📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Anbiya – Verse 22

"If there had been gods besides Allah in the heavens and earth, then necessarily, they would have gone ruined [32]. Therefore Glory is to Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from the utterances which they fabricate."

✅ [32] Oneness Ensures Divine Order

This verse presents a logical and powerful argument for Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah).
If there were multiple gods, as the polytheists claim, the order of the universe would collapse—just like a kingdom ruins under the rule of negligent or conflicting kings.

If multiple deities existed and all had true power and knowledge, yet functioned in perfect harmony, then two independent wills would be required for a single system—which is impossible in divine governance.
And if they disagreed, it would demand opposing authorities to coexist, which is also logically and theologically impossible.

Hence, the perfect balance in creation proves the presence of One All-Powerful, All-Wise Lord.
The verse concludes by glorifying Allah, declaring Him free from all false claims and fabrications of associating partners with Him.
