Explanation Of Surah Al Kafiroon (The Disbelievers)

30 Explanation of Lesson One  Explanation of the Maki Surah “The Disbelievers” In the Name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. 1. Say, “O disbelievers, 2. I do not worship what you worship. 3. Nor do you worship the One I worship. 4. I will never worship what you worship, 5. Nor will you ever worship the One I worship. 5. You have your religion, and I have my religion”.

(1-6) Meaning, say to those who choose not to believe openly and clearly that “I do not worship what you worship” meaning one frees from that which they used to worship besides Allah openly and secretly . “Nor do you worship the One I worship” since you do not worship Allah alone. So you worshiping Him along with others is not considered worship. He repeated this phrase so the first one shows that the deed does not exist while the second one shows that it has now become their attribute. For this reason He differentiated between the two groups and separated between them by saying ” You have your religion, and I have my religion” .

Similarly, Allah has said: ”Say, ‘everyone works according to his way” (17:84); I free myself from your actions and you free yourselves from my deeds.
