Surah Yunus ayat 29 Tafsir Quran 10:29

﴿فَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِلِينَ﴾
[ يونس: 29]

10:29 And sufficient is Allah as a witness between us and you that we were of your worship unaware."

God suffices as a witness between us and you that indeed in is softened so read as innā we were unaware of your worship’.

And they add: Allah knows all the facts. He is a witness of our actions and of your actions and He corroborates our statement that we were oblivious of the reverence and veneration you paid to us and of your feelings which were akin to worship

(10:29) Allah's witness suffices between you and us that (even if you worshipped us) we were totally unaware of your worshipping us. *37

And sufficient is Allah as a witness meaning

*37).
This shows how the false gods will react to their worshippers.
Angels who had been declared gods and goddesses and therefore, worshipped, the jinn, the spirits, the forefathers of yore, the Prophets, and the saints and martyrs who were considered to share with God some of His attributes, will all disavow their devotees.
They will tell the latter in quite plain terms that they were not even aware that they were being worshipped; that even if they had been prayed to, called upon or cried out to, or had had offerings or sacrifices made in their name, or who had had reverence, adoration, prostration, rituals or ceremonies performed out of devotion for them, none of these had ever reached them.

 

The disbelievers answer back and say: you have indeed commanded us to worship, at which point the idols respond: ( Allah sufficeth as a witness between us and you, that we were unaware of your worship ) we were ignorant of your worship of us.

"So sufficient is Allah for a witness between us and you, that We indeed knew nothing of your worship of us."
