Tafsir

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

Al-Qasas 28:88

Word by word

وَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۘ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُۥ ۚ لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

And do not invoke with Allāh another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned.

ولا تعبد مع الله معبودًا آخر; فلا معبود بحق إلا الله، كل شيء هالك وفانٍ إلا وجهه، له الحكم، وإليه ترجعون من بعد موتكم للحساب والجزاء. وفي هذه الآية إثبات صفة الوجه لله تعالى كما يليق بكماله وعظمة جلاله.
