Polytheism is entirely forbidden (L–41)

الَّذي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرضَ فِراشًا وَالسَّماءَ بِناءً وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَراتِ رِزقًا لَكُم ۖ فَلا تَجعَلوا لِلَّهِ أَندادًا وَأَنتُم تَعلَمونَ22. |

22. 'Allazi ja-'ala lakumul-'arza relative-shanw- was-samaaa-'a binaa'a. Wa 'anzala minas-samaaa-'i maaa-'an- fa-'akh-raja bihii minas-sama-raati rizqal-lakum. The solution to the taj-'aluu of Allah. |

22. He who made
the earth a habitat for you, and the sky a structure, and sends water down
from the sky, and brings out fruits thereby, as a sustenance for you.
Therefore, do not assign rivals to God while you know. |
Firaa-shan – (floor), the thing, which has been spreading or such solid and plain thing on which we may put our feet and walk. It is not necessary that for being plain, that thing must be a rectangular or in square form. But any round surface may also be used as a floor.
‘Andaadan – (Rivals), partners, co-sharers, confederates etc. this word is plural of nidd, which is used in Arabic language for “opponent and competitor” as well as for “like, analogous, resembling and similar” etc. therefore the meaning of this word may be “opponent and like” both.
Acquaintance about God was described in the previous verse that we must accept Him as our Creator and the Creator of the people before us. In this verse, some more Signs have been narrated. It is stated that the virtue of God as a Creator, works in the earth or mother’s womb and the mankind cannot see it. So other virtues which are obvious; have been explained, so that every individual – whether that is younger or elder; may think concerning it.
Keeping the mankind’s life in existence, producing means for its existence and conducting the human life up to the last stage of improvement gradually, is only in the powers of his Lord (God). Here it is told that He is Lord of the mankind and He is the One Who has collected all sources to keep human beings in existence after their birth. In this connection, following matters come before us for meditation:
1. The earth, on which we live and move hither and thither, is the resting place spread by God.
2. The sky, which has been placed over the heads of mankind by God; is like a canopy and it is the best source of light.
3. For arrangement of food and water for daily use of mankind, He produces fruit of different colours and tastes by showering down the rains from the sky, which the mankind eats, drinks and uses for many other purposes. So it has been proved that the mankind is indigent of his Lord for existence and to remain living.
Therefore, he must perceive “the
Worshipped” to the same Lord. It has also been described in this verse that the
name of that Lord Who has all such virtues, is (One) God. The mankind should never make any partner or co-sharer of God. In this verse, He commanded to
Worship Him only, after causing the mankind to understand and recognizing His
blessings and pities, so that he may worship Him after knowing Him properly.
Without acquaintance, the worshipper cannot acquire Abstinence in his heart.
