In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Extract from QUR’AANIC
STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:
163. Wa-ilahukum
ilahun wahidun la ilaha illa huwa alrrahmanu
alrraheemu
2:163. And the Being worthy
of your worship is the One, and Only! None is worthy of worship other than He,
the Gracious, the Merciful.263
263. Allah, as we Muslims know, is the One and Only Being
worthy of worship (Ilaah). 'Worship' connotes unquestioned obedience. We
worship Allah if, and only if, we obey all His commands given in the Qur'aan.
But we need to introspect, deeply and sincerely, whether we really do so. We
need to introspect whether we do not have ilaahs, other than Allah, in
the form of our own carnal desires and in the forms of other forces, human or
otherwise, imagined or real, in the influence of which we often do things
contrary to divine commands.
