Tafsir Ibn Kathir -> Surah At-Taghabun -> Tawhid |
Allah states that He is the One, Whom all creations need and seek, the One other than Whom there is no (true) God. ﴿ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظڈ ظ„ط§ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ظژظ€ظ‡ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ط§ظ‘ظژ ظ‡ظڈظˆظژ ظˆظژط¹ظژظ„ظژظ‰ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظگ ظپظژظ„ظ’ظٹظژطھظژظˆظژظƒظ‘ظژظ„ظگ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظڈط¤ظ’ظ…ظگظ†ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ﴾ (Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa. And in Allah therefore let the believers put their trust.) So, He first informs about Tawhid and its meaning. The implied meaning is to single Him out for deifica- tion, being purely devoted to Him, and relying upon Him, as He said; ﴿ط±ظ‘ظژط¨ظ‘ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظژط´ظ’ط±ظگظ‚ظگ ظˆظژط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظژط؛ظ’ط±ظگط¨ظگ ظ„ط§ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ظژظ€ظ‡ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ط§ظ‘ظژ ظ‡ظڈظˆظژ ظپظژط§طھظ‘ظژط®ظگط°ظ’ظ‡ظڈ ظˆظژظƒظگظٹظ„ط§ظ‹ ﴾ (The Lord of the east and the west; La ilaha illa Huwa.

But if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive, then verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.) (15. Your wealth and your children are only a Fitnah, whereas Allah! With Him is a great reward.) (16. So have Taqwa of Allah as much as you can; listen and obey, and spend in charity; that is better for yourselves. And whosoever is saved from his own greed, then they are the successful ones.) (17. If you lend to Allah a handsome loan, He will double it for you, and will forgive you. And Allah is Shakur, Halim,) (18. All-Knower of the unseen and seen, the Almighty, the All-Wise.)
