Transliteration:( Ani'-budul laaha watta qoohu wa atee'oon )
4. Worship is meant accepting faith i.e. sincere worship; otherwise, no worship is incumbent on the infidel. Piety is meant sincere fear of Allah Almighty while obedience denotes an outward form of worship. Hence, this verse includes faith and spirituality.
The tafsir of Surah Nuh verse 3 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nuh ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 4.
2. The three things which the Prophet Noah presented before his people at the outset of his mission of Prophethood were:
(1) Worship of Allah.
(2) Adoption of piety (taqwa).
(3) Obedience of the Messenger.
Worship of Allah meant that they should give up worship and service of all others and should acknowledge Allah alone as their Deity and should worship and carry out His commands alone. Taqwa (piety) meant that they should refrain from all those works which caused Allah’s anger and displeasure, and should instead adopt such attitude in their lives as the God fearing people should adopt. As for “obey meâ€, it meant that they should obey the commands that he gave them as Allah’s Messenger.
