Surah Maryam ayat 44 Tafsir Quran 19:44

﴿يَا أَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ عَصِيًّا﴾
[ مريم: 44]

19:44 O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.

O my father! Do not worship Satan by obeying him through your worship of idols. Truly Satan is disobedient the intensive form‘asiyyan means ‘one given to disobedience’ to the Compassionate One.

My father, he said, do not take AL-Shaytan (Satan) as a guide and espouse his cause. He incites you to regard idols with reverence and veneration and feelings akin to worship. Keep in mind that he exercised open and determined defiance of Allah, AL-Rahman and resisted His Authority

Ibrahim's Admonition of His Father Allah, the Exalted, tells His Prophet, Muhammad ﷺ, وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتَـبِ إِبْرَهِيمَ ( And mention in the Book, Ibrahim. ) "Recite this to your people who are worshipping idols and mention to them what happened with Ibrahim, the intimate Friend ( Khalil ) of the Most Beneficent.
These idol worshippers ( Arabs ) are his descendants and they claim to follow his religion.
Inform them that he was a truthful Prophet.
Tell them about what took place with his father and how he forbade him from worshipping idols." Ibrahim said, يأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لاَ يَسْمَعُ وَلاَ يَبْصِرُ وَلاَ يُغْنِى عَنكَ شَيْئاً ( O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything ) Meaning that these idols will not benefit you, nor can they protect you from any harm. يأَبَتِ إِنِّى قَدْ جَآءَنِى مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ ( O my father! Verily, there has come to me the knowledge of that which came not unto you. ) This means, "Even though I am from your loins and you see me as inferior to you because I am your son, know that I have received knowledge from Allah that you do not know and it has not reached you." فَاتَّبِعْنِى أَهْدِكَ صِرَاطاً سَوِيّاً ( So follow me, I will guide you to the straight path. ) meaning, "a straight path that will carry you to the desired objective and save you from that which is dreaded ( Hell )." يأَبَتِ لاَ تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطَـنَ ( O my father! Worship not Shaytan. ) This is means, "Do not obey him by worshipping these idols.
He invites to this ( idolatry ) and he is pleased with it." This is as Allah says, أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يبَنِى ءَادَمَ أَن لاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ الشَّيطَـنَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ( Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaytan.
Verily, he is a plain enemy to you. ) 36:60 Allah also says, إِن يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلاَّ إِنَـثاً وَإِن يَدْعُونَ إِلاَّ شَيْطَـناً مَّرِيداً ( They invoke nothing but females idols besides Him (Allah ), and they invoke nothing but Shaytan, a persistent rebel!) 4:117 Concerning Allah's statement, إِنَّ الشَّيْطَـنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـنِ عَصِيّاً ( Verily, Shaytan has been a rebel against the Most Gracious. ) This means obstinate and too arrogant to obey his Lord.
Therefore, Allah expelled him and made him an outcast.
Therefore, "do not follow him or you will become like him.
" يأَبَتِ إِنِّى أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَـنِ ( O my father! Verily, I fear lest a torment from the Most Gracious should overtake you, ) "because of your associating partners with Allah and your disobedience in what I am commanding you with." فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيْطَـنِ وَلِيّاً ( so that you become a companion of Shaytan. ) This means, "there will be no one who will protect you, or help you, or assist you, except Iblis.
However, neither he, nor anyone else, has any power over the outcome of matters.
Following him will only cause you to be surrounded by the torment ( of Allah )." This is as Allah says, تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَى أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَـِّنُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ( By Allah, We indeed sent (Messengers ) to the nations before you, but Shaytan made their deeds fair seeming to them.
So he is their helper today ( in this world ), and theirs will be a painful torment.) 16:63

(19:44) Dear father! do not serve Satan, *27 for Satan is disobedient to the Merciful.

O my father, do not worship Satan. meaning

*27) It should be noted that the literal translation of the Arabic text is: " Do not worship Satan ", though Abraham's father and the other people did not worship Satan in the same sense as they worshipped idols.
But as they followed and obeyed Satan, he accused them of worshipping Satan.
Thus it is clear that if somebody follows and obeys , Satan, he virtually worships him.
For Satan has never been a deity in the sense that people have made him an object of worship; nay, they have always been cursing him and following him at the same time.
( For further details see Surah Al-Kahf (XVIII ) E.N.'s 49-50).
