Surah Al-Anam Ayat 100 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

220. The polytheists of Arabia would worship the Jinns just as they were worshipping the sun and the moon. They had made idols in their names as their deities. This verse is a refutation of their above practice. From this, we learn that the true God is one who is the creator, not the creation.

221. These foolish people did not understand that the children are the means of perpetuating the progeny, breed, or race. He who is eternal Himself is not in need of any breed or progeny. Observe, if the sun, the moon, and the stars, would remain until Qiyamat and therefore do not require children for the purpose of perpetuation, then how can Allah Almighty who is ever eternal, be the father of children?

 

Ibn-Kathir

100. Yet, they join the Jinns as partners in worship with Allah, though He has created them, and they attribute, falsely without knowledge – sons and daughters to Him. Be He Glorified and Exalted above what that they attribute to Him.


Rebuking the Idolators

This Ayah refutes the idolators who worshipped others besides Allah and associated the Jinns with Him in worship. Glory be to Allah above this Shirk and Kufr. If someone asks, how did the idolators worship the Jinns, although they only were idol worshippers The answer is that in fact, they worshipped the idols by obeying the Jinns who commanded them to do so. Allah said in other Ayat,

﴿إِن يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلاَّ إِنَـثاً وَإِن يَدْعُونَ إِلاَّ شَيْطَـناً مَّرِيداً – لَّعَنَهُ اللَّهُ وَقَالَ لاّتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ نَصِيباً مَّفْرُوضاً – وَلأضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلاّمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ ءَاذَانَ الاٌّنْعَـمِ وَلاّمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ وَمَن يَتَّخِذِ الشَّيْطَـنَ وَلِيّاً مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَاناً مُّبِيناً – يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمْ الشَّيْطَـنُ إِلاَّ غُرُوراً ﴾

(They invoke nothing but female deities besides Him, and they invoke nothing but Shaytan, a persistent rebel! Allah cursed him. And he ﴿Shaytan﴾ said: “I will take an appointed portion of your servants. Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah.” And whoever takes Shaytan as a protector instead of Allah, has surely suffered a manifest loss. He ﴿Shaytan﴾ makes promises to them, and arouses in them false desires; and Shaytan’s promises are nothing but deceptions. ) ﴿4:117-120﴾ and,

﴿أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى﴾

(Will you then take him (Iblis) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me) ï´¿18:50ï´¾ Ibrahim said to his father,

﴿يأَبَتِ لاَ تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطَـنَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَـنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـنِ عَصِيّاً ﴾

(“O my father! Worship not Shaytan. Verily! Shaytan has been a rebel against the Most Beneficent (Allah).”) ﴿19:44﴾ Allah said,

﴿أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يبَنِى ءَادَمَ أَن لاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ الشَّيطَـنَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ – وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِى هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ ﴾

(Did I not ordain for you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaytan. Verily, he is a plain enemy to you. And that you should worship Me. That is a straight path.) ï´¿36:60-61ï´¾ On the Day of Resurrection, the angels will proclaim,

﴿سُبْحَـنَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِن دُونِهِمْ بَلْ كَانُواْ يَعْبُدُونَ الْجِنَّ أَكْـثَرُهُم بِهِم مُّؤْمِنُونَ﴾

(Glorified be You! You are our Protector instead of them. Nay, but they used to worship the Jinn; most of them were believers in them.) ï´¿34:41ï´¾ This is why Allah said here,

﴿وَجَعَلُواْ للَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ الْجِنَّ وَخَلَقَهُمْ﴾

(Yet, they join the Jinns as partners in worship with Allah, though He has created them.) ï´¿6:100ï´¾, Alone without partners. Consequently, how is it that another deity is being worshipped along with Him As Ibrahim said,

﴿قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ – وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴾

(“Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve While Allah has created you and what you make!”) ﴿37:95-96﴾ Allah alone is the Creator without partners. Therefore, He Alone deserves to be worshipped without partners. Allah said next,

﴿وَخَرَقُواْ لَهُ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ﴾

(And they Kharaqu (attribute falsely) without knowledge, sons and daughters to Him.) Allah mentions the misguidance of those who were led astray and claimed a son or offspring for Him, as the Jews did with `Uzayr, the Christians with `Isa and the Arab pagans with the angels whom they claimed were Allah’s daughters. Allah is far holier than what the unjust, polytheist people associate with Him. The word, Kharaqu, means `falsely attributed, invented, claimed and lied’, according to the scholars of the Salaf. Allah’s statement next,

﴿سُبْحَـنَهُ وَتَعَـلَى عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ﴾

(Be He Glorified and Exalted above (all) that they attribute to Him.) means, He is holier than, hallowed, and Exalted above the sons, rivals, equals and partners that these ignorant, misled people attribute to Him.

(6:100) And yet, some people have come to associate the jinn with Allah in His divinity,[67] even though it is He Who created them; and in ignorance they impute to Him sons and daughters.[68] He is Holy and Exalted far above that which they attribute to Him.

67. Because of man’s imaginativeness and superstitious disposition, he has often held other invisible beings to be associated with God in His governance of the universe and in making and marring man’s destiny. For example, the deity of rain, and the deity of vegetation, the god of wealth and the god of health, and so on. Such beliefs are found among all the polytheistic nations of the world.

68. The ignorant Arabs considered angels to be the daughters of God. In the same way, other polytheistic nations wove a network of bloodrelationships with God, producing thereby a whole crop of gods and goddesses descended from the Creator.
