Anam 55-59
55- THIS IS HOW WE CLARIFY THE AYAHS, SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW THE WAY OF THE WICKED.
56- SAY: “I HAVE BEEN FORBIDDEN TO WORSHIP THOSE YOU CLAIM INSTEAD OF ALLAH”, SAY: “I DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR DESIRES, THEN I WOULD HAVE GONE ASTRAY, AND I WOULD NOT BE OF THE RIGHTLY GUIDED THEN”
57- SAY: “I KNOW CLEARLY ALL ABOUT MY LORD WHOM YOU DENIED. I DO NOT HAVE WHAT YOU WANT SOON, BUT ALLAH JUDGES AND RULES, HE TELLS US THE TRUTH AND HE IS THE BEST JUDGE”.
58- SAY: “HAVE I HAD WHAT YOU WANT SOON, THEN THE CASE BETWEEN YOU AND ME WOULD HAVE BEEN SORTED, AND ALLAH KNOWS THE UNJUST BEST”.
59- AND HE (ALLAH) HAS THE KEYS TO ALL HIDDEN THINGS, ONLY HE KNOWS IT, AND KNOWS WHAT IS IN THE LAND AND SEA, AND THERE IS NOT A TREE LEAVE THAT DROPS WHICH HE DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT, OR A GRAIN IN THE DARKNESS OF THE EARTH, AND NEITHER A WET OR DRY THING, BUT IS IN A CLEAR DECISIVE BOOK.
Allah the Highest is clarifying the Ayahs of the Quran for us. The Ayahs of the Quran are not ambiguous for those who want to understand. Yet, wanting to understand properly is not always the case with people, some want to twist and change its meanings to fit their own desires.
Example of that is Allah the Highest saying “YOU WHO BELIEVE, DO NOT APPROACH SALAH WHILE YOU ARE DRUNK, SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW WHAT YOU SAY” (S: 4 A: 43) I read presumably Muslim writers say that on the basis of this Ayah, Allah the Highest did not forbid us drinking intoxicants altogether, but only has forbidden us to pray while we are drunk. This is not because the Ayahs of the Quran are not clear or contradictory to each other, but because other Ayahs prohibiting the intoxicants are not considered or ignored, out of ignorance or willfully. This is because the Ayahs of the Quran should not be considered separately but with other Ayahs. We will then find that the Quran is clear and unambiguous.
Understanding the Quran clearly, shows us the right from the wrong and the righteous from the wicked, all according to Allah’s principles not our principles.
(Ayah 56) We are forbidden to worship other than Allah the Highest. Worship is not just in praying to the worshiped entity, but considering him a god, obeying completely, preferring his low to Allah’s law, considering him/it supreme, and serving them eagerly. Besides idols, some might have an idea, ideology, money or power as their gods. This does not mean that those who love money and like making a great deal of it are disbelievers, but it means that this is might come between them and Allah the Highest and might prevent them from obeying Him at times. In this way, they would have gone astray.
(Ayah 57) Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him and we are commanded to tell that we are forbidden to worship or to be under the control and influence of other than Allah the Highest.
The disbelievers used to mock Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him telling him to bring them Allah’s punishment if he is truthful. However, he was but a man and slave of Allah the Highest, and he had no control over this. It is also important to note that When Allah the Highest sent Gabriel and the angel in charge of the mountains, and they asked Allah’s messenger if he wants the mountains around Makkah to collapse upon, Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “But I hope that Allah will bring forth from them those who worship Allah and worship no partners besides him”. (Muslim)
(Ayah 58) If Allah’s messenger had in his powers to do what those people asked for, then there would not have any argument with them. However the miracles happen only with Allah’s permission. Allah the Highest supports his prophets and messengers with miracles; however, Allah the Highest is the one who performs the miracle, not man.
(Ayah 59) Allah the Highest states that He has the keys to access all the unknown knowledge. Nothing is unknown to Him, big or small, in the Heavens or deep in the Earth, what we reveal and what we hide or just think to ourselves.
It is essentials for Allah the Highest the sustainer to know every thing about what He sustains “ALLAH, THERE IS NO GOD OTHER THAN HIM, THE LIVING AND THE SUSTAINER”
However, mankind is allowed to know only so much of Allah’s knowledge, according to what Allah wills and permits “HE KNOWS WHAT IS BEFORE THEM AND WHAT IS BEHIND THEM, BUT THEY KNOW NONE OF HIS KNOWLEDGE EXCEPT WHAT HE WILLS”
This means that Allah the Highest controls every thing in the Heavens and Earth, have knowledge of them and control over access to this knowledge, of whom and how much will they have access to it. This is how the Lord and Sustainer of the universe is.
