This Ayah ﴿3:79﴾ means, it is not for a person whom Allah has given the Book, knowledge in the Law and prophethood to proclaim to the people, "Worship me instead of Allah,'' meaning, along with Allah. If this is not the right of a Prophet or a Messenger, then indeed, it is not the right of anyone else to issue such a claim.

This criticism refers to the ignorant rabbis, priests and teachers of misguidance, unlike the Messengers and their sincere knowledgeable followers who implement their knowledge; for they only command what Allah commands them, as their honorable Messengers conveyed to them. They also forbid what Allah forbade for them, by the words of His honorable Messengers. The Messengers, may Allah's peace and blessings be on all of them, are the emissaries between Allah and His creation, conveying Allah's Message and Trust. The messengers indeed fulfilled their mission, gave sincere advice to creation and conveyed the truth to them. Allah's statement,

﴿ظˆظژظ„ظژظ€ظƒظگظ† ظƒظڈظˆظ†ظڈظˆط§ظ’ ط±ظژط¨ظ‘ظژظ€ظ†ظگظٹظ‘ظگظٹظ†ظژ ط¨ظگظ…ظژط§ ظƒظڈظ†طھظڈظ…ظ’ طھظڈط¹ظژظ„ظ‘ظگظ…ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظگطھظژظ€ط¨ظژ ظˆظژط¨ظگظ…ظژط§ ظƒظڈظ†طھظڈظ…ظ’ طھظژط¯ظ’ط±ظڈط³ظڈظˆظ†ظژ﴾

(On the contrary (he would say), "Be you Rabbaniyyun, because you are teaching the Book, and you are studying it.'') means, the Messenger recommends the people to be Rabbaniyyun. Ibn `Abbas, Abu Razin and several others said that Rabbaniyyun means, "Wise, learned, and forbearing.'' Ad-Dahhak commented concerning Allah's statement,

﴿ط¨ظگظ…ظژط§ ظƒظڈظ†طھظڈظ…ظ’ طھظڈط¹ظژظ„ظ‘ظگظ…ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظگطھظژظ€ط¨ظژ ظˆظژط¨ظگظ…ظژط§ ظƒظڈظ†طھظڈظ…ظ’ طھظژط¯ظ’ط±ظڈط³ظڈظˆظ†ظژ﴾

(because you are teaching the Book, and you are studying it.) "Whoever learns the Qur'an deserves to become a Faqih (learned).''

﴿ظˆظژط¨ظگظ…ظژط§ ظƒظڈظ†طھظڈظ…ظ’ طھظژط¯ظ’ط±ظڈط³ظڈظˆظ†ظژ﴾

(and you are studying it), preserving its words.

Allah then said,

﴿ظˆظژظ„ط§ظژ ظٹظژط£ظ’ظ…ظڈط±ظژظƒظڈظ…ظ’ ط£ظژظ† طھظژطھظ‘ظژط®ظگط°ظڈظˆط§ظ’ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظژظ„ظژظ€ط¦ظگظƒظژط©ظژ ظˆظژط§ظ„ظ†ظ‘ظژط¨ظگظٹظ‘ظگظٹظ’ظ†ظژ ط£ظژط±ظ’ط¨ظژط§ط¨ظ‹ط§﴾

(Nor would he order you to take angels and Prophets for lords.) The Prophet does not command worshipping other than Allah, whether a sent Messenger or an angel.

﴿ط£ظژظٹظژط£ظ’ظ…ظڈط±ظڈظƒظڈظ… ط¨ظگط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظڈظپظ’ط±ظگ ط¨ظژط¹ظ’ط¯ظژ ط¥ظگط°ظ’ ط£ظژظ†طھظڈظ… ظ…ظ‘ظڈط³ظ’ظ„ظگظ…ظڈظˆظ†ظژ﴾

(Would he order you to disbelieve after you have submitted to Allah's will) meaning, he would not do that, for whoever calls to worshipping other than Allah, will have called to Kufr. The Prophets only call to Iman which commands worshipping Allah Alone without partners. Allah said in other Ayat,

(And ask those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you: "Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Most Gracious (Allah)'') ﴿43:45﴾

Allah said concerning the angels,

﴿ظˆظژظ…ظژظ† ظٹظژظ‚ظڈظ„ظ’ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط¥ظگظ†ظ‘ظگظ‰ ط¥ظگظ„ظژظ€ظ‡ظŒ ظ…ظ‘ظگظ† ط¯ظڈظˆظ†ظگظ‡ظگ ظپظژط°ظ„ظگظƒظژ ظ†ظژط¬ظ’ط²ظگظٹظ‡ظگ ط¬ظژظ‡ظژظ†ظ‘ظژظ…ظژ ظƒظژط°ظژظ„ظگظƒظژ ظ†ظژط¬ظ’ط²ظگظ‰ ط§ظ„ط¸ظ‘ظژظ€ظ„ظگظ…ظگظٹظ†ظژ ﴾

(And if any of them should say: "Verily, I am a god besides Him (Allah),'' such a one We should recompense with Hell. Thus We recompense the wrongdoers.) ﴿21:29﴾.

(81. And (remember) when Allah took the covenant of the Prophets, saying: "Take whatever I gave you from the Book and Hikmah, and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger confirming what is with you; you must, then, believe in him and help him.'' Allah said: "Do you agree (to it) and will you take up Isri'' They said: "We agree.'' He said: "Then bear witness; and I am with you among the witnesses.'') (82. Then whoever turns away after this, they are the rebellious.)
