Continuation of the exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (( ... So be upright toward Him and seek His forgiveness, and woe to the polytheists )) .

Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: It appears that this is from the completion of the statement of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) which he was commanded to say. The meaning of is: be upright upon his religion, intending toward Him, so it conveys sincerity in action. Seek from Him forgiveness. Forgiveness encompasses two things: covering the sin and pardoning it, because it is derived from the *mighfar*, which is what a warrior wears on his head to protect himself from weapons. The *mighfar* encompasses protection and covering. Accordingly, whenever you seek forgiveness, keep in mind that you want Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to overlook you so that He does not punish you, and to cover your sin. That is, seek from Him forgiveness, which is covering the sin and overlooking it. "

And woe

وويل

The word 'woe' " The exegete says: This is a subject, and it is permissible to begin with it, and it is an indefinite noun because it is for threat. So it is a word of warning and threat. It was said that it is a valley in Hellfire, but the correct view is the first one: that it is a word of threat and warning for everyone who opposes. "To the polytheists" means those who associate partners with Allah, Mighty and Majestic, whether their association is in servitude, in worship, or in the names and attributes. So whoever claims that there is a creator, helper, or independent creator of some things besides Allah is a polytheist. And whoever worships someone else besides Allah, or shows off in his worship to someone else, is a polytheist. And whoever claims that the attributes of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, are similar to the attributes of the created beings is a polytheist. Know that shirk (associating partners with Allah) is divided into two categories: minor and major, and from another perspective, into hidden and manifest. All of this is known in the books of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and creed.
