Interpretation of the Quran- Surat Al- Baqarah (2)- Lesson (11)- Verses [22]: The sky Building.

1998-09-04

In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Dear brother, we continue with lesson "11" of the interpretation of "Surat Al-Baqarah".

The sky is a building:

We continue with the verse number twenty-two which is the Words of Allah, The Greatest:

﴾ Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped (22) ﴿

First, dear brother, the sky is a building because there is a system of gravity between the planets, and without the movement of planets in a closed paths, the universe would become a single block, because the biggest mass gravitates the small one, and a centrifugal power which originates from the movement of the planets equals the gravitational power; so, the heaven is a building; but without these closed paths, the movement of planets would be disordered, and the sky as Allah, Almighty, said:

﴾ By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again (11) ﴿

[Al-Tariq]

It means that each planet revolves in a closed path, this cycle agrees by its breadth and speed with the gravitation power of the other star for it; so, it arises what is called in the field of mechanics: The kinetic balance, everything is moving and everything is balanced, this is a massive building; so, it is imperative to clarify this fact.
If we fetch a perfectly flat surface and two magnetic blocs which have the same size, and put a ball between them; you need a very big effort to make this ball stabilized in the middle between the two blocs, since the gravitation of the two blocs for this ball is equivalent, it stands in the middle, but if it has been dislodged tenth of millimeter, it would gravitate to the first bloc, and if the ball has been dislodged tenth of ml towards the second bloc, the ball would gravitate to it; therefore, it needs to a very big effort to settle in the middle; and if the two blocs were not equal, then you need too many mathematical calculations; and if the volume of the first bloc is the double of the volume of the second bloc, you must put the ball in a distance that suits the gravitation of the large bloc, and a distance which suits the gravitation of the small one. It's calculations.

This universe is built in a fantastic way:

But if these blocks were three or four, and each block has a different size, and has a different gravitation force!! Then don't forget that our talk was just about a flat surface, but if these blocks are moving in a vacuum, and have different sizes, different distances between each other, and move with different speeds; so, the miraculous is to balance these blocks which vary in size, speed and distance; at the time that they are moving in a vacuum; and the result is a balance. That is the miraculous kinetic balance.

﴾ the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. (67) ﴿

[Al-Zumar]

He, Almighty, owns the heavens and the earth, and that is the meaning of the Words of Allah, Almighty:

The sky is a building, and Allah, Glory be to Him, is He Who has built this system and Who has built these galaxies. One of you may ask: "How many galaxies in the universe?" The universe is still unknown, but the little information which were reached to by scientists say that there are a million multiplied by one million of galaxies, and there are a million multiplied by one million of planets and stars in the most of these galaxies; all these galaxies are interrelated with each other by the forces of gravitation, and they are moving in closed paths, as this universe is built in a fantastic way, and its basis is the kinetic balance.

﴾ And We have made the heaven a roof, safe and well guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs (i.e. sun, moon, winds, clouds, etc.)(32) ﴿

[Al-Anbiyaa]

The word "declination" has two meanings at the same time:

Dear Brother, one of the verses that refers to this meaning is the Words of Allah, Almighty:

﴾ Allah is He Who sustains and supports the heavens (their contents) and keeps them from going out of order losing balance or scattering and vanishing Should they be thrown about in disorder (41) ﴿

[Fater]

Be patient for a little, these verses indicate the greatness of Allah, Almighty.

﴾ Verily! Allah grasps the heavens and the earth lest they move away from their places, and if they were to move away from their places, there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Truly, He is Ever Most Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving. (41) ﴿

[Fater]

The declination is the deviation, it means that any planet has a path, so what happens if the planet has come out of its path? What happens if it has deviated from its track? The closest example is the Earth, what happens if the Earth has come out of its path through its cycle around the sun?
When Earth moves away from its path, it moves away from the source of energy and heat, Earth would be a frozen icy planet where there is no life because the temperature of the face which is not opposite to the sun descends till two hundred and seventy below zero, if Earth was fixed without revolving, and life would be non-existent.
On the other hand, if the Earth has stopped, part of the face which is opposite to the sun would become three hundred and thirty degrees, whereas on the other side, the temperature would become two hundred and seventy degrees below zero, and life would be over.
If the Earth has diverged from its path and started away in the outer space, as it has been deprived of the sunlight, energy, and warm, it would become a frozen planet too; the movement of atoms vanishes with the absolute zero, and with the vanishment of atom's movement the Earth ends. The most wonderful thing in this verse is that the word "declination" has given two meanings at the same time, if that the Earth has deviated from its route, it would be ceased to exist and vanish.

Earth’s movement around the sun indicates the greatness of Allah:

Allah, The Greatest, says:

[Fater]

To make the idea more understandable: If the Earth has come out of its path, and we want to bring it back, of course all these are supposal talk, but the purpose is to know what is the meaning of the linkage of Earth with sun.
We need to a million multiplied by one million steel ropes. The stronger element in the universe is the braided steel, so all people who make the elevators and the telpherages use the braided steel ropes because this element is the stronger.
If we have wanted to bring the Earth back to its path around the sun, we would need one million multiplied by one million steel rope, and the diameter of every steel rope is five meters, what is meant by a steel rope which its diameter is five meters? It means that this rope resists two million tons of tension forces.
In short, the Earth is linked with sun by a gravitation force which equals one million multiplied by one million multiplied by two million tons; and that is the meaning of the Words of Allah, The Greatest:

[Fater]

if that the Earth has deviated from its route, it would be ceased to exist and vanish. The Earth is linked by a gravitation force which equals two millions multiplied by one million multiplied by one million tons; all of these forces in order to remove the Earth from a straight path about three mm per second; a closed path consists around the sun from three mm per second throughout the year; this is the movement of the Earth around the sun.

[Fater]

Yes, Allah is Merciful with the ignorance and the perversion of His worshipers.

The path of Earth is elliptic:

There is another thing, O brother that I have told you earlier, but I have to mention it right now. The path of Earth in its cycle around the sun is elliptic; oval, and oval shape his two diameters: Minimum and maximum; so if the earth was in the minimum diameter, it increases its speed to emerge from this excessive speed an extra centrifugal force that equals the small distance where the gravitation force of the sun increases; it's a precise balance, as in the place of the lower diameter, the speed increases.
But in the area of the maximum diameter, the speed decelerates; if the speed has increased, the Earth would left the gravitation of the sun, so the more the speed has slowed down, the gravitation increased; and the more the speed has increased, the gravitation decreased; so in the smaller diameter, the speed increases, and in the greater diameter, the speed decreases, and from this increase and decrease a disparity in the speed of the earth arises.
But if this disparity was violent, or if the acceleration was high, everything on the Earth would fall down.
The meaning that the acceleration is high as if we say: This car starts from zero to a hundred in three seconds, the acceleration is very high; if it has started from zero to one hundred in twenty seconds, the acceleration is less. If the acceleration was too high, everything on Earth would be demolished. Allah is gracious with His worshipers, as the speed increases gradually and falls gradually; from this slow rise and slow decline, everything on the Earth escape danger. That is the meaning of the Words of Allah, The Greatest:

The sky is built.

Allah holds the sky not to fall on the Earth:

Allah, Glory be to Him, says in another verse:

﴾ See you not that Allah has subjected to you (mankind) all that is on the earth, and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command? He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except by His Leave. Verily, Allah is, for mankind, full of Kindness, Most Merciful. (65) ﴿

[Al-Hajj]

If a planet has been gravitated to another planet then they collided, the life on both of them would be over; Allah, Glory be to Him, holds the sky in order not to fall on the Earth.
Before years and years, scientists have monitored a comet which was coming towards the Earth, they have thought that it would collide with it, and they have thought that this is the Day of Resurrection; but the comet has changed its direction before a long distance. If Allah, Almighty, has allowed in any moment for a planet to collide with another, the life would be over, so Allah, Glory be to Him, says:

﴾ He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except by His Leave. Verily, Allah is, for mankind, full of Kindness, Most Merciful. (65) ﴿

[Al-Hajj]

And in a third verse:

﴾ And We have made the heaven a roof, safe and well guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs (i.e. sun, moon, winds, clouds, etc.). (32) ﴿

[Al-Anbiyaa]

Let's have a look at the phenomenon which is taking place in the world today, for example, the flooding that has displaced two hundred and fifty million human beings in China and made them homeless, which has finished the oil wells as a whole, which has damaged the crops as a whole, and which has made China to live in a horrible disaster; the reason behind all what have been mentioned is the height of temperatures on the Earth, and this increase is the result of the rarefaction of the ozone layer, which is the saved ceiling for the Earth, and the reason that when human learnt, he didn't make his religion and his knowledge equivalent so he changed the creation of Allah, Almighty.
Allah, The Greatest, says:

﴾ and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah." (119) ﴿

[Al-Nisaa]

The end of knowledge is the return to the divine plan:

There are gases, which result from some industries, have affected the ozone layer which is surrounding the Earth, whose serious task is to preserve the Earth from the arrival of the harmful part of the sun rays to it, and that is the meaning of the Words of Allah, The Greatest:

﴾ And We have made the heaven a roof, safe and well guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs (i.e. sun, moon, winds, clouds, etc.). (32) ﴿

[Al-Anbiyaa]

It's preserved from all things that harm the human, so when this layer has loosened, the temperature increased, and the snow at the poles has melted, and this incident has reflected on Earth's climate; so the climate in which the Earth is passing through is unnatural; we didn't try a high temperature that may reach to seventy-one degrees under the sun in Damascus, and we didn't try that the temperature reaches to fifty-one degrees in the shade.
We didn't expect that the temperature in the Arabian Gulf may reach to eighty-four degrees under the sun, and fifty-one degrees in the shade; it's an unnatural situation, and this situation is resulting from the change of the creation of Allah, Almighty.
The environmental problem occupies the first place in the whole world, as the human has invented and fabricated, but the invention was a curse for him, and now the human is on the way back to the origin of the divine plan.

I have heard that the developed countries, according to the modern concept, buy fruit that does not be manured with chemical fertilizers, and fruit which does not be sprayed with chemical pesticides; for ten times the price of fruit which has been manured and its epidemics have been controlled with chemical medicines, in order not to change the structure of this fruit, the thing which is reflected in our bodies as a malignant tumors.
So the case must go back to the origin of the divine plan, the basic principle is that Allah has made the fertilizer is natural and the controlling is vital, and this is the aspiration of the world in the future, the end of progress, the end of knowledge is to return to the divine plan in the germination and fertilizing of plants, and the controlling of vegetarian insects and diseases.

The rationing of Allah is a chastisement rationing:

Dear brother, the holy verse says:

There is a close relationship between the Words of Allah, The Greatest, in the previous verse, and the continuation of it:

For a divine wisdom, Allah has made the human's livelihood is by the rain; as the rain itself is a sign of Allah which proves His greatness. From where did the seas come? I have heard about a giant observatory in Europe, which uses ultraviolet light to detect the stars; this observatory discovered a cosmic cloud, this cloud, which is one of thousands of clouds, can fill all the seas sixty times in one day with fresh water; so you can answer everyone who says that the livelihood is restricted and there is a crisis of water and livelihood in the world that:

﴾ Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.(58) ﴿

[Al-Zariyat]

When our Lord rations, He rations a chastisement rationing not a disability rationing:

﴾ And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His slaves, they would surely rebel in the earth, but He sends down by measure as He wills. Verily! He is in respect of His slaves, the Well-Aware, the All-Seer (of things that benefit them). (27) ﴿

[Al-Shura]

The universe is one of the signs of Allah’s Greatness:

The talk about the sky and how it is a building is very precise building.
The sky is a building completely.
Once, I have mentioned that if a man has wanted to reach to the nearest flamed star from the Earth, there are extinguished planets around us as the Moon and Mars, but scientists said that the distance between us and the nearest flamed star is four light-years. By a very simple calculations, the light travels three hundred thousand kilometers in a second multiplied by sixty in a minute, multiplied by sixty in an hour, multiplied by twenty-four in a day, multiplied by three hundred and sixty-five in a year, and finally multiplied by four years; this number is easy for you to calculate, and you can try to calculate it this evening. Initially leave zeros, then count three hundreds multiplied by sixty, multiplied by six, multiplied by six, multiplied by twenty-four, and multiplied by three hundreds and sixty-five then add the deleted zeros; the resulting number is the distance between us and that flamed star measured by kilometers.

In order to simplify the fact, we assume that I have ridden in my car and headed to that star at speeds of one hundred kilometers per hour, then we divide this figure, which is the dimension of the star from Earth over one hundred, the resulting figure is the number of hours; then we divide the resulting figure over twenty-four, and the resulting figure is the number of days; and we divide it over three hundreds and sixty-five, and the last resulting figure is the number of years.
You need to fifty million years to reach to the nearest flamed star, and the more accurate number is almost forty-eight years, and it is very easy to calculate, four light-years is the resulting number of three hundred thousand multiplied by sixty, multiplied by sixty, multiplied by twenty-four, and multiplied by three hundred and sixty-five, this figure is dividend over one hundred and the result is the number of hours, which is dividend over twenty-four to give the number of days, and it's dividend over three hundred and sixty-five to give the number of years. The resulting number is almost fifty million years.

Now, be precise, Pole star is about four thousand light-years away from Earth, and the small galaxy "Andromeda" is about a million light-years away from Earth. Before five or six years scientists have revealed that farthest galaxy is about twenty-four thousand million light-years away from Earth. It has been mentioned in a Global News Station a year and half ago that they have sent an observatory on a spacecraft to Jupiter, which has monitored the farthest galaxy till now, and the distance is very simple figure: Three hundred thousand billion light-years!! You must memorize this number precisely because it is striking. We need fifty million years to reach to star that is four light-years away from us, so what can you say if the star was three hundred thousand billion light-years away?!!

Fear of Allah is confined to those who have knowledge:

Allah, The Greatest, says:

﴾ So I swear by Mawaqi (setting or the mansions, etc.) of the stars (they traverse). (75) And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know. (76) ﴿

[Al-Waqiah]

If you have known:

﴾ It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving. (28) ﴿

[Fater]

The word

﴾ only ﴿

means that: those who have knowledge alone and no one but them fear Allah,

﴾ only ﴿

the fear of Allah is confined to those who have knowledge, as a whole. One of the greatest physicists says: "Everyone does not see over the universe a force that is the strongest, well-knowing that is the most knowledgeable, Merciful that is the most of mercy, and Wise that is the wisest; is alive human in his body and form, but he is dead in his mind, in his self, and in his nature which he has denied it".

Knowing Allah raises us; else we will be as the animal:

Dear brother, I swear by Allah, who is no god but Him that the person who does not know Allah is completely like animal.

﴾ The likeness of those who were entrusted with the (obligation of the) Taurat (Torah) (i.e. to obey its commandments and to practise its legal laws), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of a donkey who carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them). How bad is the example (or the likeness) of people who deny the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah. And Allah guides not the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers, etc.). (5) ﴿

[Al-Jumu'ah]

It's the truth:

﴾ Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle; nay, they are even farther astray from the Path. (i.e. even worst than cattle). (44) ﴿

[Al-Furqan]

Also Allah, Almighty says:

﴾ (They are) dead, lifeless, and they know not when they will be raised up. (21) ﴿

[Al-Nahl]

We must know Allah, because the knowledge of Allah is reason of our existing, the knowledge of transcends us, the knowledge of Allah makes us happy, the knowledge of Allah achieves the goal of our existence, and the knowledge of Allah leads us to paradise, and that is the origin.

When you read the Quran, you find faith in your heart:

All of you see the sun, and its size, precisely, is bigger than the Earth's size a million and three hundred thousand times, that if we put inside the sun one million and three hundred thousand Earth as ours, the sun would contain all of them. The distance between the Earth and the sun is one hundred and fifty-six million kilometers, and light overrides this distance in eight minutes.
There is a little red star its name is "Antares" you find it in "Scorpio". Our Lord says:

﴾ By the heaven, holding the big stars (1) ﴿

[Al-Buruj]

The Earth finalizes its cycle around the sun in twelve months, and in each month the Earth goes through a constellation; and these constellations have names, for example, Libra, Scorpio, in which you find a red star that its name is "Antares", this star accommodates the Earth and the Sun together in addition to the distance between them, how much its size? Only Allah knows. It's Allah, The Lord of the Worlds:

﴾ It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving. (28) ﴿

[Fater]

And then, can you disobey this god?! Can you keep away from Him?! Can you disparage His promise and ignore His threat?! Don't you hope His mercy?! Don't you fear His punishment?! Allah who earns the realm of everything is He who has revealed the Quran to the Prophet, peace be upon Him.
The Quran is the Words of Allah, and when you read these Words which are the speech of the Creator of the universes, the Words of Who has the dominion over all things, the Words of to whom all the affairs return, the Words of Who earns the control of the Heavens and the Earth, the Words of Who earns the creation and the power, the Words of Who does not be asked what to do but all creatures are asked, and the Words of to whom the fate is; you find the tranquility of certainty and the validity of religion in your heart, and also you find the integrity of faith, therefore:

Rain is a sign which indicates Allah’s Greatness:

Allah made four-fifths of the land as sailors and one fifth as a land; He made green coastal areas of the land, and yellow inland areas. O Lord, why did you create these desert lands? Where there is no water, no plant, and intense heat? It's a laboratory.
This desert is a laboratory, the air is very hot in the desert while it is very cold in the cold places; and the cold air is heavy, thick, and its pressure is high, while the hot air is rarefied, and its pressure is low; when there are two regions, one is a low-pressure, and the second is a high pressure, the air moves between them, when it moves it drives the water vapor that is in the air from the seas to the interior; when the water vapor is driven to the interior, it faces cold fronts so the rain comes into being.
By the presence of rain the good things were found, these trees, these plants, these springs, and these copious rivers as, for example, Amazon river which its abundance is three hundred thousand cubic meters per second, where are the springs of this river? Where are its warehouses?
All the residents in Damascus drink from a spring which its abundance during the overflow is thirty-six cubic meters per second, and in the days of springs depletion its abundance is only one cubic meter per second, and all the residences in Damascus drink from this spring. That is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
The rain alone is one of the signs which indicates the greatness of Allah, Almighty.
Someone has said: "The air carries water vapor in every degree; it means that the air in each degree absorbs a particular quantity of water vapor, except for this property, we didn't have rain, as the hot air carries a big amount of steam, and when the hot air faces a cold front it shrinks and be pressed. Allah, The Greatest, says:

﴾ And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water (14) ﴿

[Al-Nabaa]

It rains heavily, and if Allah, Almighty, has given, He would make you amaze.
Once, I read a piece of news that it had rained in "Ras Al Khaimah" in one night nearly two hundred and fifty mm, which is equal in Damascus to the rain amount of all the winter season. Everything for Allah, Almighty, may be a mercy or may be a torment; for example, the wind is grace, but there is a gale wind which takes everything and never keeps anything, as the hurricanes. Another example, the water, you may sink in the water as what happened in China, or you may revive with water, and so everything.

Allah has created everything specifically for humans:

Allah says:

It's a season of fruits, and every day you eat a type or more of it, so, did you think who has made this watermelon? Who has designed it in this size?
The basis of watermelon is one seed, from where did this sweet taste come? From where did this red color come? These diuretic and useful materials?
Who did make its crust very thick and oval-shaped? You see a car carrying ten tons of watermelon and it is put at the bottom as it is at the top, because the oval shape is one of the most forms that resists pressure, because in the oval form the pressure distributes over all the surface of this shape, just like eggs, that if you put a hundred eggs in a basket, the egg which in the bottom does not affected ever.
You eat apples, peaches, and pears, each type from these fruit has a taste, has a shape, has a particular crust, has a color, has components, has a consistency, who did make its consistency, its components, its taste, its shape, and its color in order that human desires it?

﴾ for you﴿

means specifically for you, you may be invited to a feast where you are the guest of honor and all this food were made for you, someone may knock on the door, a visitor, and he may share food with you, but this food did not prepared for the guest, but it is made for the guest of honor, you should have a certain knowledge that everything is created by Allah, Almighty, for you. This is the advantage of the meaning

﴾ for you﴿

﴾ And the cattle He created for you (5) ﴿

[Al-Nahl]

Everything in the universe is exploited for humans:

Allah, The Greatest, says:

﴾ And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat (72) ﴿

[Yaseen]

Let's have some examples about pets, a camel weighs three-ton is led by a child and he doesn't afraid of it; while the father of this child trembles if he has seen a small scorpion, because the scorpion is not a pet, glory be to Allah.
you see a nice bird and wish if you can hug, on the other hand, rat has the same form and flow of the bird, but to look at it is an unbearable thing; so who has designed the bird as a favorite animal and the rat as an unpleasant one? Who has made the first is pet and the second is not?
It is said: "A person is like the sheep" if he is a kind and quiet person; but if Allah has put the nature of the hyena in the sheep, who would dare to buy a sheep in order to slaughter it on "The Greater Bairam"?
Because the hyena is a wicked animal, contrary to the sheep:

﴾ And We made them –the cattle– subservient to them in one way or other And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat (72) ﴿

[Yaseen]

And Allah says:

﴾ And the cattle He created for you (5) ﴿

[Al-Nahl]

Follow the word

﴾ for you﴿

in the Quran and you will find that everything which Allah created is exploited for you in order to know Him, to worship Him, and to be happy near Him.

The believer is not subject to any human:

Allah, The Greatest, says:

Fruits are honoring for human being; cherry, apricot, apple, peach, pear, and melon…, watermelon are types, grape are types, and no one knows the number of these types but Allah; all these fruits are designed in order to eat, and know Allah through it:

[Al-Baqarah]

Of course, no one says that there is another god created, but when you are subject to a person, you have made him a rival to Allah.
Notice these words: Once I have mentioned that the person who has obeyed a creature and disobeyed his Creator, he did not say: "Allah is the Greatest" even if his tongue has echoed a thousand times, because, basically, he obeyed the strongest from his point of view, and made it a rival to Allah.
There are people who make the punishment of people like the torment of Allah; for example, if he has been threatened by a strong person, he would disobey Allah, he drinks wine in order to avoid his bad, so he makes the punishment of the strong man like the torment of Allah and he obeyed the most effective according to his point of view.

The person who did not implement Islam in his house in order to please his family and children did not say: "Allah is the Greatest", even if his tongue has echoed a thousand times, because he felt that to satisfy his wife and children is more important than the satisfaction of Allah, Almighty.

The person who deceived the Muslims did not say: "Allah is the Greatest", even if his tongue has echoed a thousand times, because he thought that this ill-gotten money which he gained from deceiving Muslims is more important than the satisfaction of Allah.

Sometimes, the human says a single word reveals that he is ignorant.
For example, if someone has claimed that he studied medicine then he told you: "The more you put salt in the food, your blood pressure will improve and decrease!"; according to his talk you find that he is not a medical student, nor he has any medical culture, even he never achieved the baccalaureate, and he is naked from any culture, because salt raises the blood pressure, and he said to you: "The more you increase salt the pressure decreases!"; it is a full ignorance, so he spoke a word but that word can tell that he is ignorant.

No one can claim the creating of universe but Allah:

If someone has drawn a map of Syria, and he pointed Damascus on the coast, can you call this person a scientist? This is the ultimate mistake, and a big fault.
So, when the human obeys a creature and disobeys the Creator, it is a very big mistake, hence, the word that I always say: When a person earns an ill-gotten wealth, he does not know Allah, if he has known that Allah must hold him the responsibility, and he will pay a high price, he would never disobey Allah, Almighty, and the one who violates the property of sh3er, who violates their honors, who makes the discord between them, the tattler, and the backbiter, all of them did not know Allah, if they had known Him, they would not run over their borders:

No one says that there is a party created the universe, and no one can claim that he created the universe but Allah.
Allah says:

﴾ Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth (4) ﴿

[Al-Sajdah]

What is the meaning of "rival to Allah"? The peer in this verse means that you obey him, you love him, you worship him, you hope him, and you are subjected to him as if he was a god:

Some people in the Islamic World worship each other:

Dear Brother, on the occasion of the Words of Allah, The greatest:

Those who you make rivals to Allah did not create you, they did not bestow upon you, and they do not have a benefit or harm for you; however, you make them equals?! This is a big problem in the Islamic World, people worship each other. Allah, Almighty, says:

﴾ And of mankind are some who take (for worship) sh3er besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe, love Allah more (than anything else). If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is Severe in punishment (165) ﴿

[Al-Baqarah]

That to have a rival to Allah is to love him as you love Allah, to fear him as you fear Allah, and to hope him as you hope Allah.

﴾ They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe, love Allah more (than anything else). If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is Severe in punishment (165) ﴿

[Al-Baqarah]

It means that they tyrannized themselves, when they loved their rivals as the love of Allah.

Allah is the the origin of perfection:

Who should be loved is Allah alone because He is the origin of perfection; He is the origin of grace and tender, and the origin of beauty. Who should be loving is Allah alone.

﴾ If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is Severe in punishment (165) ﴿

And Allah says:

﴾ And when some hurt touches man, he cries to his Lord (Allah Alone), turning to Him in repentance, but when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead sh3er from His Path. Say: "Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!" (8) ﴿

[Al-Zumar]

A person' son has seriously become ill, so his father took him to a doctor, the doctor is inspired, with a grace of Allah, to diagnose and determine the disease, and he is inspired the prescribing of the appropriate remedy, so the child healed, but the father forgot Allah and attributed the healing of his son to the doctor.

You retain a lawyer then Allah has lionized you that He, Almighty, has inspired the lawyer the accurate note, and He inspired the judge to be justice with you, so he was; and then you attribute the success of the case to the lawyer and that judge?!! Therefore, Allah, The Greatest, says:

﴾ But when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead sh3er from His Path. Say: "Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!"(8)﴿

[Al-Zumar]

The hidden polytheism is to make someone as an equal to Allah:

Allah says:

﴾ And when harm touches man, he invokes Us, lying down on his side, or sitting or standing. But when We have removed his harm from him, he passes on his way as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that touched him! Thus it seems fair to the Musrifun that which they used to do. (12) ﴿

[Yunus]

Make this verse as a beacon to guide you, so not to slip into the abyss of polytheism, and your worship frustrates, May Allah forbids:

If a person attributed the situations to his power, or his wisdom, or his knowledge, or to the power of sh3er, and the knowledge of sh3er; hence, he has become a polytheist; so beware that you should not make anyone as a rival with Allah.
This verse, o brother, is from the precise verses which shows that the hidden polytheism is to make anyone as an equal to Allah, and to assume equals who love them as you should love Allah, Almighty.
