Al-Anbiyaa (The Prophets)

19. “And to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth; and those who are with Him are not proud to worship Him, nor do they get weary.”

20. “They glorify (Him) by night and day; they never intermit.”

21. “Or have they taken gods from the earth who can raise (the dead)?”

In figurative ownerships, the further man becomes near to Allah he fears less and, therefore, he sometimes commits a vice, too. But, in real ownerships, the nearer a man becomes to Allah, he worships Him more.

The words through the former verses were about this fact that the world of existence has a designed progressive aim for human beings.

Now, in view of the fact that there may appear this thought that: how Allah is in need of Faith and worship, then the Qur’an pays to answer this question, when it says:

“And to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth; and those who are with Him are not proud to worship Him, nor do they get weary.” “They glorify (Him) by night and day; they never intermit.”

In this case, how does He need to your obedience and your worship? Thus, His order of Faith, worship, righteous deed, and servitude upon you all are for your own interest and your benefit.

Next to the statement of negation of vanity and aimlessness of the world of existence expressed in former verses, in the following holy verse, the Qur’an refers to the Unity of the Worshipped Who is the Deviser of this World.

It says:

“Or have they taken gods from the earth who can raise (the dead)?”
