Explaining the purpose of people in Surat al-Nas.

The Shaykh : So, the God of people: do we say that "people" here is general but intended to mean the specific, or is it general for all of humanity?
Answer: It is general but intended to mean the specific, because some humans do not make Allah their God. Did you not know that Quraysh said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) The question here is for denial and amazement Then they said meaning making the gods one God And by Allah, the amazing thing is making the gods multiple; that is the amazing thing. As for making the God one, that is the correct thing.
