Ayat 22. Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth)
gods besides Allah, then verily both would have been ruined. Glorified be Allah,
the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above what they attribute to Him!
Ayat 23.
He cannot be questioned as to what He does, while they will be questioned.
[Tafseer]
If there
were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have
been confusion in both! but glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He)
above what they attribute to Him! After the false gods of the earth
(verse 21), are mentioned the false gods in the heavens and the earth, like
those in the Greek Pantheon (verse 22), who quarrelled and fought and slandered
each other and made their Olympus a perfect bear-garden! He cannot be questioned for His
acts, but they will be questioned (for theirs). Allah is
Self-Subsisting. All His creatures are responsible to Him and dependent on Him.
There is no other being to whom He can be responsible or on whom He can be
dependent.
Hazrat Abu Ayyub
Khalid bin Zaid Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) and said, "Direct me to a deed which will admit me to Jannah and
take me away from the Fire". The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Worship Allah and associate no partner with Him,
perform As-Salat, pay Zakat, and maintain the ties of
kinship".
[Al-Bukhari Hadith #
1396]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya' Ayat 22."the Lord of the
Throne, (High is He) above what they attribute to Him!" This Hadith indicates the actions which constitute the
means to attain Jannah and salvation from Hell. Thus, it makes evident that
Jannah cannot be achieved by wishful thinking. One cannot get it without Faith
and good deeds. In the absence of these two factors, intercession of any person
will be of no avail.
