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.
