them to the Guidance, they follow you not. Whether ye call them or are silent
it is all the same for you.

answer you, if ye are truthful!

Commentary
Those people who ascribe
plurality to God Almighty, do neither meditate and nor think. They make them
associates with Allah Almighty which have life, as well as, sometimes they
begin to consider the lifeless idols as partners and share-holders of Him too.
Such people are more culpable.
They have been admonished in
this verse. It is commanded: These, which you consider; the inanimate things
and the idols; invented by your own hands; that they are “suppliers of your
wants”, they are as much unable that they cannot hear your voice, although; you
make their eyes, ears and nose etc., but while they have not ability to see and
hear, then what is advantage of their invention? Whether you call them or be
quiet; without any kind of difference, both conditions are the same for you.
After that, a common rule has
been described in which, all things like those having life, lifeless, idols,
pictures and statues etc. have been included. God Almighty commands: Every that
thing to which you will call save Allah Almighty; will be a creature and for
this reason; that will be obedient to its creator. Every kind of creature is
powerless and incapable before God Almighty like you. Moreover, some things are
more helpless than you. Choosing them as own worshiped and having faith that
they can give or snatch anything, is extremely ignorance. Call them and look;
if you are true in considering them proficient. Now; if they have really any
power, they should help you after hearing your call and come immediately for
redress of your grievance, whereas, there is “No reply” from their side.
Once,
the human being had been over taken by misunderstanding as much that he
considered that everything is in the power of idols like trouble, ease, putting
in calamity, relieving and producing foods etc. Ancient nations threatened the
Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) of their times verily that if They
would not give up preaching; then these idols would involve them in any big
difficulty. Even that the idolaters of Makkah threatened
Muhammad, the last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) from the wrath of idols. Moreover, even till today, such
ignorant people exist who fear idols and consider that they give everything.
