Verses 108-109Verses 104-107

      These last verses of the chapter of YUNUS, once again put the stress upon Monotheism and worshipping the only one and true God. The tone of the verses imply that the polytheists expected our prophet to show of himself some flexibility and suppleness, against his ardent faith in Monotheism; giving a little way to idolatries. But Mohammad who had no least amount of doubt in truthfulness of his religion, declared his faith clearly to all the pagans, that, he will never worship anything or anyone other than Allah, such as the idols or the deified persons or personified fetishes and gods:ِ

      ``O, People! If you are in doubt concerning my religion; then know that I worship not those whom you worship apart from Allahِbut I worship Allah the only true one God, and one true God, who causes you to die.''

      The Lord God Whom Mohammad worshipped, is Allah the Everِliving, Allِknowing, in whose hand lays the life and death of all the living creatures. And that he got his warrant for the worship directly from God Himself through inspiration:ِ

      ``I am commanded to be of the believers.''

      This phrase BEING OF THE BELIEVERS also imply that the religion that Mohammad has brought, is not a religion of monks and hermits who renounce the world and its people to live in seclusion for prayer and worship. He was commanded to be of the believers and with the believers, and therefore his religion which is called Islam lays great stress upon social duties.

      Then the next verse, (NO.105) gives a clear logical reason for such a worship of Allah, namely:ِ

      ``And do not pray to anyone for help other than Allah, who will neither profit nor hurt his worshippers.'' In other word; he is not able to do anything good or bad, in favour or against.

      The ending of the verse alludes to the fact that, there is no power

that can intercept Allah's favour or prohibition:ِ

      ``If Allah touches you with a loss there is no one to remove it, except Himself, and if He intends something good for you, no one can repel that.''
