Ali bin Abi Talhah and Ibn Abbas said:(La Jarama) means, "Indeed, the one that لَا جَرَمَ‏you call me to of idols and false godsلَيْسَ‏ لَهُ‏ دَعْوَةٌ‏ فِي الد ُّنْيَا وَلَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ‏ ...that does not have a claim in this world or in theHereafter.''Mujahid said, "The idols that do not have anything.''Qatadah said,"This means that idols possess no power either tobenefit or to harm.''As-Suddi said,"They do not respond to those who call uponthem, either in this world or in the Hereafter.''This is like the Ayah:وَمَنْ‏ أَضَل ُّ مِم َّن یَدْعُو مِن دُونِ‏ الل َّهِ‏ مَن لا َّ یَسْتَجِيبُ‏ لَهُ‏ إِلَى یَوْمِ‏الْقِيَمَةِ‏ وَهُمْ‏ عَن دُعَآئِهِمْ‏ غَفِلُونَ‏وَإِذَا حُشِرَ‏ الن َّاسُ‏ آَانُواْ‏ لَهُمْ‏ أَعْدَآءً‏ وَآَانُواْ‏ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ‏ آَفِرِینَ‏And who is more astray than one who calls onbesides Allah, such as will not answer him till theDay of Resurrection, and who are unaware oftheir calls to them And when the people aregathered, they will become their enemies anddeny their worship. (46:5-6)إِن تَدْعُوهُمْ‏ لاَ‏ یَسْمَعُواْ‏ دُعَآءَآُمْ‏ وَلَوْ‏ سَمِعُواْ‏ مَا اسْتَجَابُواْ‏ لَكُمْ‏If you invoke them, they hear not your call; and ifthey were to hear, they could not grant it to you.(35:14)And our return will be to Allah,55......وَأَن َّ مَرَد َّنَا إِلَى الل َّهِ‏means, in the Hereafter, where He will reward orpunish each person according to his deeds....
