Commentary on Tafsir al-Jalalayn: “And those who shun the taghut,” namely the idols, “from worshipping them.”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The author said: “the idols”, so he interpreted taghut as the objects of worship, which are the idols. For this reason, he said:
from worshipping them أن يعبدوها
from worshipping themأن يعبدوها
thatأن
This is a verbal noun (masdar), and the interpretation of the verbal noun following it is in the accusative case because it is a substitute (badal) for taghut. From which type of substitute is it?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No.
The student: A partial substitute (badal ba'd).

The Shaykh : No, not a partial substitute, because worship is not of some of the idols.
The student: A comprehensive substitute (badal ishtimal).

The Shaykh : A comprehensive substitute. Good, so we say:
from worshipping themأن يعبدوها
is in the position of an accusative substitute for
taghutالطاغوت
. And his saying:
from worshipping themأن يعبدوها
They worship the idols by calling upon them, but they claim that they do not worship them except to bring them closer to Allah. Then he said:
and turned back to Allah وأنابوا إلى الله
[Az-Zumar 39:17]
to the end of it in the next lesson, if Allah wills.
