Surah Al Imran ayat 80 Tafsir Quran 3:80

﴿وَلَا يَأْمُرَكُمْ أَن تَتَّخِذُوا الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ أَرْبَابًا ۗ أَيَأْمُرُكُم بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ﴾
[ آل عمران: 80]

3:80 Nor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?

He would never order you read lā ya’murukum to denote a new clause meaning ‘God would not order you’; or if read lā ya’murakum it would be a supplement to yaqūla ‘he should say’ meaning ‘it belongs not that… a mortal should order you’; to take the angels and the prophets as lords in the way that the Sabaeans have taken the angels the Jews Ezra and the Christians Jesus. Would He order you to disbelieve after you have submitted? He would not do this.

Allah does not ordain that you take the angels and the Prophets as tutelary deities. Would he command you to deny Him after you have conformed your will to His blessed will and accepted His divine system of faith and worship

(3:80) He will never enjoin you to take the angels or Prophets for your lords. Will he enjoin upon you unbelief when you have submitted yourselves to Allah? *68

Nor could he order you to take meaning

*68).
This refutation is directed at all the false concepts which were attributed to the Messengers of God by various nations, and then made an integral part of the religious scriptures.
These concepts were false in that they elevated either the Prophets or the angels to the level of deities
 

( And he commanded you ) O people of the Quraysh, Jews and Christians ( not that ye should take the angels ) as daughters of Allah ( and the Prophets for lords. Would he command you to disbelieve ) how could Abraham command you to follow disbelief ( after ye had surrendered (to Allah )) after he commanded you to follow Islam ( completely Surrendering to Allah ), saying to you: ( Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true ) Religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered [ 2:132 ]). Allah says here: Allah has not sent a Messenger except that He commanded him to follow Islam and not Judaism, Christianity or the worship of idols, as these unbelievers claim. It is also said that this verse was revealed about the claims of the Jews that Muhammad commanded them to love him and worship him as the Christians worshipped Jesus. The Christians and idolaters also made the same claim.

Nor would he order you to take angels and Prophets for lords (gods). Would he order you to disbelieve after you have submitted to Allah's Will? (Tafsir At-Tabari).
