Ayat 24. Or have they taken for worship (other) âliha
(gods) besides Him? Say (O Muhammad 
[SAWW](PBUH): "Bring your proof:" This (the Qur'an) is the Reminder for those
with me and the Reminder for those before me. But most of them know not the
Truth, so they are averse.
Ayat 25.
And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad
[SAWW](PBUH) but We inspired him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has
the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none
else)."
[Tafseer]
Or have they taken for worship (other) gods besides him?
Say, "Bring your convincing proof: this is the Message of those with me and the
Message of those before me." But most of them know not the Truth, and so turn
away, where two kinds of false worship are
noted. Now we are warned against a third danger, the worship of false gods of
any sort. Pagan man is prolific of creating abstract images for worship,
including Self or abstract Intelligence or Power. In next verse 26 mentioned
a fourth kind of false worship, which imagines that Allah begets sons or
daughters. This verse should be read with the next. All reason revolts
against the idea of conflicting gods, and points to Unity in Creation and Unity
in Godhead. This is not only the Message of Islam ("those with me") but the
message of all prophets who came before the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)("those
before me"), and the line of prophets was closed with him. The Message given to
every prophet in all ages was that of Unity as the fundamental basis of Order
and Design in the world, material, moral, and spiritual. Not a messenger did We send before thee
without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I;
therefore worship and serve
Me.
Hazrat
Abdullah bin Masud
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, When it was evening, the Prophet (PBUH) used to
supplicate: "Amsaina wa amsal-mulku lillah, wal-hamdu lillah. La `ilaha
illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu (We have entered upon evening and the whole
kingdom of Allah, too, has entered upon evening. Praise is due to Allah. There
is none who has the right to be worshiped but Allah, the One who has no partner
with Him).'' He (the narrator) said: I think that he (PBUH) used to follow the
recitation with these words: "Lahul-mulku, wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa `ala kulli
shi'in Qadir. Rabbi as'aluka khaira ma fi hadhihil-lailati, wa khaira ma
ba`daha; wa a`udhu bika min sharri ma fi hadhihil-lailati, wa sharri ma ba`daha;
Rabbi a'udhu bika minal-kasali, wa su'il-kibari; Rabbi a`udhu bika min `adhabin
fin-nari, wa `adhabin fil-qabri (His is the sovereignty and to Him is all praise
due, and He is Omnipotent. My Rubb, I beg of you good that lies in this night
and good that follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil that lies in
this night and from the evil of that which follows it. My Rubb! I seek refuge in
You from lethargy and the misery of old age. O Allah! I seek Your Protection
from the torment of Hell-fire and the punishment of the grave).'' When it was
morning, he (PBUH) would recite the same, replacing the words: "We have entered
upon evening and the whole kingdom of Allah, too, has entered upon evening''
with "We have entered upon morning and the whole kingdom of Allah entered upon
morning.'' (Replace the words "Amsaina, amsa, hadhihil-lailati, ma ba`daha with
Asbahna, asbaha, hadhal-yaumi, ma ba`dahu, respectively.)
[Muslim Book 35,Chapter 17, Hadith #
6570]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya' Ayat 25."none has the right to
be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else). It is desirable to recite the invocations
cited in the Hadith in the morning and the evening and also when one goes to bed
and awakes. The purpose is that the concept of Allah's Providence and Divinity
remains alive all the time in one's mind. With these words one seeks Allah's
Protection in life and the Hereafter from things which are harmful. One also
begs for his safety and guidance in this life and the Hereafter. This Hadith
fully expresses one's recognition of Allah's Godhood and
Lordship.
