219 This verse is the commentary of all those verses in which calling upon all those who are detached from Allah Almighty has been prohibited. This verse has shown that to call upon someone as a deity is prohibited and not just calling him.

220. This means except Allah Almighty everything is perishable with its personality.Even though when someone's death does not occur like those who have destroyed themselves in the love of Allah Almighty, because for them He grants immortality.

221. The Command of creation is with Allah Almighty alone while that by the angels. Saints and Prophets is through the permission of Allah Almighty, while the absolute orders are only from Allah Almighty although in a metaphorical sense. kings, officials, etc are rulers as well.
