Proof of the Divinity of Allah

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

    شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ قَآئِمًۢا بِٱلْقِسْطِ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ 18 

18.  Allah (Himself) is witness that there is no God save Him, and the angels and the men of learning (too are witness), maintaining His creation with justice. There is no God save Him the Almighty, the Wise.

18.  Shahi-dallaahu  ‘anna-Huu  laaa  ‘ilaaha  ‘illaa  Huwa-wal-malaaa-‘ikatu  wa  ‘ulul-‘ilmi  qaaa-‘imam-  bil-qist.  Laaa  ‘ilaaha  ‘illaa  Huwal-‘Aziizul-Hakiim.

Commentary

Shahi-dAllaahu – (Allah is witness), this evidence of Allah Almighty has been using to come regularly in the Heavenly Scriptures. Besides this, every particle of the universe has been testifying that none is worthy of worship save the Lord of the entire worlds. Testimony of Divine’s Scriptures has prestige of written evidence and the entire things of earth and sky (universe) provide reasonable evidence. As though, both types of proofs exist (logical and written).

‘Al-malaaa-‘ikatu  - (the Angles), it means that the Angles (peace be upon them) also testify that none is worthy of worship save Allah Almighty. As though it has been cleared too that the Angels (themselves) (peace be upon them) sing the songs of Oneness of Allah Almighty, who are considered by the Idolater Nations as gods and goddesses.

‘Ulul-‘ilmi  - (the men of learning, the educated, the scholars), ‘ilm means to know and understand. Knowledge is not only the name of learning the letters and reading the books, but it is the name of knowing the facts of things and cognition of the reality. Either it is by meditation or by experiments and observations. Therefore, ‘ulul-‘ilmi means those educated people who have capability to know about the facts and ability to recognize.

In the beginning of this verse, Christians of Syria (Najraan) were addressed, and it was proclaimed in a very well manner about Oneness of God and by proving to be wrong the faith of divinity of the Christ.  Other matters were also discussed at that time which prevent from believing in Oneness of Allah Almighty, for example, wealth, children and the things of luxurious enjoyment. Then attributes of the Believers were described, who remain firm on Right despite all these obstacles. After this, discussion about Oneness has begun again.

What difficulty can be occurred to believe in Oneness while Allah Almighty (Himself) is witness by means of His work (Nature) besides His Scriptures that only He is worthy to be worshiped. Besides this His Angles (peace be upon them) and the men of learning also testify about Oneness of Allah Almighty. Not having belief in Oneness and standing firm on belief in a plurality of Allah is clearly Ignorance.

Allah Almighty has explained by describing His Virtue, “qaaa-‘imam-  bil-qist” (maintaining His creation with justice) that the talk about Expiation by Christians is untrue, because how can it be possible that only one person is settled responsible for the sins of the entire community and he causes to release all of them by being punished alone. On the contrary, Allah Almighty maintains His creation with justice. He will confer complete retaliation of the acts (good or bad) of every individual.
