The verse says...
The verse says: “And (I have also been commanded) that ‘Set your face towards the Religion uprightly, and never be of the polytheists.’” The Prophet’s responsibility is to get the people to desist from the worship of self-styled gods and induce the sincere worship of the one Allah, “Allah”, to inculcate an honest faith in Him and to execute His Commandments whether apparent or hidden.
They should not worship other gods and man-made idols, for by doing this they would be oppressing themselves because these false deities are of no advantage or disadvantage to them. He Who is really the only source of benefit and loss is no one but “Allah”.
The verse says: “And do not call other than Allah on that which will neither profit you nor hurt you: for if you do, then verily you will on that case be of the unjust.” Man’s submission to idols and those manufactured deities he has made as partners with the Creator, is injustice to himself.
If he does this, he will lose his identity which is one of the most precious endowments he is blessed with, and if he tries to persuade others to follow this road this can also be considered as oppressing the people by misleading them in their thinking. Though this speech is addressed to the Prophet, in reality it is targeted at the people.
He causes it to reach whomsoever of His servants He pleases, and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” If Allah causes you pain in cases of calamities or brings you hardships or sufferings, no one but He is able to release you by removing them, and if He gives you well-being in matters of health, blessings or affluence and so forth, no one can hinder Him or block His way. The verse says: “And if Allah afflicts you with any hurt, none can remove it but Him.
And if He intends any good for you, none can repel His favor...” Allah’s beneficence, which is always appropriate, extends in different circumstances for whom He pleases from among His servants and according to His wise Judgment and realistic evaluation. He is forgiving of the sins committed by his servants and He is compassionate towards them.
