Quraanic Exegesis, Dought&clear, - * Commentary on the verse in which Allaah says (interpretationof the meaning): “And most of them believe not in Allaah except that they attribute partners unto Him (i.e. they are Mushrikûn,i.e. polytheists”[Yoosuf 12:106]

Allaah, may He be exalted, says: "And most of them believe not in
Allaah except that they attribute partners unto Him (i.e. they are
Mushrikûn, i.e. polytheists" [Yoosuf 12:106]. What is the meaning of
this verse? What is meant by shirk in this verse?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The scholars, such as Ibn 'Abbaas and others, have explained its
meaning. What it means is that when the polytheists are asked who
created the heavens and earth, and who created them, they say Allaah,
yet despite this they worship idols and statues like al-Laat, al-'Uzza
and others, they seek help from them, and they make vows and offer
sacrifices to them. This belief of theirs isTawheed
al-Ruboobiyyah(belief in oneness of divine Lordship), but it is
invalidated and corrupted by their association of others with Allaah
(shirk) and does not avail them anything. Abu Jahl and his ilk
believed that Allaah was their Creator and Provider, and the Creator
of the heavens and the earth, but this did not avail them anything,
because they associated others with Allaah by worshipping idols and
statues. This is the meaning of the verse according to the scholars.

Quraanic Exegesis, Dought&clear, - * Commentary on the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “But as for those who disbelieve, their Awliyaa’ (supporters and helpers) are Taaghoot (false deities and false leaders), they bring them out from light into darkness” [al-Baqarah 2:257]

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "But as for those who
disbelieve, their Awliyaa' (supporters and helpers) are Taaghoot
(false deities and false leaders), they bring them out from light into
darkness" [al-Baqarah 2:257]. What is meant by light in this verse?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah is the close friend of those who believe, and their support,
help, and guide. He brings them forth from darkness -- the darkness of
shirk, the darkness of sin and of innovation -- to the light of
Tawheed, truth and faith, i.e., by means of His Messengers, and by
means of His Books that He revealed. But the disbelievers of Quraysh
and the disbelievers among the children of Israel and others, their
supporters and helpers are the Taghoot or false deities and false
leaders. The Taghoot are the devils among mankind and the jinn. The
devils among mankind and the jinn are the helpers and supporters of
the disbelievers; they bring them forth from the light of Tawheed to
the darkness of shirk, ignorance, sin and innovation. So what is meant
by light in this verse is: Tawheed, faith and guidance, and darkness
means shirk, sin and innovation. We ask Allaah to keep us safe and
sound. End quote.
