<h2>Among the Behavior of the Idolators was vowing to Things that Allah had provided for Them to their gods</h2>
<p>Allah tells us about some of the heinous deeds of those who used to perform baseless worship of other gods besides Him, such as idols and statues, with no grounds for doing so. They gave their idols a share of that which Allah had provided for them,</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">فَقَالُواْ هَـذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهَـذَا لِشُرَكَآئِنَا فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ فَلاَ يَصِلُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَى شُرَكَآئِهِمْ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ</div>
<p>(They say: "This is for Allah," according to their claim, "and this is for our partners." But the share of their "partners" is not directed to Allah, while the share of Allah is directed to their "partners"! How evil is that with which they judge) (6:136) That is they assigned a share for their idols as well as Allah, but they gave preference to their gods over Him, so Allah swore by His Almighty Self to question them about these lies and fabrications. He will most certainly call them to account for it and give them the unrelenting punishment in the fire of Hell. So He says,</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">تَاللَّهِ لَتُسْـَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ</div>
<p>(By Allah, you shall certainly be questioned about (all) that you used to fabricate.) Then Allah tells us how they used to regard the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, as being female, and that they considered them to be Allah's daughters, and they worshipped them with Him. In all of the above, they made very serious errors. They attributed offspring to Him when He has no offspring, then they assigned Him the kind of offspring they regarded as inferior, namely daughters, which they did not even want for themselves, as He said:</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الأنْثَى - تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَى</div>
<p>(Are the males for you and the females for Him That is indeed an unfair division!) (53:21-22) And Allah says here:</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ الْبَنَـتِ سُبْحَانَهُ</div>
<p>(And they assign daughters unto Allah! Glorified (and Exalted) is He.) meaning, above their claims and fabrications.</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">أَلاَ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ - وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـذِبُونَ - أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ</div>
<p>(But no! It is from their falsehood that they say: "Allah has begotten." They are certainly liars! Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons What is the matter with you How do you decide) (37:151-154)</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">وَلَهُمْ مَّا يَشْتَهُونَ</div>
<p>(And for themselves, what they desire;) meaning they choose the males for themselves, rejecting the daughters that they assign to Allah. Exalted be Allah far above what they say!</p>
<h2>The Idolators' Abhorrence for Daughters</h2>
<div class="arabic uthmani">وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُمْ بِالأنْثَى ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا</div>
<p>(And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark) meaning with distress and grief.</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ</div>
<p>(and he is filled with inner grief!) meaning he is silent because of the intensity of the grief he feels.</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">يَتَوَارَى مِنَ الْقَوْمِ</div>
<p>(He hides himself from the people) meaning he does not want anyone to see him.</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">مِن سُوءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِ أَيُمْسِكُهُ عَلَى هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ فِى التُّرَابِ</div>
<p>(because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor or bury her in the earth) meaning should he keep her, humiliating her, not letting her inherit from him and not taking care of her, preferring his male children over her</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ فِى التُّرَابِ</div>
<p>(or bury her in the earth) meaning bury her alive, as they used to do during the days of ignorance. How could they dislike something so intensely, yet attribute it to Allah</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">أَلاَ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ</div>
<p>(Certainly, evil is their decision.) meaning how evil are the words they say, the way they want to share things out and the things they attribute to Him. As Allah says:</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَـنِ مَثَلاً ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدّاً وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ</div>
<p>(And if one of them is informed of the news of (the birth of a girl) that which he sets forth as a parable to the Most Gracious (Allah), his face becomes dark, and he is filled with grief!) (43:17). Here, Allah says:</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ <strong>بِالآخِرَةِ</strong> مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ</div>
<p>(For those who do not believe in the Hereafter there is an evil description,) meaning, only imperfection is to be attributed to</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">وَلِلَّهِ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلَىٰ</div>
<p>(and for Allah is the highest description) meaning He is absolutely perfect in all ways and this absolute perfection is His Alone.</p>
<div class="arabic uthmani">وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ</div>
<p>(And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.)</p>
