Tafsir of Surat al-Kafirun.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It is clear, my brothers. If we return to the root of the issue, what do we want to talk about? The brother
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Surah, well done. These two surahs encompass the categories of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), so let us look. Allah the Exalted said to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)[Al-Kafirun 109:1-2] And the command is for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); the command is for him and for whom? And for the ummah (the Muslim community) Declare it, declare it[Al-Kafirun 109:1-2] What do they worship? Idols. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disavowed them. Allah commanded him; Allah commanded His Prophet to disavow that[Al-Kafirun 109:2]، [Al-Kafirun 109:3] It also means that you are disavowing what I worship. So if someone says: Do not these people worship Allah and worship other than Allah? How does he say[Al-Kafirun 109:3] Did not Ibrahim say to his people, to his father and his people[Az-Zukhruf 43:26] What?[Az-Zukhruf 43:27] So the disbelievers worship Allah and worship other than Him, so what is the answer? And here he says[Al-Kafirun 109:3] And the word of Allah is truth. How do we reconcile this with the fact that they worship Allah? Yes, one, two. Pay attention, you will see a discussion in it. Are you ready? Come on.

The Shaykh : Good, good, and the other is better so that our time does not run out. I say: These mushrikin (one who associates partners with Allah) who worship Allah and worship other than Him—do you not know that their worship of Allah is of no benefit, even if they worship Allah, it does not benefit them? It came in the authentic hadith qudsi that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated from his Lord, that Allah said: Pay attention, stand up a little, pay attention. It came in the hadith qudsi that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated from his Lord, that He said:Sahih Muslim 2985 Get it right. Sahih Muslim 2985 Did you hear the hadith? Rest. Good, listen, my brother. If the one who worships Allah and worships other than Him, his worship does not benefit him, he is like the one who does not worship Allah. And for this reason it says: [Al-Kafirun 109:3] Because if they had worshipped Allah with true worship, they would not have associated partners with Him.
