Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 16:52
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ وَلَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ الدِّينُ وَاصِبًا } أي: الدين والعبادة والذل في جميع الأوقات لله وحده على الخلق أن يخلصوه لله وينصبغوا بعبوديته. { أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ } من أهل الأرض أو أهل السماوات فإنهم لا يملكون لكم ضرا ولا نفعا
