Yunos 18-19
18- AND THEY WORSHIP INSTEAD OF ALLAH WHAT DOES NOT DO THEM HARM OR GOOD, AND THEY SAY: THEY INTERCEDE FOR US WITH ALLAH. SAY: ARE YOU INFORMING ALLAH OF THINGS HE DOES NOT KNOW IN THE HEAVENS AND EARTH. HE IS ABOVE AND BEYOND THOSE THEY TAKE FOR PARTNERS.
19- BUT PEOPLE WERE ONE NATION, AND THEY DIFFERED AND DISPUTED AMONGST THEMSELVES, AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR A WORD FROM YOUR LORD, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RULED OUT FOR THEM CONCERNING WHAT THEY DIFFERED ABOUT.
Worshipping partners besides Allah the Highest does not necessarily mean worshipping idols, but it can be power, money, an ideology etc. None of the partners can do any person harm or good, for no harm or good comes to us but from Allah the Highest.
Allah the Highest said: “THERE IS NOT AN AFFLICTION ON EARTH OR IN YOURSELVES THAT IS NOT WRITTEN DOWN IN A BOOK BEFORE IT’S CREATION, AND THIS IS EASY FOR ALLAH * SO THAT YOU MAY NOT GRIEVE FOR WHAT YOU MISSED AND NOT BE OVERJOYED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN, FOR ALLAH DOES NOT LIKE THE SHOWY, THE PROUD”. (S:57 A:22,23)
Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, said to his young cousin Abd Allah Ibn Abas: “O boy, let me teach you few words. Keep to Allah’s commands and he will keep you, keep to Allah’s commands and you will find Him with you, and should you ask, ask Allah, and should you ask for help, ask Allah for help, and know that if the whole nation gathered to benefit you with something, they will benefit you only with something Allah ordained for you, and if they gather to harm you with something, they will only harm you with something Allah has ordained upon you, for the pens have been lifted and the papers dried up”. (T:Qyamah; 59 & A:1;293)
The idolaters say that, they worship what they worship besides Allah the Highest because these idols intercede for them with Allah the Almighty, or bring them closer to Him. “WE WORSHIP THEM ONLY TO TAKE US CLOSER TO ALLAH”. (S:39 A:3)
Allah the Highest is higher and above any and everything. Neither will stones or people bring any person closer to His creator. We do not need an intermediary with Allah the Highest, we just need to believe in Him and follow His guidance.
When Allah the Highest created Adam and Eve and put them on Earth, mankind was one nation, worshipping Allah the Highest. Gradually, worshipping idols began to get into the religion, until they became many.
Allah the Highest decreed that our judgement and recompense will take place after our resurrection. This delaying of judgement is a mercy from Allah the Highest, for it gives people time and a chance to believe, repent, do good deeds etc. Allah the Highest gives us every chance to believe, repent and do good deeds.
