َقَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ 1296 النجم
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَى ﴿۴۰﴾ ثُمَّ يُجْزَاهُ الْجَزَاءَ الْأَوْفَى ﴿۴۱﴾ وَأَنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الْمُنْتَهَى ﴿۴۲﴾ وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَى ﴿۴۳﴾
﴾40﴿ Wa anna sa'yahoo sawfa yuraa
﴾41﴿ Summa yujzaahul jazaaa 'al awfaa
﴾42﴿ Wa anna ilaa rabbikal muntahaa
﴾43﴿ Wa annahoo huwa adhaka wa abkaa
﴾40﴿ And indeed, his effort is soon to be seen
﴾41﴿ Again, a good and complete reward is given
﴾42﴿ And indeed, the final return is to your Lord
﴾43﴿ And indeed, He creates laughter and creates weeping
[40,41] From the apparent wording of the verse, it indicates that deeds will be seen in their specific forms, as also mentioned in Surah al-Zalzalah:
"فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ"
"So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it,
And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it."
(Qur’an 99:7–8)
This suggests that actions will be manifested and shown in visible form on the Day of Judgment, allowing each person to see the reality and weight of their deeds clearly.
[42] From this verse, the attributes of Allah, the Most High, are mentioned to establish Tawḥīd (the Oneness of Allah). In this specific verse, one attribute is mentioned — highlighting His unique quality that affirms He alone deserves worship and obedience.
[from 43 to 49] In these verses, nine attributes of Allah the Exalted are mentioned to establish monotheism.
In two of them, opposing concepts are mentioned.
Note: In the attributes where there is no possibility of associating others with Allah (no room for polytheistic thoughts), the pronoun "He" (هو) is not used.
But in the attributes where there could be a misconception of polytheism, the pronoun "He" (هو) is used to emphasize monotheism.
(رَبُّ الشِّعْرَى) — Lord of the Sirius (star): There are two types of Sirius stars. One is called Sirius al-Qabur, which is also referred to as Mirzam al-Jawzaa, Sirius al-Yamaniyyah, and Kalb al-Jabbar.
The second type is Sirius al-Namisa or Sirius al-Shamiyyah.
The first type appears after the month of Gemini during the summer season.
The tribes of Himyar and Khuza'ah began worshiping the first type of Sirius, initiated by Abu Kabshah, who was a distant maternal grandfather of the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace).
Other Arab tribes, except Khuza'ah and Himyar, opposed this and called him a Sabi’ (one who left the religion) and claimed he had invented a new religion.
Because of this, the Quraysh of Makkah also called the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) "Ibn Abi Kabshah", meaning he too had brought a new religion.
They even referred to the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) and his Companions as Sabeans.
The reason for their specific worship of Sirius was that they believed all other stars move across the sky horizontally (in latitude), while Sirius moves vertically (in longitude), and they thought this made it influential on Earth.
But Allah the Exalted refuted them by declaring that the One who influences and governs Sirius is Allah Himself—so Sirius is ruled, not a ruler.
Then why do you worship it as a deity?
