73. And they worship
beside Allah such gods as have no power of giving provision whatsoever for
them from the heavens or the earth, nor they (whom they worship) can do
anything at all.
74. So coin not
similitudes for Allah. Lo! Allah knoweth and ye know not.

Commentary
In these verses, it is being informed about the
enemies of the sense (Idolaters) that they reap full advantages from the Graces
of God Almighty; even then they do not accept Him as their Real Benefactor. They
attribute other things equal to Him which cannot give them anything. Neither
can they cause to rain from the sky so that grains may be produced for eating
and water for drinking, and nor they have any power to cause to grow something
from the earth.
If you take flight from others then you will know
that even then it rains from the sky and the grains grow from the earth (only
God is Who causes to rain from the sky in time and produces grains from the
land), from which it appears that neither those things are able to provide provision
for mankind and nor will they be able ever to do so.
Therefore, you should turn unto Him; leaving all of
them and know His Omnipotence. For this purpose, you seek the similitudes of
the worldly kings. As you say that “Allah Almighty is like a great king and we
cannot reach Him without means of idols and ancestors”, it is ignorance.
Epithets of Allah Almighty are the same which He has described. He knows
everything but you are unaware.
