وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا ۝ وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا

"And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone. And [mention, O Muhammad], when the slave of Allah stood up calling upon Him, they almost became upon him crowded multitudes."

اور یہ کہ مسجدیں اللہ کے لیے ہیں، تو اللہ کے ساتھ کسی کو نہ پکارو۔ اور جب اللہ کے بندے (نبی) اس کو پکارتے ہوئے کھڑے ہوئے تو وہ قریب تھے کہ اس کے اوپر بھیڑ ہو جائیں۔

Explanation

The entire system of the present world has been formulated with the aim of putting human beings to the test. Therefore reality is revealed here solely to the extent of conveying the divine message. Had there been no human trial to be considered, and had the concealing veils been removed, the people would have seen that, from the angels to the righteous among the jinn, all acknowledge the god-head of God and the whole universe testifies to this.
