Yunus

Allah said:

(And the Day whereon We shall gather them) Allah will gather together all the creatures of earth, human and Jinn, righteous and rebellious. He said in another Ayah:

(and We shall gather them all together so as to leave not one of them behind.) (18:47)

(then We shall say to those who did associate partners: "Stop at your place! You and your partners.'') He then will command the idolaters to stay where they are and not to move from their destined places so they would be separated from the place of the believers. Similarly, Allah said:

((It will be said): "And O you the criminals! Get you apart this Day (from the believers).)(36:59) Allah also said:

(And on the Day when the Hour will be established - that Day shall (all men) be separated (the believers will be separated from the disbelievers).) (30:14) In the same Surah, (Ar-Rum), Allah said:

(On that Day men shall be divided.) (30:43) means, they shall be divided in two. This is what will take place when Allah Almighty will come for Final Judgment. The believers intercede to Allah so the Final Judgment may come and they get rid of that state. The Prophet said,

(On the Day of Resurrection, we will be in a visible place above the )other) people.) Allah tells us here what He is going to command the idolaters and their idols to do on the Day of Resurrection

("Stop at your place! You and your partners.'' Then We shall separate them,) and that they would deny their worship and claim their innocence from them. Similarly, Allah said: `

(Nay, but they will deny their worship of them.) (19:82),

(When those who were followed declare themselves innocent of those who followed (them).) (2:166), and;

(And who is more astray than one who calls on (invokes) besides Allah, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them And when mankind are gathered (on the Day of Resurrection), they (false deities) will become their enemies) (46:5-6). This refers to the partners responding to those who worshipped them, Then Allah said:

(So sufficient is Allah as a witness between us and you.) They say that we did not know or think that you were worshipping us. Allah is a Witness between us and you that we never called upon you to worship us. We never ordered you to worship us; neither did we accept your worship of us. Allah said:

(There! Every person will know (exactly) what he had earned before) This will be the state of accounting on the Day of Resurrection. Every soul shall know all that it had sent forth, both good and evil. Similarly, Allah said:

(The Day when all the secrets will be examined.) (86:9),

(On that Day man will be informed of what he sent forward (of deeds), and what he left behind.) (75:13), and

(...and on the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open. (It will be said to him): "Read your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoner against you this Day.'') (17:13-14) Then Allah said,

(and they will be brought back to Allah, their rightful Mawla.) All affairs and matters will be brought back to Allah, the Judge, the All-Just. He will judge everyone, and then admit the people of Paradise in Paradise and the people of Hell to Hell.

(and will vanish from them) meaning what the idolaters worshipped,

(what they invented) what they worshipped besides Allah that they invented.

(31. Say: "Who provides for you from the sky and the earth Or who owns hearing and sight And who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living And who disposes of the affairs'' They will say: "Allah.'' Say: "Will you not then be afraid (of Allah's punishment)'') (32. Such is Allah, your Lord in truth. So after the truth, what else can there be, save error How then are you turned away) (33. Thus is the Word of your Lord justified against those who rebel (disobey Allah), that they will not believe.)

Thus is the Word of your Lord justified against those who rebel (disobey Allah), that they will not believe.)

Allah argues that the idolaters' recognition of Allah's Oneness in Lordship is an evidence against them, for which they should admit and recognize the Oneness in divinity and worship. So Allah said:

(Say: "Who provides for you from the sky and the earth'') meaning, who is He Who sends down water from the sky and splits the earth with His power and will and allows things to grow from it,

(Is there a god, besides Allah) (27:62) (Who provides;)

(Grains. And grapes and clover plants. And olives and date palms. And gardens dense with many trees. And fruits and herbage.)''(80:27-31)

(They will say: "Allah.'')

("Who is he that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision) (67:21) Allah's statement,

(Or who owns hearing and sight) means that Allah is the One who granted you the power of sight and hearing. If He willed otherwise, He would remove these gifts and deprive you of them. Similarly, Allah said:

(Say it is He Who has created you, and endowed you with hearing and seeing.) (67:23) Allah also said:

(Say: "Tell me, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight.) (6:46) Then Allah said:

(And who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living) by His great power and grace.

(And who disposes of the affairs) In Whose Hand is the dominion of everything Who protects all, while against Whom there is no protector Who is the One who judges with none reversing His judgment Who is the One that is not questioned about what He does while they will be questioned

(Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth begs of Him. Every day He is (engaged) in some affair!) (55:29) The upper and lower kingdoms and what is in them both, including the angels, humans, and Jinn are in desperate need of Him. They are His servants and are under His control.

(They will say: "Allah.'') they say this knowingly and they admit it.

(Say: `Will you not then be afraid (of Allah's punishment)'') meaning, don't you fear Him when you worship others because of your ignorance and false opinions Allah then said:

(Such is Allah, your Lord in truth.) This Lord that you admitted is the One Who does all this, is your Lord and the True Deity that deserves to be worshipped alone.

(So after the truth, what else can there be, save error) any one worshipped other than Him is false, for there is no God but Allah, He Has no partners.

(How then are you turned away) How then can you turn away from His worship to worship others while you know that He is the Lord that has created everything, the One who controls and governs everything Allah then said:

(Thus is the Word of your Lord justified against those who rebel,) These idolaters disbelieved and continued to practice their Shirk, and worship others beside Allah. But they knew that He is the Creator, the Sustainer and the only One of authority and control in this universe, the One Who sent His Messengers to single Him out for all worship. As they disbelieved and were persistent in their Shirk, Allah's Word proved true and was justified that they would be miserable inhabitants of the Fire. Allah said:

(They will say: "Yes,'' but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers!) (39:71)

(34. Say: "Is there of your partners one that originates the creation and then repeats it'' Say: "Allah originates the creation and then He repeats it. Then how are you deluded away (from the truth)'') (35. Say: "Is there of your partners one that guides to the truth'' Say: "It is Allah Who guides to the truth. Is then He Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided Then, what is the matter with you How judge you'') (36. And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Certainly, conjecture can be of no avail against the truth. Surely, Allah is All-Aware of what they do.)

(Say: "Is there of your partners one that originates the creation and then repeats it'') meaning, who is the one who started the creation of these heavens and earth and created all the creatures in them Who can place the planets and the stars in their positions Who can then repeat the process of the creation

(Say: "Allah'') It is He Who does this. He does it by Himself, alone without partners.

("Then how are you deluded away (from the truth)'') How is it that you are so misled from the right path to falsehood

(Say: "Is there of your partners one that guides to the truth'' Say: "It is Allah who guides to the truth...'') You know that your deities are incapable of guiding those who are astray. It is Allah alone Who guides the misled and confused ones and turns the hearts from the wrong path to the right path. It is Allah, none has the right to be worshipped but He.

(Is then He Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided) Will the servant then follow the one who guides to the truth so that he may see after he was blind, or follow one who doesn't guide to anything except towards blindness and muteness Allah said that Ibrahim said:

(O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything) (19:42) And said to his people

(Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve While Allah has created you and what you make!) (37: 95-96) Also, there are many Ayat in this regard. Allah then said:

(Then, what is the matter with you How judge you) What is the matter with you What has happened to your mind How did you make Allah's creatures equal to Him What kind of judgment did you make to turn away from Allah and worship this or that Why did you not worship the Lord -- Glorified be He, the True King, the Judge and the One Who guides to the truth Why didn't you call upon Him alone and turn towards Him Allah then explained that they did not follow their own religion out of evidence and proof. The fact is that they were following mere conjecture and imagination. But conjecture is in no way a substitute for the truth. At the end of this Ayah. He said,

(Allah is All-Aware of what they do.) This is both a threat and a promise of severe punishment. Allah said that He would reward them for their actions with a complete reward.

(37. And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah but it is a confirmation of (the revelation) which was before it, and a full explanation of the Book -- wherein there is no doubt -- from the Lord of all that exists.) (38. Or do they say: "He has forged it'' Say: "Bring then a Surah like unto it, and call upon whomsoever you can besides Allah, if you are truthful!'') (39. Nay, they have belied the knowledge whereof they could not comprehend and what has not yet been fulfilled. Thus those before them did belie. Then see what was the end of the wrongdoers!) (40. And of them there are some who believe therein; and of them there are some who believe not therein, and your Lord is All-Aware of the mischief-makers.)

(Say: "Is there of your partners one that originates the creation and then repeats it'') meaning, who is the one who started the creation of these heavens and earth and created all the creatures in them Who can place the planets and the stars in their positions Who can then repeat the process of the creation

(Say: "Is there of your partners one that guides to the truth'' Say: "It is Allah who guides to the truth...'') You know that your deities are incapable of guiding those who are astray. It is Allah alone Who guides the misled and confused ones and turns the hearts from the wrong path to the right path. It is Allah, none has the right to be worshipped but He.

(Is then He Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided) Will the servant then follow the one who guides to the truth so that he may see after he was blind, or follow one who doesn't guide to anything except towards blindness and muteness Allah said that Ibrahim said:

(O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything) (19:42) And said to his people

(Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve While Allah has created you and what you make!) (37: 95-96) Also, there are many Ayat in this regard. Allah then said:

(Then, what is the matter with you How judge you) What is the matter with you What has happened to your mind How did you make Allah's creatures equal to Him What kind of judgment did you make to turn away from Allah and worship this or that Why did you not worship the Lord -- Glorified be He, the True King, the Judge and the One Who guides to the truth Why didn't you call upon Him alone and turn towards Him Allah then explained that they did not follow their own religion out of evidence and proof. The fact is that they were following mere conjecture and imagination. But conjecture is in no way a substitute for the truth. At the end of this Ayah. He said,

(Allah is All-Aware of what they do.) This is both a threat and a promise of severe punishment. Allah said that He would reward them for their actions with a complete reward.

(37. And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah but it is a confirmation of (the revelation) which was before it, and a full explanation of the Book -- wherein there is no doubt -- from the Lord of all that exists.) (38. Or do they say: "He has forged it'' Say: "Bring then a Surah like unto it, and call upon whomsoever you can besides Allah, if you are truthful!'') (39. Nay, they have belied the knowledge whereof they could not comprehend and what has not yet been fulfilled. Thus those before them did belie. Then see what was the end of the wrongdoers!) (40. And of them there are some who believe therein; and of them there are some who believe not therein, and your Lord is All-Aware of the mischief-makers.)
