Fattaqoo Allaha waateeAAoon (surah Shuara: 110)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(26:110) therefore, you should fear Allah and obey me (without hesitation)." *80

Fattaqul laaha wa atee`oon

*80) Repetition of this sentence is not without reason. In the first case Iv. I U8), it implied this: "You should fear Allah if you treat as false a true and trustworthy Messenger from Him, whom you yourselves have been regarding as a true and trustworthy tnan in the past." Here it means: "You should fear Allah if you doubt the intention of a person who is working sincerely only for the reformation of the people without any personal interest." This thing has been stressed because the chiefs of Prophet Noah's people, in order to find fault with his message of Truth, accused him of struggling merely for his personal superiority: "He merely intends to obtain superiority over you." (Al-Mu'minun: 24)
