Sourate Al-Kahf · سُوْرَةُ الْكَهْفِ · Juz 15
Q 18:51
۞ مَّآ أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ ٱلْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا
Traductions
Je ne les ai pas pris comme témoins de la création des cieux et de la terre, ni de la création de leurs propres personnes. Et Je n'ai pas pris comme aides ceux qui égarent.I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.Tafsir
Ceux-là que vous prenez pour alliés à Ma place sont des serviteurs comme vous. Je ne les ai pas fait assister à la création des Cieux et de la Terre, d’ailleurs, ils n’existaient pas encore lors de leur création. De même, Je n’ai pas fait assister les uns à la création des autres. Je suis le Seul à créer et à gérer et Je n’ai pas à prendre pour aides des égareurs parmi les humains et les djinns car je me passe d’aide.
Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))
They did not witness the creation of the heavens and the earth nor their own creation, nor did I take those who mislead as 'Adudan (51)
The gods of the Idolators did not witness the Creation of anything, not even Themselves
Allah says: 'These whom you take as helpers instead of Me are creatures just like you. They do not possess anything and did not witness the creation of heaven and earth, because they did not exist at that time.' Allah says, 'I am the One Who independently and exclusively creates and controls all things, and I have no partner, associate or advisor in that.' As Allah says:
قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيهِمَا مِن شِرْكٍ وَمَا لَهُ مِنْهُم مِّن ظَهِيرٍ - وَلَا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ
(Say: "Call upon those you claim besides Allah, they possess not even a speck of dust in the heavens or on the earth, nor have they any share in either, nor is there for Him any assistant among them. Intercession with Him profits not except for him whom He permits.)[34:22-23]
Similarly Allah says here:
وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا
(nor did I take those who mislead as 'Adudan.) Malik said: "Assistants."
