Sura 25
Aya 60
60
وَإِذا قيلَ لَهُمُ اسجُدوا لِلرَّحمٰنِ قالوا وَمَا الرَّحمٰنُ أَنَسجُدُ لِما تَأمُرُنا وَزادَهُم نُفورًا ۩

Yusuf Ali

When it is said to them, “Adore ye (God) Most Gracious!”, they say, “And what is (God) Most Gracious? Shall we adore that which thou commandest us?” And it increases their flight (from the Truth).1
  • Those who have no spiritual Light cannot understand this precept about putting all our trust in God. It seems to them foolish. They have no faith, or but a superficial faith. They may possibly pronounce the name of God on their lips, but they cannot understand the full significance of His tide of Raḥmān (Most Gracious). Perhaps they are afraid on account of their sins; perhaps they do not see how unbounded is the mercy of God. Such men are contrasted against the true servants of God, who are described below in 25:63-75.
