Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51:51

Proofs of Allah's Oneness abound in the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth

Allah reminds us of the creating of the higher and lower worlds,

(We constructed the heaven.) meaning, `We made it as a high roof, protected from falling,'

(with Hands), meaning, with strength, according to `Abdullah bin `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Ath-Thawri and several others,

(Verily, We are able to extend the vastness of space thereof.) means, `We made it vast and We brought its roof higher without pillars to support it, and thus it is hanging independently.'

(And We have made the earth a Firash), meaning, `We have made it a resting place for the created,'

(how excellent a spreader (thereof) are We!), meaning, `We spread it for its inhabitants,'

(And of everything We have created pairs,) meaning, all the created are in pairs, the heaven and earth, night and day, sun and moon, land and sea, light and darkness, faith and disbelief, death and life, misery and happiness, Paradise and Fire, in addition to the animals and plants. The statement of Allah the Exalted,

(that you may remem- ber.) and know that the Creator, Allah, is One without partners,

(So, flee to Allah.) meaning, seek shelter with Him and trust in Him in all of your affairs,

(Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him. And set not up any other god along with Allah.) do not associate any partners with Him,

(Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him.)

Kemudian Allah swt dalam ayat ini melarang manusia menjadikan sesuatu sembahan di samping-Nya. Karena segala sesuatu selain Allah tidak patut disembah. Pada akhir ayat ini Allah swt memerintahkan kepada rasul-Nya supaya menegaskan bahwa ia sesungguhnya pemberi peringatan yang sebenarnya dari Allah, untuk menyampaikan peringatan akan adanya siksaan Allah bagi siapa saja yang menjadikan suatu makhluk sebagai tujuan ibadat dan disembah. Dalam ayat yang sama artinya Allah swt berfirman:

Barang siapa mengharap pertemuan dengan Tuhannya maka hendaklah dia mengerjakan kebajikan dan janganlah dia mempersekutukan dengan sesuatu pun dalam beribadah kepada Tuhannya." (al-Kahf/18: 110)
