Tafsir — An-Nahl 85

And they worship others besides Allah such as do not have power to grant them any provision from the heavens or the earth nor the ability to do so (73)So do not give examples on behalf of Allah. Truly, Allah knows and you know not (74) Denouncing the Worship of anything besides Allah Allah tells us about the Mushrikin who worship others besides Him, even though He alone is the bountiful Provider, the Creator and Sustainer, without partners or associates, but they still worship idols and make rivals for Him. He says: مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًا مِّنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا (such as do not have power to grant them any provision from the heavens or the earth) meaning, nobody can cause rain to fall, or make plants and trees grow. They cannot do these things for themselves, even if they wanted to. Thus Allah says: فَلَا تَضْرِبُوا لِلَّهِ الْأَمْثَالَ (So do not give examples on behalf of Allah.) meaning, do not set up rivals to Him or describe anything as being like Him. إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (Truly, Allah knows and you know not.) meaning, He knows and bears witness that there is no god but Him, but you are ignorant and associate others in worship with Him.

人们啊！你们不要把那些既无福又无祸的偶像归于真主，真主没有那些你们用来举伴的配主。真主知道那些偶像不具备完美的属性，你们却不知道，故你们以物配主，妄称祂与你们的偶像相似。

人々よ、益することも害することもないこれら偶像を、アッラーに比するものとしてはならない。崇拝において並べるほど、アッラーに比したものはないのだ。アッラーは崇高さと完全さという属性がご自身に備わっていることをご存知だが、あなた方はそれを知らない。そのためにあなた方は多神を犯し、偶像をかれに相似させるのだ。
