Al-Isra: page 286

Allah says

ذَٰلِكَ مِمَّآ أَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةِۗ وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلۡقَىٰ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومٗا مَّدۡحُورًا (39)

This is from what your Lord has revealed to you of the wisdom, and do not place another god with God, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and rejected. (39)

God Almighty says: This is what We have made clear to you, O Muhammad, of the beautiful morals that We have commanded you to do with the beautiful ones, and forbade you from the ugly ones (of what your Lord has revealed to you of wisdom). He says: Of the wisdom that We have revealed to you in this book of ours.

A view of the verse

In verse 22, the Lord Almighty said to you - Do not make another god with God. Then he set for you principles and values that he wants you to move by in your life, then he closed these values with this verse

(Do not place another god with God...verse) What is the meaning of this?

It means that the beginning of wisdom is gratitude to God for His monotheism. Before that, your values before God are not worth anything, and after that, every value you possess is counted as an abundant share: so what is the rule that he asked you to live by, then he told you that he informed you about it in secret:

1- Being kind to parents

2- Paying attention to the inner self

3- Spending on relatives and the poor

4- Do not waste money on things that are useless

And others - which will come at the end of the surah as a summary, God willing -

The conclusion

Human development scientists today tell you, if you want to discipline your child, make him a values' sandwich which is to make two sandwiches with the morals you want from him and fill the sandwich with the disadvantages that you do not like, God Almighty loves monotheism from us, so He began with it and concluded with it a set of noble values that He wants us to have, and God is Most High and Most Knowing.

Allah says

أَفَأَصۡفَىٰكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِٱلۡبَنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنَٰثًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوۡلًا عَظِيمٗا (40)

Has your Lord chosen you sons and He took a female from among the angels Indeed, you speak a great word (40)

God Almighty says mention it to those who said they were Arab polytheists

You have assigned to God what you do not approve of for yourselves (Indeed, you speak a great word)

the Jews said

Angels are daughters of God

     A view of the verse

People have certain conditions about loving males and appearing with males. They care about those who give birth to males, welcome the birth of males, and some divorce those who do not give birth to males. So God - the Almighty - described Him - Glory be to Him - He took the angels as females, so he asks God a sarcastic question: Does he choose you as males? When he wants to give birth - may He be exalted above that - he will select daughters for himself, and then he say to them: you speak a great word.

Allah says

وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا فِي هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمۡ إِلَّا نُفُورٗا (41)

And We have interpreted it in this Qur’an so that they may remember and it only increases their repulsion. (41)

God Almighty says in His mention: (And indeed We have given) to these polytheists who slander God (in this Qur’an) lessons, verses, and arguments, and We have presented for them parables therein and We warned them about it and warned them (so that they might remember) He says: So that they might remember those proofs against them, so they might understand the error of what they were standing upon, and consider the lessons, and learn from them.

Allah says

قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ مَعَهُۥٓ ءَالِهَةٞ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذٗا لَّٱبۡتَغَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ سَبِيلٗا (42)

Say: If only there were gods with him Just as they say: When you seek a way to the Throne, (42)

A view of the verse

God Almighty asks a question that moves the mind: If there were other gods with God, they would quarrel over the throne, and even though we do not see the throne of God, but we see the effects of God’s existence, not only in the cosmic verses engineered with precise, carefully crafted, non-genetic engineering, But we see the wrath of nature in the past, and in the later, and we have been warned about that in the Almighty’s saying, (Corruption has appeared on land and sea because of what people’s hands have earned...) The witness is that there cannot be other gods with God without quarreling over who runs the universe, and galaxies, planets, and paths different from the Milky Way, but astronomers did not tell us about any defect in the cosmic system, - Except for the intervention of humans - like a black hole - we have not heard that the sun one day refused to come out to rise, or that the planets did not follow their path and floundered into each other.- Except for the intervention of humans - like a black hole - we have not heard that the sun one day refused to come out to rise, or that the planets did not follow their path and floundered into each other, As Muslims, we do not believe at all in the theory of Mother Earth, and that it is responsible for everything that happens from the atom to the galaxy.

Allah says

سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا (43)

Glory be to Him, and He is great above what they say (43)

This is a clearing of God Almighty’s remembrance of what the polytheists have described, who place other gods with Him and host daughters to Him, What you add to it of these things is not a characteristic of Him, and it should not be a characteristic of Him.

Allah says

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبۡعُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفۡقَهُونَ تَسۡبِيحَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورٗا (44)

The seven heavens and the earth and whoever is in them glorify Him, and there is not a thing that does not glorify His praise, But you do not understand their glorification: Indeed, He is Forbearing, Forgiving. (44)

On the authority of Jaber bin Abdullah, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:

“Shall I not inform you of something that Noah commanded his son to do? Indeed, Noah said to his son, ‘O my sons! I order you to say, “Glory be to God and with His praise,” is the prayer of creation, and the glorification of creation, and by it you provide for creation. God said, “And there is nothing that does not glorify His praise.”

Allah says

وَإِذَا قَرَأۡتَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ جَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ حِجَابٗا مَّسۡتُورٗا (45)

And when you read the Qur’an, We will put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, A hidden veil (45)

God Almighty says: And if you, O Muhammad, recite the Qur’an to these polytheists who do not believe in the resurrection, and do not acknowledge reward and punishment, We have placed a veil between you and them, blocking their hearts from understanding what you recite to them and benefiting from it, as a punishment from Us to them for their disbelief. The veil here: it is the curtain.

     A view of the verse

You may deal with a new person and say, “I don’t like him, and I don’t know why,” and you say that this is a prejudice and step back, and then events soon reveal to you what you did not understand at the moment, In which you said this to yourself, days are enough to explain to us what is the hidden veil between those who carry the Qur’an in their hearts and those who do not carry it.

Allah says

وَجَعَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفۡقَهُوهُ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٗاۚ وَإِذَا ذَكَرۡتَ رَبَّكَ فِي ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَحۡدَهُۥ وَلَّوۡاْ عَلَىٰٓ أَدۡبَٰرِهِمۡ نُفُورٗا (46)

And We placed veils over their hearts so that they might understand it, and in their ears deafness, And when you mention your Lord in the Qur’an alone, they turn away from their backs in repulsion (46)

Out of hatred for what he said so that they would not hear him, just as Noah’s people used to put their fingers in their ears so that they would not hear what he commanded them to ask for forgiveness and repent, the devils, and they escape from reading the Qur’an and remembering God

Allah says

نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَسۡتَمِعُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِذۡ يَسۡتَمِعُونَ إِلَيۡكَ وَإِذۡ هُمۡ نَجۡوَىٰٓ إِذۡ يَقُولُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلٗا مَّسۡحُورًا (47)

We know best what they are listening to they listen to you, and when they are talk negatively with each other, When the wrongdoers said, “You are following none other than a man enchanted.” (47)

We know better, O Muhammad, what those polytheists of your people who do not believe in the afterlife listen to, as they listen to you while you read the Book of God, When the polytheists say, “You only follow a bewitched man.” In what was mentioned, he meant by “negotiations”: those who consulted about the matter of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, in the conference house,   It is like what was said by Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah and those with him in Dar Al-Nadwa.

Allah says

ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلٗا (48)

(48) See how they have set examples for you. They have gone astray and are not able to find a way. (48)

Look, O Muhammad, with the eyes of your heart and consider

How did they represent proverbs to you, and make similar similarities to you, by saying: He is bewitched, and he is a poet, and he is mad? (They preferred) saying: So they intentionally deviated from the path by saying what they said, (They are not able to find a way)  They are not guided to the path of truth due to their straying from it and their distance from it, and because God has failed them from His affliction, so they are not able to get out of the disbelief they are in, if they succeed in believing in Him.

Allah says

وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا وَرُفَٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ خَلۡقٗا جَدِيدٗا (49)

And they said, “When we are bones and dust indeed we will not be resurrected as a new creation (49)

  We were not shattered or broken after our death, and we were wiped out (warfata), meaning dust in our graves.

Their denial of resurrection after death: Indeed, we will be resurrected after our destination in the graves with unbroken bones and broken remains, and we have been worn out and turned into dust, a new creation created as we were before death. We will be restored as we began. So, His Majesty answered them, informing them of His ability to resurrect them after their death, and to create for them as they were before their calamity, a new creation.
