    Surah Az-Zumar Ayat 43 Tafsir (Commentry)

    • Shaheen International

    110. From this we learn that idols, etc are not  intercessors other than from Allah Almighty. While the Prophets and the pious are intercessors from Allah Almighty. To accept intercessors other than these appointed by Allah Almighty, is infidelity. While to accept those from Allah Almighty faith, like the Friends of Allah Almighty and the others friends of those other than Allah Almighty 

     

    111. That the idols have no authority for intercession, or to cause harm or provide benefit to anyone. Then, on what ground you worship them?

     

    Ibn-Kathir

    43. Have they taken as intercessors besides Allah Say: “Even if they have power over nothing whatever and have no intelligence” 44. Say: “To Allah belongs all intercession. His is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you shall be brought back.” 45. And when Allah Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and when those besides Him are mentioned, behold, they rejoice!

    There is no Intercession except with Allah, and how the Idolators are filled with Disgust when Allah

    Allah condemns the idolators for taking intercessors besides Allah, namely the idols and false gods whom they have taken on the basis of their own whims, with no evidence or proof. These idols are not able to do anything; they have no minds with which to think, and they cannot hear or see. They are inanimate and are much worse off than animals. Then Allah says: `Say — O Muhammad — to these people who claim that those whom they have taken as intercessors with Allah, that intercession is of no avail except for the one with whom Allah is pleased and to whom He has granted permission to intercede. The whole matter rests with Him.’

    ﴿مَن ذَا الَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ﴾

    (Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission) (2:255).

    ﴿لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ﴾

    (His is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth.) means, He is the One Who is in control of all that.

    ﴿ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ﴾

    (Then to Him you shall be brought back.) means, `on the Day of Resurrection, then He will judge between you with His justice, and He will reward or punish each person according to his deeds.’ Then Allah condemns the idolators further:

    ﴿وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ﴾

    (And when Allah Alone is mentioned) means, when it is said there is no (true) God except Allah Alone,

    ﴿اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاٌّخِرَةِ﴾

    (the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust) Mujahid said, “Their hearts are filled with disgust means they recoil in horror.” This is like the Ayah:

    ﴿إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴾

    (Truly, when it was said to them: “La ilaha illa Allah,” they puffed themselves up with pride.) (37:35) which means, they were too proud to follow it. Their hearts could not accept anything good, and whoever cannot accept good will accept evil. Allah says:

    ﴿وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ﴾

    (and when those besides Him are mentioned,) meaning, the idols and false gods — this was the view of Mujahid —

    ﴿إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ﴾

    (behold, they rejoice!) means, they feel happy.

    (39:43) Or have they taken others instead of Allah as intercessors?[62] Say: “Will they intercede though they may have no power and though they may not even understand?”

    Ala-Maududi

    (39:43) Or have they taken others instead of Allah as intercessors?[62] Say: “Will they intercede though they may have no power and though they may not even understand?”

    62. That is, in the first place, these people have foolishly presumed that there are some beings who wield great influence with Allah, and whose intercession is never turned down, whereas there is no proof of their being intercessors at all, nor has Allah ever said that they hold such a position with Him, nor did these beings themselves ever claim that they would use their influence with Allah and help them out in every case. Another folly of these people is that they have ignored the real Master and have believed the imaginary beings to be all powerful who deserve to receive all their devotion and dedication.

    (43) Or have they taken other than Allāh as intercessors? Say, "Even though they do not possess [power over] anything, nor do they reason?"
