Surah zariyat ayat 51 Tafsir Quran 51:51

﴿وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ﴾
[ الذاريات: 51]

51:51 And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

And do not set up another god alongside God. Truly I am a clear warner to you from Him before fa-firrū ‘so flee’ one may read an implicit preceding qul lahum ‘Say to them’.

And do not incorporate with Him another deity; look to yourselves; I am your spectacle who gives you a fair warning

Proofs of Allah's Oneness abound in the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth Allah reminds us of the creating of the higher and lower worlds, وَالسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـهَا ( We constructed the heaven. ) meaning, `We made it as a high roof, protected from falling,' بِأَيْدٍ ( with Hands ), meaning, with strength, according to `Abdullah bin `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Ath-Thawri and several others, وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ( Verily, We are able to extend the vastness of space thereof. ) means, `We made it vast and We brought its roof higher without pillars to support it, and thus it is hanging independently.' وَالاٌّرْضَ فَرَشْنَـهَا ( And We have made the earth a Firash ), meaning, `We have made it a resting place for the created,' فَنِعْمَ الْمَـهِدُونَ ( how excellent a spreader (thereof ) are We!), meaning, `We spread it for its inhabitants,' وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ ( And of everything We have created pairs, ) meaning, all the created are in pairs, the heaven and earth, night and day, sun and moon, land and sea, light and darkness, faith and disbelief, death and life, misery and happiness, Paradise and Fire, in addition to the animals and plants.
The statement of Allah the Exalted, لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ( that you may remem- ber. ) and know that the Creator, Allah, is One without partners, فَفِرُّواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ ( So, flee to Allah. ) meaning, seek shelter with Him and trust in Him in all of your affairs, إِنِّى لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌوَلاَ تَجْعَلُواْ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـهاً ءَاخَرَ ( Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him.
And set not up any other god along with Allah. ) do not associate any partners with Him, إِنِّى لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ( Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him. )

(51:51) and do not set up any deity with Allah. Surely I am a clear warner to you from Him. *48

And do not make [as equal] with meaning

*48) Though these sentences are the Word of Allah, the speaker here is not AIIah but the Holy Messenger of Allah.
In fact, Allah has made his Messenger say: " Flee unto Allah: I am warning you from Him. " An instance of this style is found in the very first Surah of the Qur'an, Surah AI-Fatihah, where the Word is of Allah, but the speakers are the servants, who say: Iyyaka na `budu wa lyyaka nasta 'in; ihdi-nas sirat al-mustaqim: " Thee alone we worship and to Thee alone we pray for help.
Show us the Straight Way. " Just as there it has not been said: " O believers, pray to your Lord thus, " but the context itself shows that it is a supplication which Allah is teaching His servants, so here also it has not been said; " O Prophet, say to these people, ".but the context itself indicates that it is an invitation to the Oneness of God, which the Holy Prophet is presenting according to Allah's command.
Besides Surah Al-Fatihah, there are several other instances also of this style in the Qur'an, where though the Word is of Allah, the speakers somewhere are the angels and somewhere the Holy Prophet, and the context shows as through whom AIlah is speaking at that particular place.
For instance, see Surah Maryam: 64-65, As-Saaffat :159-167, Ash-Shu`ara': 10.

( And set not any other god along with Allah ) refrain from saying: Allah has a son or partner; ( lo! I am a plain warner ) in a language you understand ( unto you from Him ) from Allah.

And set not up (or worship) any other ilahan (god) along with Allah [Glorified be He (Alone), Exalted above all that they associate as partners with Him]. Verily, I (Muhammad SAW) am a plain warner to you from Him.
