36:75 - They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-
Seat) as a troop (to be condemned). 4021
4021 There is some difference of opinion among Commentators as to the exact meaning to be attached to this clause. As I
understand it, the meaning seems to be this. Man is apt to forget or turn away from the true God, the source of all the
good which he enjoys, and to go after imaginary powers in the shape of gods, heroes, men, or abstract things like
Science or Nature or Philosophy, or superstitious things like Magic, or Good-Fortune or Ill-Fortune, or embodiments of
his own selfish desires. He thinks that they might help him in this Life or in the Hereafter (if he believes in a Hereafter).
But they cannot help him: on the contrary all things that are false will be brought up and condemned before Allah's
Judgment-seat, and the worshippers of the Falsehoods will also be treated as a troop favouring the Falsehoods and
therefore worthy of condemnation. The Falsehoods, therefore, instead of helping them, will contribute to their
condemnation. (36.75)
39:3 - Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than
Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah
will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and
ungrateful. 424342444245
4243 In the many Signs in Creation as described below, there yet is a clear indication of the unity of Plan, pointing to the
Unity of the Creator. Worship or service is due to none but Him. And He wants exclusive and sincere devotion. (39.3)
4244 Worshippers of Idols or of deities other than Allah, e.g., saints or perhaps Wealth and Power, Science or Selfish
Desire, may pretend that these are symbols that may get them nearer to their self-development, nearer to the goal of
their life, nearer to Allah, but they are altogether on the wrong track. (39.3)
4245 This departure of theirs from true worship, this divergence from the right way, produces endless disputations and
sects. Allah will judge between them. But if they are determined to go after falsehoods and forget the gratitude and
service which they owe to Allah, and Allah alone, they are putting themselves on a Path where they will get no
guidance. They are cutting themselves off from revealed Truth. (39.3)
39:43 - What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no
power whatever and no intelligence?" 4310
4310 Let alone worship, men should not rely upon any power or person other than Allah to help them out or intercede for
them. When it is idols, they are poor lifeless things which have obviously neither power nor intelligence. But even
prophets or saints or heroes have no power to intercede except as Allah wills and permits. See next note. (39.43)
46:5 - And who is more astray than one who invokes besides Allah such as will not answer him to
the Day of Judgement and who (in fact) are unconscious of their call (to them)? 4779
4779 As there is no argument at all in favour of your sham worship, what sense is there in it? Either your false gods are
senseless stocks and stones which will never answer you to the end of Time, being themselves devoid of
understanding, or they are real objects which will disown you at the last. If you worshipped Self, your own misused
faculties will witness against you at the last (xli. 20-23). If you worshipped good men or prophets, like Jesus, they will
disown you (v. 119). Similarly, if you worshipped angels, they will disown you (xxxiv. 40-41). (46.5)
62:6 - Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! if ye think that ye are friends to Allah to the exclusion of
(other) men then express your desire for Death if ye are truthful!" 54585459
5458 Of Jewry is a very different thing from following the Law and Will of Allah. An arrogant claim to be a chosen people, to
be the exclusive possessors of divine teaching, to be exempt from any punishment for breachcs of the divine law, (cf.
ii. 88), is presumptuous blasphemy. It may be Judaism, but it is not in the spirit of Moses. (62.6)
5459 Cf. ii. 94-96. If they claimed to be special friends of Allah, why do they not eagerly desire death, which would bring
them nearer to Allah? But of all people they are the most tenacious of this life and the good things of this life! And they
know that their grasping selfish lives have run up a score of sin against them, which will meet its recompense. (62.6)
74:38 - Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds. 5802
5802 Cf. lii. 21. Man cannot shift his responsibility to vicarious saviours or saints. His redemption depends upon the grace of
Allah, for which he should constantly and whole-heartedly strive by means of right conduct. If he does so he will be
redeemed and he will join the Companions of the Right Hand. (74.38)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 6.238 Narrated by
Abdullah
Regarding the explanation of the Verse: "Those whom they call upon (worship) (like Jesus the Son of Mary, angels etc.)
desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah) as to which of them should be the nearer and they hope for His
Mercy and fear His torment." (17.57) They themselves (e.g. Angels, saints, Apostles, Jesus, etc.,) worshipped Allah. Those
Jinns who were worshipped by some Arabs became Muslims (embraced Islam), but those human beings stuck to their (old)
religion. Al-Amash said extra: 'Say, (O Muhammad): Call unto those besides Him whom you assume (to be gods).' " (17.56)
