Then Allah tells us that the idols which people call on instead of Him cannot
create anything, they are themselves created, as Al-Khalil (Ibrahim) said:
[قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ
مَا تَنْحِتُونَ - وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ]
("Do you worship that which you (yourselves) carve While Allah has created
you and what you make!'') (37:-96).
[أَمْوتٌ غَيْرُ
أَحْيَآءٍ]
((They are) dead, not alive) means, they are inanimate and lifeless, they do
not hear, see, or think.
[وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ
أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ]
(and they know not when they will be resurrected.) meaning, they do not know
when the Hour will come, so how can anyone hope for any benefit or reward from
these idols They should hope for it from the One Who knows all things and is the
Creator of all things.
[إِلَـهُكُمْ إِلهٌ
وَحِدٌ فَالَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاٌّخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٌ وَهُم
مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ - لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا
يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ ]
(22. Your god is one God. But for those who believe not in the Hereafter,
their hearts are in denial, and they are proud.) (23. Certainly, Allah knows
what they conceal and what they reveal. Truly, He does not like the proud.)
