Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 23 Al-Mu'minun, Ayat 117-117

وَمَنۡ يَّدۡعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَۙ لَا بُرۡهَانَ لَهٗ بِهٖۙ فَاِنَّمَا حِسَابُهٗ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهٖؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفۡلِحُ الۡـكٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿23:117﴾

(23:117) He who invokes any other god along with Allah " one for whom he has no evidence"104 his reckoning is with his Lord alone.105 Indeed, these unbelievers shall not prosper.106


Notes

104. It may also be translated as: The one who invokes any other deity along with Allah, has nothing to support him in this act.

105. That is, he cannot escape accountability.

106. Again, the reference is to those who will attain the success and to those who will be deprived of it.
