بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

46.28

فَلَوْ لَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ قُرْبَانًا اٰلِهَةًؕ-بَلْ ضَلُّوْا عَنْهُمْۚ-وَ ذٰلِكَ اِفْكُهُمْ وَ مَا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ(28)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

So why did those ˹idols˺ whom they had taken as gods other than Allah for nearness ˹to Him˺ not help them? [1] Rather, they disappeared from them; and that was their slander and what they used to fabricate.

Commentary

[1]

It is disbelief to consider idols as intercessors, helpers, and a means to gain the proximity of Allah Almighty; whereas, by the bestowal of Allah Almighty, to consider the beloved servants of Allah Almighty as intercessors and helpers and a means of attaining proximity to Allah is the essence of faith. To disregard this huge difference and instead apply this verse to any prophet عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم or saint, and to use it as proof of them not being intercessors and helpers with the bestowal of Allah is incorrect.
