173. Or lest ye should say: (It is) only (that) our fathers
ascribed partners to Allah of old and we were (their) seed after them. Will
Thou destroy us on account of that which those who follow falsehood did?
174. And thus We detail the Revelations that haply they may
return.

Commentary
It was described in the previous
verse that (God says): “We made everyone of the Children of Adam testify of
themselves before creating them that I am their Lord”, and now by means of
this Qur’an, they have been being reminded their covenant, so that,
on the Day of Resurrection, they should not bring forward any excuse that
neither any covenant is in their remembrance and nor any Individual reminded
them.
Now this excuse of any human being
will not be acceptable because by means of this verse, everyone is being
reminded clearly about the first covenant made by all souls. There is one more
excuse which can be made by every individual i.e. “Our fathers taught us
plurality with their practices. We were their children, so we could learn only
that which they taught. What is our fault? Nab them if You desire to nab,
because they made the wrong way current. Why should we pay the penalty of their
error?” This verse is explaining the same matter.
It is commanded: We have said
clearly that every human being has made the covenant individually that “We will
accept You (God) only as our Lord. Therefore, excuse of any individual that
“The Plurality was made current by our fore-fathers, we were their followers only”
is not pardonable.
It has been commanded in the verse
after this: We set the same way that We explain the True Words in the verses of
Holy Qur’an, so that every human being should meditate into them,
and if one is going astray, should return towards the Straight Path. It
appeared from this lesson that ascribing plurality by imitating others, is also
punishable as it is committed by oneself, because every individual is
responsible in the matter of religion, that one should inquire at one’s own
without thinking about one’s relatives, members of family, friends, tribe or
nation, and one should believe that “God is my Lord, none is His partner or
co-sharer”.
In Arab, there were two
kinds of people, the People of the Scripture and the polytheists. They both
were not ready to leave the customized religions of their fore-fathers, tribes
and dynasties separately. They were caused to hear this Message that they both
were treacherous and faithless to their word. Every human being should learn
from it that Islam, which teaches, “God is One”, is the actual and natural
religion of the mankind.
