Commentary
And when it has been established, as has passed, that He - glorified and exalted is He - has all authority; and that He is characterized by all perfection; free from any defects; it follows that there is no deity other than Him; He said (the Most High) - addressing the head; because that is more impactful in the hearts of the followers; and an indication that no one other than Him truly unifies Him; and it may be that it is a general address to all who can be addressed by it -: "Do not make with Allah"; the One who has all attributes of perfection; "a deity"; and soon the secret of His saying: "another" will come; that it is understood from the companionship; "so that you may sit"; meaning: it will result from that that you sit; meaning: you will become in this world; before the Hereafter; "blamed"; and when blame may be borne by some people with the attainment of hope; He clarified that it is with disappointment; so He said (the Most High): "forsaken"; meaning: not supported in what you intended; without anyone benefiting you with intercession; or otherwise;.
