بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

6.71

قُلْ اَنَدْعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا یَنْفَعُنَا وَ لَا یَضُرُّنَا وَ نُرَدُّ عَلٰۤى اَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰىنَا اللّٰهُ كَالَّذِی اسْتَهْوَتْهُ الشَّیٰطِیْنُ فِی الْاَرْضِ حَیْرَانَ۪-لَهٗۤ اَصْحٰبٌ یَّدْعُوْنَهٗۤ اِلَى الْهُدَى ائْتِنَاؕ-قُلْ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰىؕ-وَ اُمِرْنَا لِنُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(71)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

Say: “Should we worship other than Allah one who can neither benefit us nor cause us any harm? And should we retreat upon our heels after Allah has granted us guidance like the one whom the devils lead astray in the earth, bewildered, and his companions are calling him to the path, saying, ‘Come forth to us.’” Say: “The guidance of Allah is the only guidance. And we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of all the worlds.[1]

Commentary

[1]

The verse states an example of those who call towards the truth and those who call towards falsehood: during a journey, devils misguide an individual leading him towards a path of destruction. His friends call him towards the right path while he stands wondering where he should go. If he walks on the path of the devils, he will perish, and if he listens to his companions, he shall reach his destination safely. This is the state of the one who deviates from the way of Islam and walks upon the path of Satan, and Muslims are calling him to the right path. Now, if he accepts the call of the Muslims, he will attain salvation. Otherwise, he will be destroyed.
