2366 Who are "they" in this sentence? They may be the Companions of the Cave, for they put themselves under the
protection of Allah, and disowned all attribution of partners to Him. Or "they" may refer to the people in general who go
wrong and become "Mushriks" i.e., attribute imaginary partners to Allah. (18.26)
2367 His Command: i.e., Allah's sovereignty of the world, or in His Judgment on the Day of Judgment. (18.26)
11:50 - To the `Ad People (We sent) Hud one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people!
worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. (Your other gods) ye do nothing but
invent! 1545
1545 Cf. the story of Hud the Messenger of the 'Ad People, in vii. 65-72. There the argument was how other Peoples
treated thier prophets as the Makkans were treating Al-Mustafa. Here we see another point emphasized: the
insolence of the 'Ad in obstinately adhering to false gods after the true God had been preached to them, Allah's grace
to them, and finally Allah's justice in bringing them to book while the righteous were saved. The locality in which the
'Ad flourished is indicated in n. 1040 to vii. 65. (11.50)
11:54 - "We say nothing but that (perhaps) some of our gods may have seized thee with imbecility."

11:55 - Other gods as partners! So scheme (your worst) against me all of you and give me no
respite. 1550
39:36 - Is not Allah enough for His servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods)
besides him! For such as Allah leaves to stray there can be no guide. 4296
4296 The righteous man will find Allah enough for all the protection he needs, all the rest and peace he craves for, and all
the happiness he can imagine. If Satans wish to frighten him with false gods, he knows that that is mere superstition.
In the case of idols to whom worship is paid, this is easily intelligible. But there are other false gods which men
worship,-wealth, position, power, science, selfish desire, and so on. The idea may occur to them: "this is the right
course, but what will men say?" or "shall I lose my case if I tell the truth?" or "will it ruin my chances if I denounce sin
in high places?" All such false gods will only mislead and leave their victims in the lurch. The worship of them will lose
them the Mercy of Allah, which wants to guide and comfort all who seek Allah. (39.36)
4:116 - Allah forgiveth not (the sin of) joining other gods with Him: but He forgiveth whom He
pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah hath strayed far far away
(from the right). 626
6:14 - Nay! but I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah (in Islam) and be not thou
of the company of those who join gods with Allah." 847
6:23 – There will then be (left) no subterfuge for them but to say: "By Allah Our Lord we were not
those who joined gods with Allah." 851
6:64 - Say: "It is Allah that delivereth you from these and all (other) distresses: and yet ye worship
false gods!"
43:58 - And they say " Are Our gods best or He?"
16:51 - Allah has said: "Take not (for worship) two gods: for He is just One Allah: then fear Me (and
Me alone)." 2077
16:54 - Yet when He removes the distress from you behold! some of you turn to other gods to join
with their Lord
16:56 - By Allah ye shall certainly be called to account for your false inventions. 20802081
27:59 - Say: Praise be to Allah and Peace on His servants whom He has chosen (for his
Message). (Who) is better? Allah or the false gods they associate with Him? 3292
30:31 - Turn ye back in repentance to Him and fear Him: establish regular prayers and be not ye
among those who join gods with Allah, 3543
72:2 - It gives guidance to the Right and we have believed therein: We shall not join (in worship)
any (gods) with our Lord.
