    📖 Commentary of Surah Az-Zukhruf – Verse 87

    "If you ask them who created them, they will surely say: 'Allah' [151]. Then, how are they deluded? [152]"

    ✅ [151] Acknowledgement of Allah by the Polytheists

    Those giving this response are the polytheists of Arabia, not the atheists, since atheists deny Allah's existence entirely. These polytheists acknowledged that Allah is the Creator, yet they were still deemed disbelievers because they rejected the Holy Prophet ﷺ. From this we learn that belief in Allah’s existence and attributes alone is not sufficient for faith. True Imaan demands belief in the Prophethood as well. Even Shaitaan acknowledges Allah's existence but is still an infidel due to his rejection of the command tied to Prophethood.

    ✅ [152] Misguided Despite Acceptance

    Although they acknowledge Allah as their Creator, they still deny His Oneness and reject the Holy Prophet ﷺ, which exposes their delusion. This verse illustrates the contradiction in their belief—they affirm the Creator, yet persist in polytheism and denial of truth.

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Zukhruf verse 87 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Zukhruf ayat 81 which provides the complete commentary from verse 81 through 89.

    (43:87) If you were to ask them: “Who created them?” they will surely say: “Allah.”[69] Whence are they, then, being led astray?

    Ala-Maududi

    (43:87) If you were to ask them: “Who created them?” they will surely say: “Allah.”[69] Whence are they, then, being led astray?

    69. This verse has two meanings:

    (1) If you ask them who has created them, they will say: Allah.

    (2) If you ask them who is the Creator of their gods, they will say: Allah.

    (87) And if you asked them[1454] who created them, they would surely say, "Allāh." So how are they deluded?

    [1454]- Those who associate others with Allāh.
