Commentary
In the earlier verses,
after discussion about Oneness of God, Creator of the Universe and dignity of
the Believers, Allah Almighty told about His Power and Strength, and commanded
that the Infidels and Idolaters ascribe partnership with God Almighty to the
different things due to their foolishness, ignorance and un-foresightedness.
They consider as these things will accede to their wishes, support them at the
times of difficulties, give rewards or prizes to them as compensation of their
worship, and they believe that these are masters of the powers.
Allah Almighty asserts
in this verse, “Would that! The deniers of the Truth and the Idolaters would
have seen the Doom which We shall descend upon them on the Doomsday. After
seeing the doom, they will say at once that all kinds of powers and strength,
Greatness, Divinity and Magnificence, power of choice and influence are only
for Allah Almighty, nobody can speak or boast before Him. Without Him, none can
help or support any other and everything is humble before Him.
On that Day, neither
the wealth/property of anyone will be useful for him, and nor his relatives and
friends will help him. Every individual will try to run away from his intimate
brothers, sisters, mother, father, wife, children, friends and relatives; so
that he would not have to suffer their doom upon himself. On the Day of
Resurrection, the Idolaters will forget their false worshiped and liar
partners, and they will call “for pity’s sake! God help me”.
During the worldly
life, various types of difficulties and tests are sent on the human beings.
Using the sense, every person should deem that this all is from God Almighty
and he should prostrate before Allah Almighty by learning from these
calamities.
In
the Sayings of the Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon
Him) this humility, indigence and helplessness has been told as penitence
and begging mercy, and supplication as worship. The Messenger of God
Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) commanded, “‘Ad-Duaaw-
mukh-khul ‘ibaadah” (Supplication is the Brain of Worship).
