Surah Hud 11:110

Associating Partners with Allah is no doubt Misguidance

Allah, the Exalted, says,

(So be not in doubt as to what these people worship.) This refers to the polytheists. Verily, what they are doing is falsehood, ignorance and misguidance. Verily, they are only worshipping what their fathers worshipped before. This means that they have no support for their Shirk. They are only mimicking their fathers in ignorance. Therefore, Allah will give them due recompense for that and He will punish them with a punishment the likes of which none can give besides Him. If they did any good deeds, then Allah will reward them for those good works in this life, before the life of the Hereafter. Concerning Allah's statement,

(And verily, We shall repay them in full their portion without diminution.) `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said, "We will pay them in full their portion of punishment without diminution." Then, Allah mentions that He gave Musa the Book, but the people differed concerning it. Some believed in it and some disbelieved in it. Therefore, you, Muhammad, have an example in the Prophets who came before you. So do not grieve or be upset by their denial of you.

(and had it not been for a Word Kalimah that had gone forth before from your Lord, the case would have been judged between them,) Ibn Jarir said, "If it were not that the punishment had already been delayed until an appointed time, then Allah would have decided the matter between you now. The word Kalimah carries the meaning that Allah will not punish anyone until the proof has been established against him and a Messenger has been sent to him." This is similar to Allah's statement,

(And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning).) 17:15 For verily, Allah says in another verse,

(And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, and a term determined, (their punishment) must necessarily have come (in this world). So bear patiently what they say.)20:129-130 Then, Allah informs that He will gather the early generations and the later generations from all of the nations. He will then reward them based upon their deeds. If they did good deeds, their reward will be good, and if they did evil deeds, their reward will be bad. Allah says,

(And verily, to each of them your Lord will repay their works in full. Surely, He is All-Aware of what they do.) This means that He is All-Knower of all of their deeds. This includes their honorable deeds and their despicable deeds, their small deeds and their great deeds. There are many different modes of recitation for this verse, yet all of their meanings agree with what we have mentioned. This is similar to Allah's statement,

(And surely, all - everyone of them will be brought before Us.)36:32

Pada ayat ini, Allah swt menerangkan bahwa Dia telah memberikan kitab Taurat kepada Musa a.s., kemudian kitab Taurat itu diperselisihkan oleh kaumnya, apakah kitab Taurat itu betul dari Allah atau bukan? Ada di antara mereka yang percaya, bahwa kitab Taurat itu betul-betul dari Allah dan sebagian yang lain mengingkarinya. Oleh karena itu, Nabi Muhammad tidak perlu merasa gusar kalau dia melihat orang-orang kafir Mekah meragukan Al-Quran, baik isi maupun kebenarannya. Andaikata tidak ada ketentuan dari Allah untuk menangguhkan kepada orang-orang yang zalim dan ingkar sampai kepada waktu yang telah ditetapkan, tentunya Allah mengazab mereka sebagaimana telah mengazab dan menghancurkan orang-orang yang menentang dakwah rasul dahulu sebelum Nabi Muhammad saw. Sejalan dengan isi ayat ini, Allah berfirman:

Dan janganlah engkau mengira, bahwa Allah lengah dari apa yang diperbuat oleh orang yang zalim. Sesungguhnya Allah menangguhkan mereka sampai hari yang pada waktu itu mata (mereka) terbelalak, (Ibrahim/14: 42)

Pada akhir ayat ini Allah menjelaskan bahwa orang-orang yang mendustakan kitab Allah benar-benar dalam keraguan dan kebimbangan yang sangat dalam, sebagaimana firman Allah:

Dan mereka (Ahli Kitab) tidak berpecah belah kecuali setelah datang kepada mereka ilmu (kebenaran yang disampaikan oleh para nabi) karena kedengkian antara sesama mereka. Jika tidaklah karena suatu ketetapan yang telah ada dahulunya dari Tuhanmu (untuk menangguhkan azab) sampai batas waktu yang ditentukan, pastilah hukuman bagi mereka telah dilaksanakan. Dan sesungguhnya orang-orang yang mewarisi Kitab (Taurat dan Injil) setelah mereka (pada zaman Muhammad), benar-benar berada dalam keraguan yang mendalam tentang Kitab (Al-Quran) itu. (asy-Syura/42: 14)
