To Allah you will be returned

Chapter “’Ankabuut”- (The Spider) – 29

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-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)

 

 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَٱبْتَغُوا۟ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرِّزْقَ وَٱعْبُدُوهُ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ 17

17b.  Lo! Those whom ye serve instead of Allah own no provision for you. So seek your provision from Allah, and serve Him, and give thanks unto Him, (for) unto Him ye will be brought back.

17b.  ‘Innallaziina  ta’-buduuna  min  duuNillaahi  laa  yamlikuuna  lakum  rizqan  fabtaguu  ‘indAllaahir-rizqa  wa’-buduuHu  wash-kuruu  laH.  ‘ilayHi  turja-‘uun.

Commentary

It is commanded: The things which you adore instead of Allaah Almighty, do not possess any particle of your provision. Those could give you something if had something. Those have nothing to give but Allaah Almighty is in Whose treasure is everything. He is Owner of everything and only He gives provision to all animate beings. Put these idols off, worship and praise Allaah Almighty and ask for booms from Him only, remove these false and helpless gods from the centre. You will see that even then, the provision is being given to you. Think! Who gives provision? Listen and believe that He is Allaah Almighty. Ask for provision from Him only, then why do you associate others with Him? Set it apart because it is falsehood. Be grateful to Allaah Almighty and praise Him because He has given and will provide all required things.

 

Hear! A Day is near to come, when all of you will be present in His Court, whether you live anywhere in the world and do what you wish. You will have to be returned to Him. If you disobeyed His Command, how will you face on the Day of Resurrection? What answer will you give when He will ask from you: Why did you worship others instead of Me?

 

17b) Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allah provision and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be returned.”

Serve Allah instead of idols

Serve Allah instead of idols

Chapter “’Ankabuut”- (The Spider) – 29

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 

وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ 16  إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْثَٰنًا وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكًا 17a

16.  And Abraham! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Serve Allah, and keep your duty unto Him, that is better for you if ye did but know.   17a.  Ye serve instead of Allah only idols, and ye only invent a lie.

16.  Wa  ‘Ibraahiima  ‘iz  qaala  liqawmihi’-budUllaaha  wattaquuH.  Zaalikum  khayrul-lakum  ‘in  kuntum  ta’-lamuun.    17a.  ‘Innamaa  ta’-buduuna  min  duuNillaahi  ‘awsaananw-wa  takhluquuna  ‘ifkaa.

Commentary

 

‘Awsaanun – (idols), this word is plural of wasanun, which means “idol, statue”.

 

‘Ifkun – (a lie, a falsehood) that is to say; against the reality, self-invented.

 

It is commanded: After the Messenger Noah (peace be upon him), We appointed Abraham as Messenger (peace be upon him) and sent him towards his folk. He caused to understand his people and said: Worship Allaah Almighty and escape from ill-deeds fearing Him. If you have sense then you should understand that it is better for you. Abraham (peace be upon him) explained before his folk: Of which you have been worshiping day and night instead of your Real Worshiped (Allaah Almighty), those are idols fabricated by your own hands. If you make any form by the clay, that will remain clay only. And if you shape an idol of stone, that will remain a stone only; nothing else.

 

Which faiths you have made about them, those are only your self-invented and based on groundless matters, otherwise if you use your sense, the reality will be disclosed before you.

 

The matter is this that it has been contained in your imagination that your idols and gods provide you everything. But it is fact that those possess nothing from which you may be given something. These are only figures of clay and stone, which have been lying as you placed them.
