Idolaters’ Belief in a Plurality of God (L-601)

إِن يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ إِنَٰثًا وَإِن يَدْعُونَ إِلَّا شَيْطَٰنًا مَّرِيدًا117. لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُ وَقَالَ لَأَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ نَصِيبًا مَّفْرُوضًا118. وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلَءَامُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ ءَاذَانَ ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ119a. |

117. They invoke in His stead only females. In fact, they invoke none but a rebellious devil. 118. God has cursed him. And he said, “I will take to myself my due share of Your servants.” 119a.
“And I will mislead them, and I will entice them, and I will prompt them to

Maf-ruuzaa – {appointed (portion)}, it is from Farz, which means ‘to fix, to appoint and to establish’. Here, aim from maf-ruuza is ‘appointed, fixed’.
La-‘umanni-yanna – (Surely I will arouse desires, put in hopes), it has been derived from the word manni-yah which means ‘wish, desire and longing’.
La-yu-batti-kunna - (they will cut), this word has been derived from the word batak, which means ‘to cut’.
‘An-‘aamun – (the cattle), it is from na-‘ama, which means ‘a beast’, that is to say; the quadruped (animals), which are brought up for working, like camel, ox, cow and horse etc.
God has been drawing attention of the mankind for observing the wisdom of those people, who, by turning away from Him, seek support of stones, to which they have named like females. It is the last limit of their stupidity that they call such things and supplicate before them. Actually they have been taken in the deception of Satan and in the screen of those things; they don’t call someone else but Satan. The reality of Satan is that he (disobedient) has turned his face from the Commandment of God and He has driven him out from His Royal Court. When God appointed the Devil as “outcast, cursed and rejected”, then Satan said, “Now I shall remain in trying my best to mislead the children of Adam (Peace be upon him) from Your Prescribed Way (the Straight Path), by penetrating into them, to whom I could control. They will pay gifts and oblations of my name; they will cut the ears of quadruped animals like camels, oxen, cows and horses etc. and set them at their liberty”.
