Quran Chapter 4- 48 (Pt-5, Stg-1) (L-551) - درس قرآن

Ascribing  partner to God is inventing an awful sin

Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’  (Women) – Chapter – 4) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَمَن يُشْرِكْبِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱفْتَرَىٰٓ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا 48

48.  Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him and He forgiveth (all) save that to which He will. And whoso ascribeth partners to Allah, he hath indeed invented a tremendous sin.

48. ‘InnAllaaha laa yagfiru  ‘any-yushraka  biHii  wa yagrifu maa duuna zaalika  li-many-yashaaa’.  Wa  many-yushrik  Billaahi  fa-qadif-taraaa  ‘isman  ‘aziimaa.

Commentary

Allah Almighty has informed about the biggest sin – polytheism, generally to the entire mankind i.e. ‘the children of Adam’ (peace be upon him), particularly the children of Israel (peace be upon him), and described about such particular biggest sin, which will never be forgiven in any condition i.e.  ascribing plurality to Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty will award more or less punishment as retribution of all remaining little sins, but He will never forgive the tremendous sin of polytheism.  

Shirk means ascribing the plurality to Allah Almighty. That is to say, determining someone else equal or associate in His Noble Personage, Virtues or Commands, is called plurality to Him. This matter is against the Unity of God Almighty.

If the human beings consider thoughtfully, then they will understand it easily that verily polytheism is the biggest sin. With it, not only the excellences of human life are thrown away, even that his nature and life is also ruined. After meditating in the universe and existing things deeply, the corroborative evidence may be found that surely any Creator of entire these things exists.  

If the humankind reflects himself on his bodily and mental powers, he will perceive that there is any certainly Greatest Existence, Who bestows all these powers and runs their system. Which uncountable difficulties and calamities a mankind has to bear in this world, those remind him that Someone exists, Who sends these disasters and He can solve them too. Such Life is our Glorious Lord Almighty. Believing in Him wholeheartedly is the only source of hearts’ satisfaction and to continue the human life.

The person, whoever disbelieves in the Unity of Allah Almighty, satisfaction and tranquility of his heart slips away. Moreover, he remains entangled in such a whirlpool, from where he cannot obtain any way of deliverance.

Polytheism and idolatry ruins the faith and practice of the human being. Therefore, it has been fixed a very; very great sin. The Jews, who used to ascribe many things as plurality to Allah Almighty, they are being warned, “Don’t have any hope of pardon from the Court of Allah Almighty in this form”.
