Quran Chapter 30: 28 (Pt-21, Stg-5) (L-2520) درس قرآن

Slaves cannot be partners

Chapter “RUUM” - (THE ROMANS) - 30

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

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

  ضَرَبَ لَكُم مَّثَلًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ هَل لَّكُم مِّن مَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُكُم مِّن شُرَكَآءَ فِى مَا رَزَقْنَٰكُمْ فَأَنتُمْ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌ تَخَافُونَهُمْ كَخِيفَتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ 28  

28.  He coineth for you a similitude of yourselves. Have ye, from among those whom your right hands possess, partners in the wealth We have bestowed upon you, equal with you in respect thereof, so that ye fear them as ye fear each other (that ye ascribe unto Us partners out of that which We created)? Thus We display the Revelations for people who have sense.

28.  Zaraba  lakum-masalam-min  ‘anfusikum.  Hal-lakum-mim-maa  malakat  ‘aymaanu-kum-min  shurakaaa-‘a  fii  maa  razaq-Naakum  fa-‘antum  fiihi  sawaaa-‘un  takhaa-fuunahum  ka-khiifati-kum  ‘anfusa-kum.  Kazaalika  Nufas-silul-‘Aayaati  liqaw-miny-ya’-qiluun.

Commentary

In the verses before this, Portents of the Power of Allaah Almighty were explained, by heeding in which, He can be known clearly. When you have known Allaah Almighty then it is necessary to understand that there can be no partner or associate of Him in any matter. When you believed that every living being who exists in the heavens and the earth, is His obedient and slave, then you should meditate upon your own circumstances that, which kind of conduct do you consider correct among Master and Slave mutually yourselves. Although Glory and Attributes of Allaah Almighty are so much higher and better than dignity and attributes of the people that you cannot compare between them, but for causing to understand you, one such form from your personal matters is being described, by which you will come to know clearly the evil of the belief in the plurality of God. Can any slave of you be a partner of equal rights in your such wealth and property which Allaah Almighty has bestowed to you and do you take care of your slaves like your equal partners when you spend or use your wealth? Moreover, while the entire living being creatures are slaves of Allaah Almighty, and there is none equal of Him, then how can anyone of them be the partner of Allaah Almighty? This matter is very clear for them who use their sense properly and We explain Our Revelations like this for them.
