سورة An-Nahl · سُوْرَةُ النَّحْلِ · جزء 14
Q 16:73
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
الترجمات
And they worship besides Allah that which does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable.Et ils adorent, en dehors d'Allah, ce qui ne peut leur procurer aucune nourriture des cieux et de la terre et qui n'est capable de rien.التفسير
ويعبد هؤلاء المشركون من دون الله أصنامًا، لا يملكون أن يرزقوهم أي رزق من السماوات ولا من الأرض، ولا يَتَأتَّى منهم أن يملكوا ذلك؛ لكونهم جمادات لا حياة لها ولا علم.
اقرأ ابن كثير (ابن كثير (مختصر، بالإنجليزية))
And they worship others besides Allah such as do not have power to grant them any provision from the heavens or the earth nor the ability to do so (73)So do not give examples on behalf of Allah. Truly, Allah knows and you know not (74)
Denouncing the Worship of anything besides Allah
Allah tells us about the Mushrikin who worship others besides Him, even though He alone is the bountiful Provider, the Creator and Sustainer, without partners or associates, but they still worship idols and make rivals for Him. He says:
مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًا مِّنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا
(such as do not have power to grant them any provision from the heavens or the earth) meaning, nobody can cause rain to fall, or make plants and trees grow. They cannot do these things for themselves, even if they wanted to. Thus Allah says:
فَلَا تَضْرِبُوا لِلَّهِ الْأَمْثَالَ
(So do not give examples on behalf of Allah.) meaning, do not set up rivals to Him or describe anything as being like Him.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
(Truly, Allah knows and you know not.) meaning, He knows and bears witness that there is no god but Him, but you are ignorant and associate others in worship with Him.
