Surah: 40. Ghafir

Have you not regarded those who dispute the signs of God the Qur’ān how they are turned away? from faith —

those who deny the Book the Qur’ān and that wherewith We have sent Our messengers in the way of the affirmation of God’s Oneness and belief in the Resurrection — and these deniers are the Meccan disbelievers. But they will come to know the punishment for their denials;

when idh has the meaning of idhā with fetters around their necks and chains wa’l-salāsilu a supplement to al-aghlālu ‘fetters’ so that the meaning is that these chains are also around their necks; or it al-salāsilu ‘chains’ is the subject the predicate of which has been omitted in other words the meaning being around their […]

He is the Living; there is no god except Him. So supplicate Him worship Him devoting your religion purely to Him free from any idolatry. Praise be to God the Lord of the Worlds.

Say ‘I have been forbidden to worship those on whom you call those whom you worship besides God since there have come to me clear signs proofs of His Oneness from my Lord; and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the Worlds’.
