42:12.
这节经文解除了以上几节经文引起的可能的疑问。就算安拉是独一的, 唯一的, 绝对的, 独立于一切的, 就算他既不生子女, 也不是被生的, 但还可能另有一个像他一样也具有他所具有的一切常德。这节经文排除这个疑虑。经上说, 没有一个与他同样的。人的理性也要求全宇宙只有一个创造者和支配者。宇宙间无处不在的完美秩序导致这一必然的结论, 即全宇宙一定有一个统一的支配规律, 这个规律和设计的一致性和统一性证明并显示了造物主的一致性 (21:23)。因此这一经章连根铲除了种种形式的多神主义的信仰--------相信有两个、三个或更多个创造者, 或相信有同性质的存在与安拉共存。这是 «古兰经» 中所提出的有关最高存在的卓越解说, 其他启示经典甚至丝毫没有涉及到这样的解说的壮丽、崇高和威严。
پہلے توحید ذاتی کا ذکر کیا تھا‘ اب توحید صفاتی کو بیان کیا ہے۔ یاد رکھنا چاہیئے کہ صفات میں شریک ہونے کے یہ معنے نہیں کہ اس کے مشابہ کوئی حرکت انسان سے نہیں ہوتی۔ انسان بھی بصیر اور سمیع ہے اور خداتعالیٰ بھی بصیر اور سمیع ہے۔ پس بظاہر تو یہ ایک اشتراک نظر آتا ہے۔ لیکن خداتعالیٰ بصیر ہے مگر آنکھوں سے نہیں دیکھتا اور خدا سمیع ہے مگر کانوں سے نہیں سنتا۔ وہ اپنی ذات میں بغیر آلات کے دیکھنے والا اور بغیر آلات کے سننے والا ہے۔ پس گو انسان بصیر اور سمیع ہے مگر اس کی صفات میں شریک قرار نہیں پا سکتا۔
42:12.
This verse disposes of a possible doubt to which the previous verses might have given rise. Granted that Allah is One, Alone, Absolute and Independent of all, and granted that He neither begets nor is He begotten, but there might be in existence another being who, like Him, might also be possessing all the attributes He possesses. The verse removes this misgiving. It says that there is none like Allah. Human reason also demands that there should be only One Creator and Controller of the whole universe. The perfect order that pervades and permeates it leads to the inevitable result that one uniform law must govern it, and the unity and uniformity of the law and the design proves and proclaims the Unity of the Maker (21:23). Thus the Surah cuts at the root of all polytheistic beliefs that are to be found in one form or other in other Faiths—belief in two, three or more gods, or the belief that soul and matter coexist with Allah. This is the sublime definition of the Supreme Being as given in the Qur
Commentary:
This verse disposes of a possible doubt that the previous verses might have created: Granted that Allah is One, Alone, Absolute and Independent of all and that He neither begets nor is He begotten, but there might be in existence another being who, like Him, might also possess all the attributes He possesses. The verse effectively removes this misgiving. It says that there is none like Allah. Human reason demands, and the Quran has conceded the reasonableness of this demand, that there should be One Creator and Controller of the whole universe. The perfect order that pervades and permeates it leads to the inevitable result that one uniform law must govern it, and the unity and uniformity of the law and the design proves and proclaims the Unity of its Maker (21:23). Thus the Surah cuts at the root of all polytheistic beliefs that exist in one form or other in other faiths—belief in two, three or more gods, or the belief that soul and matter or any other thing co-exists with Allah.
God, as conceived and held out by Islam, is a personal God and not a mere philosophical conception; One, Alone, Unique, Eternal and Absolute, without beginning or end, Incomparable, above the need of being succeeded by anyone, nor ever having succeeded anyone. This is the sublime definition of the Supreme Being as given in the Quran; and nothing in any other revealed Scripture touches even the fringes of the beauty, sublimity and majesty of this definition.
