[28].Surah Al-Qasas [The Narration]: Ayat 88

৮৮. আপনি আল্লাহর সাথে অন্য উপাস্যকে আহ্বান করবেন না। তিনি ব্যতীত অন্য কোন উপাস্য নেই। আল্লাহর সত্তা ব্যতীত সব কিছু ধ্বংস হবে। বিধান তাঁরই এবং তোমরা তাঁরই কাছে প্রত্যাবর্তিত হবে।

Ayat 88. And invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Everything will perish save His Face. His is the Decision, and to Him you (all) shall be returned.

Tafseer of Surah Al-Qasas (The Narration) Ayat 88. And call not, besides Allah, on another god. There is no god but He. Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face. To Him belongs the Command, and to Him will ye (all) be brought back. This sums up the lesson of the whole Surah. The only Eternal Reality is Allah. The whole phenomenal world is subject to flux and change and will pass away, but He will endure forever.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said,"The most truthful statement a poet has ever made is the saying of Labid: Everything besides Allah is vain.'' [Al-Bukhari Book 05, Chapter 58, Hadith # 181]

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Qasas Ayat 88. “invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah” 1. We learn from this Hadith that to compose, recite and quote good verses, as evidence, is permissible. 2. The Verse of Labid, quoted in this Hadith, is the same effect as the verdict of the Noble Qur'an: "Whatsoever is on (the earth) will perish." (55:26). This Verse accepts the eternity of the Afterlife and the transitory nature of this world.
