Commentary
In the first part of this beautiful verse the
unity of God (tawhid) is affirmed. In the
second part idolatry (shirk) is denied. In
the third part there is the argument that it
is God, and God alone, upon Whom we
can depend for our very existence and for
our upbringing and comfort. We depend
upon His mercy and grace. Such being
the case there is no one who can validly
claim that he is entitled to be worshiped.
