Surah 17 Al-Israa — Ayah 39

سُورَةُ الإِسۡرَاءِ · Meccan · Taj Mehmood Amroti

39

ذَٰلِكَ مِمَّآ أَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ ۗ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلْقَىٰ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًۭا مَّدْحُورًا

اھي حُڪم انھن مان آھن جيڪي تنھنجي پالڻھار توڏانھن حڪمت مان وحي ڪيا آھن، ۽ الله سان ٻيو ڪوبه معبُود مُقرّر نه ڪر نه ته تون ملامتي (۽) تڙيل ٿي دوزخ ۾ وڌو ويندين.

Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Everything previously mentioned is Revelation and Wisdom

Allah says: `What We have commanded you to do is part of good manners, and what We have forbidden you are evil qualities. We have revealed this to you, O Muhammad, so that you may command the people likewise.'

وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلْقَى فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًا

(And set not up with Allah any other god lest you should be thrown into Hell, blameworthy) meaning, your own self will blame you, as will Allah and His creation.

مَّدْحُورًا

(rejected) means far removed from everything good. Ibn `Abbas and Qatadah said: "(It means) cast out." This is an address to the Ummah via the Messenger , for he is infallible.
