BACKGROUND STORY

BACKGROUND STORY

  • The idol-worshippers wanted to make a deal with the Prophet ﷺ. They told him that if he worshipped their gods for a year, they would worship Allah for a year. This surah was revealed, telling them that the Prophet had nothing to do with their idol-worship. (Recorded by Imam At-Tabarani)

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD

1Say, 'O Prophet, O you disbelievers!' 2I do not worship what you worship, 3And you do not worship what I worship. 4I will never worship how you worship, 5And you will never worship how I worship. 6You have your way, and I have my way.
