Surah 40 Ghafir — Ayah 66
۞ قُلْ إِنِّى نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَمَّا جَآءَنِىَ ٱلْبَيِّنَٰتُ مِن رَّبِّى وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
จงกล่าวเถิดมุฮัมมัด แท้จริงฉันถูกห้ามมิให้เคารพภักดีต่อบรรดาที่พวกท่านวิงวอนขออื่นจากอัลลอฮฺ เมื่อหลักฐานทั้งหลายอันชัดแจ้งจากพระเจ้าของฉันได้มีมายังฉันแล้ว และฉันถูกบัญชาให้นอบน้อมต่อพระเจ้าแห่งสากลโลก

Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
The Prohibition of Shirk, the Order for Tawhid, and the Evidence
Allah says, `say, O Muhammad, to these idolators, that Allah forbids them to worship anyone, such as these idols and false gods, except Him.' Allah explains that no one apart from Him is deserving of worship, as He says:
(It is He, Who has created you from dust, then from a Nutfah then from a clot (a piece of coagulated blood), then brings you forth as an infant, then (makes you grow) to reach the age of full strength, and afterwards to be old.) meaning, He is the One Who Alone, with no partner or associate, causes you to pass through these different stages, and this happens in accordance with His command, will and decree.
(though some among you die before) means, before being fully formed and emerging to this world; so his mother miscarries him. And there are some who die in infancy or in their youth, or when they are adults but before they reach old age, as Allah says:
(that We may make (it) clear to you. And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term) (22:5).
(and that you reach an appointed term in order that you may understand. ) Ibn Jurayj said, "In order that you may remember the Resurrection." Then Allah says:
(It is He Who gives life and causes death.) meaning, He is the Only One Who does that, and none is able to do that except He.
(And when He decides upon a thing He says to it only: "Be!" -- and it is.) means, He cannot be opposed or resisted. Whatever He wills definitely comes to pass.
