Simple
translation:
And (remember that) when We told the angels, “Prostrate
yourselves before Adam,” they all prostrated themselves, save Iblis (i.e.,
Satan): He was one of the Jinns, and he disobeyed the Command of his
Lord-God. Will you, then, take him and his cohorts for (your) friends
and allies instead of Me, although they are your enemies? How vile an exchange
do these wicked people make?”
(18:50)
Commentary:
Surah al-Kahf now turns its attention to one of the
basic reasons which explain mankind’s strange conduct in turning away from
their Lord-God. It is not an accidental turning-away. Rather the combined
forces of both Iblis and his Satans, as well as Dajjal,
constantly target mankind and actively struggle, using Gog and Magog as human
agents, to achieve this end. These are the true enemies of those who worship
Allah Most High. It would surely be an act of great stupidity that we should
turn away from Allah most High and turn, instead to our enemies for friendship
and alliance. How do the enemies achieve
such success in seducing mankind? What is their basic strategy? See the next
verse!
Simple translation:
“I did not make them witnesses of the
creation of the heavens and the earth, nor of the creation of their own selves;
and neither do I take as My helpers those who lead astray.”
(18:51)
Explanatory
translation:
(When they engage in such wicked
conduct let them remember that) “I did not make them witnesses of the creation
of the heavens and the earth, nor of the creation of their own selves; and
neither do I (have any need to) take as My helpers those (beings)
who lead (men) astray.”
Commentary:
Although they were not witnesses of
the creation of the heavens and earth, nor even of their own selves, yet they
have the audacity to offer themselves as gods other than Allah and demand that
mankind must submit to them. The blessed Prophet warned that this would be Dajjal’s
basic strategy for success, in his efforts to corrupt and destroy faith in Allah
Most High, i. e., to get mankind to worship other than Allah, or to associate
others with the worship of Allah Most High (i.e., Shirk). These human
gods and goddesses then use their positions of power and privilege to wage war on
Islam and on the rightly-guided scholars of Islam. Around the world today
governments (with very few exceptions), for example, act as false gods and have
become tools in the hands of Dajjal who exploits them to his advantage
while waging war on Islam.
Simple translation:
And
on that Day in which He will say, “Call out unto all those beings whom you
imagined to have a share in My divinity!” - whereupon they will
invoke them, but they will not respond to them: for We shall have placed
between them an unbridgeable gulf.
(18:52)
Explanatory
translation:
(Be warned of that) Day in which He
(the Lord-God) will say, “Call out (now) unto all those beings
whom you imagined to have a share in My divinity (i.e., the ‘sovereign’
State, national Parliament, Security Council of the UN etc, - those who claimed
sovereignty, supreme authority and supreme domestic or international law) (Call
out to the idols you worshipped, and to the Son or Mother of God you used to
invoke)!” - whereupon they will invoke them, but they will not respond to
them: for We shall have placed between them an unbridgeable gulf.
Commentary:
Who are those whom mankind would be
invited to call on? Will they be the gods and goddesses of Hinduism, the Son and
the Mother of God in Christianity, or the Priests, Rabbis and governments who
usurped divine authority by making Halal (i.e., legalizing) that which
Allah Most High had declared to be Haram (i.e., prohibited) such as gambling
(including State-sponsored lottery), the lending of money on interest and the
use of paper as money (i.e., money with no intrinsic value which allows
governments and banks to make money out of nothing and which is also used to
rip off mankind and reduce the masses to permanent poverty) ?
On that day when Christians call out
to Jesus as God, and invoke him for deliverance from the hellfire and to be blessed
with entry into paradise, he would not respond firstly because he is not God,
and secondly because Allah would place an unbridgeable gulf separating him from
them. Similarly when Hindus call out to their gods and goddesses (other than
the One true God who is neither male nor female but has created both the male
and the female), and invoke them for the same purpose, they, also, would not
respond for the same reasons.
All those who submit to false gods and
goddesses, such as the modern State with its constitutional claim to sovereignty,
would be confronted on the Day of Judgment with the startling demand that they
should invoke the help of their gods and goddesses (other than Allah Most
High). But to their dismay there would be no response and no help from them.
What a surprise awaits those who
patriotically pledged their lives to their political party, or to their country
or State, or who bowed in utter submission to the UN Charter or International
Law or to some false ideology such as modern feminism and delivered supreme
loyalty to these entities rather than to Allah Most High. When they call out to
them for help, these also, would be ominously silent.
Simple
translation:
“And those who were lost in sin would
behold the fire, and would know that they are bound to fall into it, and would find no way of escape
there from.”
(18:53)
Commentary:
The secular rope of godlessness and
sin would have finally come to an end and they would behold before their horrified
eyes the punishment of the hell-fire that awaits them. This is powerful,
compelling, gripping imagery that can shake people to the core of their beings.
