إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ ( When he said to his people: "Will you not have Taqwa" ) means, `do you not fear Allah when you worship others instead of Him' أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلاً وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَـلِقِينَ ( Will you call upon Ba`l and forsake the Best of creators, ) Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Qatadah and As-Suddi said that the word Ba`l means lord.
`Ikrimah and Qatadah said, "This is the language of the people of Yemen." According to another report from Qatadah, it is the language of Azd Shanu'ah.
`Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam narrated from his father that it is the name of an idol which was worshipped by the people of a city called Ba`labak ( Baalbek ) which is to the west of Damascus.
Ad-Dahhak said, "It is an idol which they used to worship." أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلاً ( Will you call upon Ba`l ) means, `will you worship an idol,' أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلاً وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَـلِقِينَ - اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ الاٌّوَّلِينَ ( and forsake the Best of creators, Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers ) means, `He is the One Who is deserving of your worship alone, with no partners or associates.' فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ( But they denied him, so they will certainly be brought forth, ) means, for the punishment on the Day of Reckoning. إِلاَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ( Save the chosen servants of Allah. ) means, those who believe in Him alone. وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى الاٌّخِرِينَ ( And We left for him among the later generations. ) means, he is praised and spoken of highly. سَلَـمٌ عَلَى إِلْ يَاسِينَ ( Salam (peace! ) be upon Ilyasin!) Similarly, one might say for Isma`il, Isma`in.
This is the language ( dialect ) of Bani Asad; they say Mikal, Mika'il, and Mika'in.
They say Ibrahim and Ibraham; Isra'il, Isra'in; Tur Sina', Tur Sinin.
All of that is fine. إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِينَ - إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( Verily, thus do We reward the doers of good.
Verily, he was one of Our believing servants. ) We have already discussed the meaning of this above.
And Allah knows best.
