Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 22 Al-Haj, Ayat 67-67

لِّـكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ جَعَلۡنَا مَنۡسَكًا هُمۡ نَاسِكُوۡهُ​ فَلَا يُنَازِعُنَّكَ فِى الۡاَمۡرِ​ وَادۡعُ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ​ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَعَلٰى هُدًى مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ‏ ﴿22:67﴾

(22:67) For every people115 We have prescribed a way of worship116 which they follow. So, (O Muhammad), let them not dispute with you concerning this,117 and call them to Your Lord. You are certainly on the Straight Way.118

Notes

115. That is, the community of every Prophet.

116. Here the Arabic word mansak has been used in its most comprehensive sense which also includes sacrifice (verse 34). It means service, worship, in short, the entire way of life. The same theme has been expressed in (Surah Al-Maidah, Ayat 48): We prescribed a law and a way of life for each of you.

117. That is, now you have brought a way of life just as the former Prophets brought ways of life for their people. Therefore the people have no right to dispute with you concerning the law you have brought.

118. This confirms the explanation given in( E.N. 117) above.
