وَكَيْفَ أَخَافُ مَآ أَشْرَكْتُمْ وَلَا تَخَافُونَ أَنَّكُمْ أَشْرَكْتُم بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَٰنًا فَأَىُّ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِٱلْأَمْنِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ 81
81. How
should I fear that which ye set up beside Him, when ye fear not to set up
beside Allah that for which
He hath revealed unto you no warrant? Which of the two factions hath more
right to safety? (Answer me that) if ye have knowledge.

Commentary
Sultaanaa – (warrant), sultaan means
overcoming power and authority. He is brave and powerful, who has strong proof
or sway to say something. Therefore, it is translated as warrant or authority.
It also means permission, jurisdiction and ruling, because all of them provide
bravery and power.
In
the previous verse, the situation was discussed in which Abraham (peace be upon
Him) replied the idolaters (who used to frighten Him from the punishment of
their gods): The fear should be only from that, which has some power. Your gods
are lifeless, while they don’t have even life, then what is the mention of
power?
Prophet
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been
commanded in this verse that He should say to the idolaters: How
should I fear from your base and helpless gods, who don’t have even a little
bit of power, and you know it well that neither can they give you anything, nor
snatch. Then how the sense can permit to fear from lifeless and powerless
things willing or unwilling?
Now
look at yourselves: You do not fear Allah Almighty, whereas He has full Power,
Strength and Authority to punish you, and only He is your Owner and Lord, and
you are unable to go out from His limits for escaping yourselves. He is your
Ruler. You are never permitted by Him to beg from others beside Him (Allah
Almighty), and consider useless things equal to Him, and begin to think falsely
that He needs helpers, and that He can do Alone nothing.
You
try to frighten Me (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) from those
lifeless and powerless things, whom you have ascribed partners of Allah Almighty, whereas I
cause to fear you from the Omnipotent and most Powerful God. Think now! From
whom you say Me to be afraid, are quite powerless, and about Whom I say you to
be frightened, is the Most Powerful.
In
such condition, who from both of us will get satisfaction of the heart and rest
of thought? You claim that you have knowledge and are wise people. If you have
knowledge then tell Me (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Whether
those people will dwell with satisfaction, comfort and peace in the world and
Hereafter who, leaving all, worship and believe in only One God – Allah
Almighty, Who is Omnipotent, or those who fear from many self-fabricated gods?
