa  hum  yus-‘aluun.

 

    Commentary

 

According to mankind’s point of view, the entire universe has been divided in two parts. One is over the head i.e. the sky, and the other is below the feet i.e. the earth. The creatures, whichever are present among the both, none of them can disobey the Commandment of Allaah Almighty. Who can then be Worshipped save Him? A strongest Proof of the Unity and Oneness of Allaah Almighty has been described in this verse. It is commanded: Only He can be a Worshipped Who is not needy of any other in any matter, and nothing may disobey His Order. And there should be none superior to Him who may prevent Him from doing according to His Will. If there were two or more gods (with full such power and authority as of Allaah Almighty) in the heavens and the earth, then certainly their plans had dashed together. And either; the heavens and the earth could not be created; or after creation those could not last. Remaining the heavens and the earth firm equally as we see; is a Clear Proof of this matter that there is only One Who commands them. And there is none equal to Him who may break His Order.

 

After such clear proof, which gods have been chosen by the people, those are not at all able to be Worshipped. They have been entangled in a conjecture that One Alone Worshipped is not sufficient to manage the entire worlds.

 

The fact is that Allaah Almighty possesses the Throne of the Emperor of the entire worlds and He is The Owner of it. And He is Pure and Higher than all such deficiencies and losses which the people impose upon Him. There is none who may enquire from Him, but at the end all human beings will be questioned about their deeds.
