Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Isra 17:42

Word by word

قُل لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَهُۥٓ ءَالِهَةٌ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذًا لَّٱبْتَغَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ سَبِيلًا

Say, [O Muḥammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى قل يا محمد لهؤلاء المشركين الزاعمين أن لله شريكا من خلقه العابدين معه غيره ليقربهم إليه زلفى لو كان الأمر كما تقولون وأن معه آلهة تعبد لتقرب إليه وتشفع لديه لكان أولئك المعبودون يعبدونه ويتقربون إليه ويبتغون إليه الوسيلة والقربة فاعبدوه أنتم وحده كما يعبده من تدعونه من دونه ولا حاجة لكم إلى معبود يكون واسطة بينكم وبينه فإنه لا يحب ذلك ولا يرضاه بل يكرهه ويأباه وقد نهى عن ذلك على ألسنة جميع رسله وأنبيائه
