English Translation of Al-Quran
[05] Surah Al-Ma'idah [The Table Spread With Food]
Ayat 76. Say (O Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) to mankind): "How do you worship besides Allah something which has no power either to harm or to benefit you? But it is Allah Who is the All Hearer, All Knower."
Tafseer of Surah Al Ma'idah Ayat 76. Say: "Will ye worship, besides Allah, something which hath no power either to harm or benefit you? But Allah,- He it is that heareth and knoweth all things." only the unrighteous could see the consequences, they would see the terrible Penalty, and that all Power is in Allah's hands, not in those of anyone else. Who are these others who are used as fetishes by the misguided? They may be; (1) creatures of their own imagination, or of their faculties misused; the idea lying behind idols is akin to this, for no intelligent idol-worshipper owns to worshipping stocks and stones; or (2) good leaders whose names have been misused out of perversity to erect them to a position of equality with Allah; or (3) Powers of evil that deliberately mislead. When it comes to the inevitable consequences of blasphemy and the rejection of Allah, the eyes of all are opened and these false and artificial relations dissolve. The idea which was created into a fetish disowns its follower, i.e. is seen to have no reasonable basis in the life of the follower, and the follower is forced to renounce it as false. The good leaders whose names were misused would of course disown the misuse of their names, and the evil ones would take an unholy delight in exposing the facts. The Reality is now irresistible, but alas! at what cost? (Cf. 3:83)
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Salman bin `Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) saying, "When one of you breaks his Saum (fasting), let him break it on dates; if he does not have any, break his fast with water for it is pure.''
[Abu Dawud Hadith # 2355 and At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 658].
