42.From the sky or from the higher regions through atmospheric causes, like forming vapour through intense heat, or condensation through intense cold, eventually coming down as rain. Thus, rain falls only from the sky. It should be remembered that the previous verse made mention of creation and invention, but in this verse mention is made of obtaining permanent existence, which is the highest form of blessing.
The tafsir of Surah Baqarah verse 22 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Baqarah ayat 21 which provides the complete commentary from verse 21 through 22.
23. That is, when man recognizes that all those things were done by none but God, then worship, devotion and service must be exclusively for Him. For who besides the Creator can legitimately claim these things from man?
Not to set up others as rivals to Allah means not to make anyone other than God the object of worship, service and obedience that one owes to God alone. Later on we shall see, in some detail, how the Qur’an itself specifies the forms of worship and service which we owe exclusively to God, and wherein associating anyone else amounts to shirk (associating others with God in His divinity). This, the Qur’an seeks to eradicate.
