ذَٰلِكَ مِمَّآ أَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ ۗ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلْقَىٰ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًۭا مَّدْحُورًا

"That is from what your Lord has revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], of wisdom. And, [O mankind], do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished."

Everything previously mentioned is Revelation and Wisdom

Allah says: `What We have commanded you to do is part of good manners, and what We have forbidden you are evil qualities. We have revealed this to you, O Muhammad, so that you may command the people likewise.'

وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلْقَى فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًا

(And set not up with Allah any other god lest you should be thrown into Hell, blameworthy) meaning, your own self will blame you, as will Allah and His creation.

مَّدْحُورًا

(rejected) means far removed from everything good. Ibn `Abbas and Qatadah said: "(It means) cast out." This is an address to the Ummah via the Messenger , for he is infallible.

Великие заповеди, которые Аллах изложил и разъяснил Своим рабам, являются частью мудрости, которая была внушена Пророку Мухаммаду, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует. Под мудростью подразумевается повеление совершать праведные деяния, придерживаться благородного нрава, избегать скверных поступков и избавляться от порочных качеств. Все деяния, которые упоминаются в предыдущих аятах, представляют собой наивысшую мудрость, которую Господь миров внушил господину посланников, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует. Она была изложена в самом славном Писании для того, чтобы ею увещевали самую прекрасную религиозную общину. Она представляет собой мудрость, которая даруется только тем, кому суждено обрести великое благо. Затем Всевышний Аллах еще раз запретил поклоняться наряду с Ним вымышленным божествам. Именно это предписание открывает и завершает череду божественных заповедей. И если человек нарушает его, то он будет вечно гореть в Адском Пламени, ибо всякий, кто приобщает к Аллаху сотоварищей, лишается возможности попасть в Райские сады и обрекает себя на вечные страдания в Преисподней. Там грешники будут порицаемыми и отверженными. Аллах, ангелы и все человечество будут порицать, осуждать и проклинать их.

Maʿārif al-Qur'ān

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

+

After having described details of the injunctions appearing above, it was said in the last verse: كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُ عِندَ رَ‌بِّكَ مَكْرُ‌وهًا (That which is evil, of all these, is detestable in the sight of your Lord - 38).

As for what has been forbidden in the said injunctions, their repugnance is obvious. But, within these there are some commandments where rights of parents and relatives have been enjoined or fulfillment of promises has been made mandatory. Here too, the purpose is to avoid doing the opposite of it, like hurting parents, breaking off from relatives and going back on solemn promises. Since all these things are haram or reprehensible, therefore, it has been called 'makruh' in a general sense of 'detestable' which includes the haram and makruh both. (Bayan al-Qur an)

Note

The injunctions described in the fifteen verses cited above are, in a way, the explanation of the effort acceptable in the sight of Allah mentioned in: وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعْيَهَا (and makes effort for it as due - 19). There it was said that not every effort is acceptable with Allah. Instead, the effort made in accordance with the Sunnah and teaching of the Holy Prophet ﷺ is the only one acceptable with Him. Main divisions of such acceptable effort have been mentioned in these injunctions which take up the rights of Allah first and then the rights of the servants of Allah.

A gist of Torah in fifteen verses

Sayyidna ` Abdullah ibn ` Abbas ؓ said that the commandments of the entire Torah have been reduced to fifteen verses of Surah Bani Isra'il. (Mazhari)
