Ushbu qisqa parcha Xudoning yagonaligi va Unga sherik keltirishning farqini masala qilib oladi. Ammo u bizni koinot bo'ylab sayohatga olib chiqadi: uning ko'zga ko'rinadigan olami va biz uchun yashirin bo'lgan olami, uning hozirgi va o'tmishi, osmonlari va yeri, bu dunyo va oxirat hayoti bilan birga. Ushbu ulug' jihatlarning ba'zilari haqida faqat eslatilishining o'zidayoq qalblarimiz hayratdan larzaga tushadi. Parchada insonning rizqi, amallari va mukofoti haqida ham so'z boradi. Unda odamlarning qanday guruhlarga birlashtirilishi va keyin ikki alohida tarafga ajratilishi ko'rib chiqiladi. Bularning barchasi tez sur'at va kuchli urg'ulardan iborat ohang bilan bayon etiladi. "De" so'zi qo'shimcha ta'kid uchun takror-takror ishlatilgan. Har bunday ishlatilishdan keyin esa, rad etib bo'lmaydigan va ko'ngilni qamrab oladigan yangi dalil keltiriladi.

This short passage tackles the issue of God’s oneness in contrast to attributing partners to Him. Yet it takes us on a round of the universe, with both its apparent realm and that which is hidden from us, its present and past, heavens and earth, this life and the life to come. Our hearts shudder with awe at the mere mention of some of these majestic aspects. The passage also refers to man’s sustenance, actions and reward. It looks at how people are grouped together and then separated into two distinct parties. All this is delivered in a quick rhythm with strong accompanying beats. The word, say,’ is repeatedly used for added emphasis. After each such usage, a new proof is given which is both irrefutable and overpowering.

“Ayting: ‘Allohdan o‘zga o‘zlaringiz sherik deb o‘ylagan zotlarni chaqiring. Ular osmonlarda ham, yerda ham zarracha miqdorda ixtiyorga ega emaslar, ularning ikkalasida ham hech qanday ulushlari yo‘q va Unga ulardan hech qanday yordamchi ham yo‘q.’” (22-oyat) Oyat jahonning butun mavjudotiga, istisnosiz, taalluqli bo‘lgan bir chaqiriq bilan boshlanadi: “Ayting: ‘Allohdan o‘zga o‘zlaringiz sherik deb o‘ylagan zotlarni chaqiring.” Ularni butun dunyo oldida hozir bo‘lishga chaqiring. Keyin ular aytsin yoki o‘zlaringiz aytinglar: osmonlarda yoki yerda, katta-kichik bo‘lsin, ular biror narsaga egami? “Ular osmonlarda ham, yerda ham zarracha miqdorda ixtiyorga ega emaslar.” (22-oyat) Ular osmonlarda yoki yerda biror narsaga egalik qilishni ham da’vo qila olmaydilar. Biror narsaning egasi unga to‘liq ixtiyorga ega bo‘ladi: xohlaganicha uni qilishi yoki undan voz kechishi mumkin. Unday bo‘lsa, bu ulkan koinotda o‘sha sharikdosh deb da’vo qilinayotgan zotlar nimaga egalik qiladi?

“Say: ‘Call upon those whom you imagine to be partners with God. They do not have even an atom’s weight of authority either in the heavens or the earth, nor have they any share in either, nor does He have any helper from among them.” (Verse 22) The verse begins with a challenge that applies to the entire universe, without exception: “Say: ‘Call upon those whom you imagine to be partners with God.” Call on them to come and stand before all the world. Let them then say, or you can say yourselves, if they own anything in the heavens or on earth, large or small. “They do not have even an atom’s weight of authority either in the heavens or the earth.” (Verse 22) They cannot even claim to own anything in the heavens or the earth. An owner of something has full authority over it: he can do or dispense with it as he likes. What, then, do those alleged deities own in this vast universe?

Ular zarra miqdori ham o'zlarining shaxsiy mulki sifatida ham, unda ulushlari bor narsa sifatida ham egalik qilmaydilar: "Ular ikkisida ham hech qanday ulushga ega emaslar." (22-oyat)

They do not own an atom’s weight either as their own private property or as something in which they have a share: “nor have they any share in either.” (Verse 22)

Bundan tashqari, Alloh ularning hech qanday yordamiga muhtoj emas. U yordamga muhtoj emas: "Va ular orasidan Unga hech bir yordamchi ham yo'q." (22-oyat)

Moreover, God does not seek their help in anything. He is in no need of help: “nor does He have any helper from among them.” (Verse 22)

Ushbu oyat Allohga sherik qilinadigan ma'lum bir turdagi shериклarga ishora qilishi mumkin. Bular arablar Allohning qizlari deb da'vo qilgan farishtalardir; ular bandalar nomidan Alloh huzurida shafoat qila olishadi, deb gumon qilishgan. Ehtimol, ular arablar: "Biz ularga faqat bizni Allohga yaqinlashtirishlari uchun sig'inamiz", deb aytgan sherik-lar orasida bo'lgandir (). Shuning uchun, keyingi oyatda sura ularning shafoat qilish imkoniga ega ekanliklarini inkor etadi va qalbni qo'rquvga to'ldiradigan manzarani chizadi: "Uning huzurida shafoat foydasiz, faqat U ruxsat bergan kishigagina bundan mustasno" (23-oyat). Demak, shafoat Alloh ruxsatiga bog'liqdir.

Bu go'zal va hayratlanarli manzaraning birinchi belgisi edi. Ikkinchi belgi ularga berilgan rizqlarga ishora qiladi. Garchi ular o'zlariga rizq beradigan manbani anglamasalar-da, rizqning ularda mavjudligi Uning yagonaligini isbotlaydi va Uning nimani berishi yoki nimani rad etishi ustidan boshqa hech kimning hokimiyati yo'qligini ko'rsatadi. "Ayting: "Osmondan va yerdan sizlarga kim rizq beradi?" Ayting: "Alloh!" Albatta, biz yoki siz to'g'ri yo'lda yoki ochiq adashishda bo'lamiz!" ({Saba, 24-oyat}) Rizq berish odamlar o'z hayotlarida sodir bo'layotgan paytda biladigan narsadir. U osmondan yomg'ir, issiqlik va yorug'lik shaklida keladi. Bular dastlab Qur'on muxotab qilgan odamlarga ma'lum edi, lekin boshqa shakl va ko'rinishlarda ham keladi, ularni inson vaqt o'tishi bilan kashf etadi. Boshqa rizqlar yerdan o'simliklar, hayvonlar, suv, moylar, metallar va xazinalar shaklida keladi. Ularning ko'pi qadimgi odamlarga ma'lum bo'lgan, ko'pi esa vaqt o'tishi bilan kashf etilmoqda.

That was the first note of this splendid and awe-inspiring scene. The second note refers to the provisions granted to them. Although they are oblivious to the source that gives them their provisions, the fact that they have them proves His oneness and that no one else has any control over what He decides to give or deny. “Say: ‘Who is it that gives you sustenance out of the heavens and the earth?’ Say: it is God; and either we or you are on the right path or have clearly gone astray!’“ (Verse 24) Providing sustenance is something people know about as it happens in their lives. It comes from heaven in the form of rain, heat and light, which were known to the people addressed first by the Qur’ān, but also in other forms and shapes which man discovers at one time or another. Other sustenance comes from the earth in the form of plants, animals, water, oils, metals and treasure. Much of these were known to the people of olden days and much is discovered as time passes on.

"Osmon va yerdan sizga rizq beruvchi kim?" degan savol. Javob kutilmaydi. Aslida Payg'ambarga: "Bu Alloh" deb aytish buyuriladi. Ular bu haqda bahslasha olmaydilar yoki unga zid biror da'vo qila olmaydilar. Payg'ambarga yana buyurilgan narsa shuki, ikki tomonning taqdirini to'liq Xudoga topshirsin. Ulardan biri albatta haq, ikkinchisi esa nohaq; biri to'g'ri yo'lga hidoyat topgan, ikkinchisi esa adashgan.

The question is: “Who is it that gives you sustenance out of the heavens and the earth?” The answer is not awaited. In fact, the Prophet is told to say: “It is God.” They cannot argue about this or make any contrary claim. What the Prophet is also instructed to do is to leave matters entirely to God concerning the fates of both parties. One party is inevitably right and the other wrong; one is guided aright and the other is in error.

Bular ikkalasi ham to'g'ri hidoyat yo'lida ham, adashish yo'lida ham birga bo'la olmaydi:
