Indication, therefore, [Al-Ma'idah 5:51] guidance of success, not guidance of indication, for the guidance of indication is established for everyone, yes.

If it is attribution, it becomes a permanent attribute, just as we say: carpenter, blacksmith, woodworker, builder, and the like. If it is a form of exaggeration, it is not a permanent attribute, but it indicates abundance. In any case, whether it is exaggeration or attribution, the intended meaning is disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The author said:“by worshipping other than Allah”. There is no doubt that this is disbelief: worshipping other than Allah. The specification of disbelief here by worshipping other than Allah is supported by the context, which is his statement earlier: [Az-Zumar 39:3]
