Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Heart of the Qur'an: A Commentary to Sura al Yasin Ayat no. 22-23 In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back; What! shall I take besides Him gods whose intercession, if the Beneficent God should desire to afflict me with a harm, shall not avail me aught, nor shall they be able to deliver me?

(36:22-23) *** *** One who manifests is worthy of worship The noble believer Habib Najjar argues before the community of polytheists, “What has happened to me that I should not worship the One Who made me manifest (created me) and also made me return towards Him?” The messengers say, “You must worship the One Who brought you from non-existence into existence when, before that, you were nothing.” There surely came over man a period of time when he was a thing not worth mentioning.

(76:1) *** *** Thereafter He has, from a drop of sperm, manufactured this wonderful body and a strange structure. “He created me ” is a proof showing the aptness of worshipping Only One God, Who is the Creator. He is the Owner and you are owned (by Him), a slave and a servant, and the Master is the Lord of the worlds. For what did He create various kinds of woods, vegetables, stones, iron, angels, jinn’s or man except that all should worship Him and Him alone? You must be humble before Him.

Humility before and fear of anyone or anybody else is wrong. None of those others are creators; they have not created anything. Is He then Who creates like him who does not create? Do you not then mind? (16:17) *** *** Fear of and hope from Only One God to Whom all have to return And to Him you shall be brought back… *** *** Commentators say that here is a hint at the degree or rank of fear and hope. O ignorant! When you die, you return to God.

Therefore, you should worship Him with a hope to get reward from Him. O idol worshipper! Do you return to the idol after your death? Surely we are Allah's and to Him we shall surely return. (2:156) Do something by which the One towards Whom you are returning may be pleased with you and not the created ones and created things that are as weak as you are. It is the same with regard to fear. Your return is towards your creator. So fear Him so that you may not be a target of His displeasure.
