Surah Saba Tafseer

The Angels will disown Their Worshippers on the Day of Resurrection

Allah tells,

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِلْمَلَيِكَةِ

And (remember) the Day when He will gather them all together, then He will say to the angels:

Allah tells us that on the Day of Resurrection, He will rebuke the idolators before all of creation. He will ask the angels whom the idolators used to worship, claiming that their idols were in the form of these angels and that they could bring them nearer to Allah.

He will ask the angels:

أَهَوُلَاء إِيَّاكُمْ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ

Was it you that these people used to worship?

meaning, `did you command them to worship you!'

Allah says in Surah Al-Furqan:

أَءَنتُمْ أَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِى هَـوُلَاءِ أَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا السَّبِيلَ

Was it you who misled these My servants or did they (themselves) stray from the (right) path? (25:17)

And He will say to `Isa, peace be upon him:

أَءَنتَ قُلتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِى وَأُمِّىَ إِلَـهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سُبْحَـنَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِى أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِحَقٍّ

Did you say unto men:"Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah,'

He will say:"Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say)." (5:116
