﴿فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴾
[ الشعراء: 108]

26:108 So fear Allah and obey me.

So fear God and obey me in what I enjoin you to of God’s Oneness and obedience to Him.

A message exacting your reverence for Allah and obedience to me

Nuh's preaching to His People, and Their Response Here Allah tells us about His servant and Messenger Nuh, peace be upon him, who was the first Messenger sent by Allah to the people of earth after they started to worship idols.
Allah sent him to forbid that and to warn people of the consequences of idol worship.
But his people belied him and continued their evil practice of worshipping idols besides Allah.
Allah revealed that their disbelieving in him was akin to disbelieving in all the Messengers, So Allah said: كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ - إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ ( The people of Nuh belied the Messengers.
When their brother Nuh said to them: "Will you not have Taqwa" ) meaning, `do you not fear Allah when you worship others instead of Him' إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ( I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. ) means, `I am the Messenger of Allah to you, faithfully fulfilling the mission with which Allah has sent me.
I convey the Messages of my Lord to you, and I do not add anything to them or take anything away from them., فَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ وَمَآ أَسْـَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ( So have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me.
No reward do I ask of you for it; ) means, `I do not want any payment for the advice I give you; I will save my reward for it with Allah.
' فَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ( So have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me. ) `It is clear to you that I am telling the truth and that I am faithfully fulfilling the mission with which Allah has entrusted me.'

(26:108) so fear Allah and obey me: *78

So fear Allah and obey me. meaning

*78) That is, " When I am a truthiui and trustworthy Messenger, you are duty-bound to obey me alone as against all other patrons, and carry out my commands and instructions, because I represent the will of God: obedience to me is in fact obedience to God and disobedience to me is disobedience to Him. " In other words, the people are not only required to accept a Messenger as a true Messenger sent by Allah, but it inevitably implies that they have to obey him and follow his Law against all other laws.
To reject a Prophet, or to disobey him after accepting him as a Prophet, is tantamount to rebellion against God, which inevitably leads to His wrath.
The words " fear AIlah " are, therefore, a warning that every heater should clearly understand the consequences of rejecting the message of a Messenger or of disobeying his commands.
