Paradise is out of bounds for the polytheists.The Greatest Injustice.

In the fifth verse after asking all the Muslims to adhere to pure Tawhid (Oneness of God) and refrain from taking the path of polytheism, a beautiful example has been set by the Qura’n: “it is as though he has fallen from the heavens and birds snatched him away, or the wind wafted him to a different place.” Or that a whirlwind throws him at a distant place. (1)

These heart rendering terms clarify what grievous sin polytheism is.

These birds of prey are the bad attributes inside man or the external evil worshippers who try to ambush the Oneness of God. the whirlwind are the wayward Satans who have been mentioned in verse 83 of Surah Maryam, “Did you not see that We have sent the Satans to the disbelievers to instigate them and the invite them to chase the polytheists, put their nooses in their necks and take them wherever they want to” These maybe the severe political strife and turmoil’s and none can stay forbearing in them but the Mumin who believes in the oneness of God.

The sixth verse asks the Holy messenger to tell the people about the things that God has forbidden and the first among them is polytheism. The Book in Verse 83 of Surah Maryam says, ‘Say: Come I will recite what your Lord has prohibited for you: Do not join anything in worship with Him.”(2)

Then the ten commandments of God are being enumerated and these are called the ten commandments of the Holy messenger. The first among them is the invitation to Tawhid or oneness of God. The Book says: “Do not consider anything to be a partner of God” The rest of the nine can be read in Tafsir Namuna under the explanation of these verses.





(1) The origin of “Takhtaf is “Khataf” which means to suddenly grab something. The origin of “Saheeq” is Sahaq and it means to smash something to smithereens. This word is used to depict the vacating of old houses and discarding old clothes. But the last meaning is most appropriate with the verse.
(2) “Ta’Alu” originates from “A’lu’ which means the calling of one person to the others from a risen place or in other words asking them “to come up” Then the scope was widened and it was used for general initiation (Al Minar Vol8 Pager 183) It may contain the great invitation towards God because the Holy Messenger desire to take his people to a lofty place.
