Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Allah Alone is Deserving of Worship

Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 273, Juz 14

51. God said, ‘Do not take two gods’- for He is the One God––‘ I alone am the One that you should hold in awe.’ 52. Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him: everlasting obedience is His right. Will you heed anyone other than God? 53. Whatever good things you possess come from God, and when hardship afflicts you, it is to Him alone you cry out for help, 54. yet when He has relieved you of your hardship- lo and behold!- some of you attribute partners to your Lord. 55. Let them show ingratitude for the favours We have shown them; ‘Enjoy your brief time- soon you will know.’ 56. They set aside part of the sustenance We give them, for [idols] about which they have no true knowledge. By God! You will be questioned about your false inventions. 57. They assign daughters to God––may He be exalted!––and the [sons] they desire to themselves. 58. When one of them is given news of the birth of a baby girl, his face darkens and he is filled with gloom. 59. In his shame he hides himself away from his people because of the bad news he has been given. Should he keep her and suffer contempt or bury her in the dust? How ill they judge! 60. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter should have the contemptible image, and God should have the highest one: He is the Mighty, the Wise.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
