Allah tells us of the ignorance of the idolators in taking other gods instead
of Allah, the Creator of all things, the One Who controls the affairs of all
things; whatever He wills happens and whatever He does not will does not happen.
In spite of that, they still worshipped others besides Him, idols who could not
even create the wing of a gnat, but were themselves created. They could neither
do harm nor bring benefit to themselves, so how could they do anything for their
worshippers
[وَلاَ يَمْلِكُونَ
مَوْتاً وَلاَ حَيَـوةً وَلاَ نُشُوراً]
(and possess no power (of causing) death, nor (of giving) life, nor of
raising the dead.) means, they could not do any of that at all; that power
belongs only to Allah, Who is the One Who gives life and death, and is the One
Who will bring all people, the first and the last, back to life on the Day of
Resurrection.
[مَّا خَلْقُكُمْ
وَلاَ بَعْثُكُمْ إِلاَّ كَنَفْسٍ وَحِدَةٍ]
(The creation of you all and the resurrection of you all are only as (the
creation and resurrection of) a single person) (31:28). This is like the Ayat;
[وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ
إِلاَّ وَحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍ بِالْبَصَرِ ]
(And Our commandment is but one as the twinkling of an eye.) (54:50)
[فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ
زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ - فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ]
(But it will be only a single Zajrah. When behold, they find themselves on
the surface of the earth alive after their death.) (79:13-14)
[فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ
زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ]
(It will be a single Zajrah, and behold, they will be staring!) (37:19)
[إِن كَانَتْ إِلاَّ
صَيْحَةً وَحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ ]
(It will be but a single Sayhah, so behold they will all be brought up before
Us!) (36:53). He is Allah besides Whom there is no other God and besides Whom
there is no other Lord. No one should be worshipped except Him because whatever
He wills happens and whatever he does not will does not happen. He has no
offspring nor progenitor, nor equal nor likeness nor rival nor peer. He is the
One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He begets not, nor was
He begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.
[وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ إِفْكٌ افْتَرَاهُ وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ
ءَاخَرُونَ فَقَدْ جَآءُوا ظُلْماً وَزُوراً - وَقَالُواْ أَسَـطِيرُ الاٌّوَّلِينَ
اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِىَ تُمْلَى عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلاً - قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ
الَّذِى يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفُوراً
رَّحِيماً ]
(4. Those who disbelieve say: "This is nothing but a lie that he has
invented, and others have helped him in it.'' In fact, they have produced an
unjust wrong and a lie.) (5. And they say: "Tales of the ancients which he has
written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon. '') (6. Say:
"It has been sent down by Him Who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth.
Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'')
