Worship Allah and fear Him

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)

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.
