Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ شُرَكَآءَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَرُونِى مَاذَا خَلَقُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ 40a 

                                       

40a.  Say: Have ye seen your partner-gods to whom ye pray beside Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth! Or have they any portion in the heavens?

40a.  Qul  ‘ara-‘aytum  shurakaaa-‘akumul-laziina  tad-‘uuna  min-  duuNillaah.  ‘Aruunii  maa-zaa  khalaquu  minal-‘arzi  ‘am  lahum  shirkun  fis-samaawaat.

Commentary

‘Ara-‘aytum – (Have you seen), this is a proverb in Arabic language used for drawing attention of someone. ‘Aruu is word of command which means “Show!”. It has been derived from ‘iraa-‘tun which has come out from ra’-yun. Ra’-yun means “to see”. ‘Iraa-‘tun means “to show”.

It is the demand of human nature that he should not consider any other greater than himself save Allaah Almighty, Who created him and bestowed astonishing apparent and hidden powers. If he bows before any other instead of Allaah Almighty; then he oppresses himself. The people who established correct concept of Allaah Almighty in their hearts, they can never bow before any other. But those who have faith in other gods save Him, they are being warned in this verse that they should not remain involved in such negligence, startle from dream of carelessness, know their real Worshipped and be grateful to Him always.

It is commanded: O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him)! Ask from them! Have you ever thought about the condition of your self-made gods? Have anyone of them created the earth or its some things, or have they participated in creating the heavens? It is apparent from their condition that those are entirely helpless. Neither those can make anything and nor are able to cause to produce. Then why do these stupid people adore them? Most of them are those who neither are able to hear and see, and nor can they give answer. By their present condition, they have been saying that they are nothing. And those who can speak, they admit even by their tongues that they are helpless. Give up all of them and incline towards Allaah Almighty only!
