Brainstorming#4- On Zumar Sura
In The Name of ALLAH
Verse 36) Is not ALLAH's Guardianship sufficient for His obedient worshipers?
The background of this verse revelation was that the polytheists were constantly asking the prophet (PBUH) to avoid the anger of their idols as they would make him crazy or badly annoyed. Therefore, this verse was ascended to the prophet (PBUH) that ALLAH protect His obedient worshipers esp. the prophet and in the next verse the Holy Book says, " And whomsoever ALLAH guides no one can mislead him". That is, if a sincere believer deserves a Divine guiding and aiding, ALLAH ward off any devil temptations from him , only if the believer is sincerely trying to obtain ALLAH's satisfaction by his good_doings.
Verse 38) "...ALLAH's Guardianship is sufficient for me against all harms and plots; in Him all trusting put their trust". Besides, " Say ( O messenger!) : O, you ignorant people! Do you order me to worship others instead of ALLAH ?"
With the respect to the mentioned verses, it is proved that worshiping idols and being polytheist are baseless attempts, because ALLAH as Creator and Nurturer is not only created the whole worlds and creatures, but He solve the problems of His worshipers. He has direct impacts on His worshipers benefits and loses, while the pagans' idols and their partners could not intercede for them at all. Therefore, if God's will is to bless His obedience, no one could avoid it. Only and Only trust in God and be hopeful and fearful of Him.
Verse 44) Say ( O, messenger!): To ALLAH belongs the permission of all intercessions since to him belongs the Dominion of the heavens and the earth and then to Him you all shall be brought back."
To sum up, not only pagans could not make any harm to the prophet (PBUH) and sincere believers, but, on the Judgement Day, when they see the Truth, they become regretful of mocking at ALLAH's Revelations ; they wish they had an opportunity to go back to the world to compensate for their ignorance and evil doings.
Ayat59) It will be stated to him: " O,man! My Messages reached you but you denied them and became one of the disbelievers."
Thanksgiving and adoration of the worshipers is"
only due to ALLAH the Creator of the worlds"
