وَلَا تَدۡعُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَۖ فَإِن فَعَلۡتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذٗا مِّنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

106. And do not invoke besides Allah that which can neither benefit you nor harm you [272]. For if you do so, then you will surely be among the unjust [273]. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

(106) And do not invoke[543] besides Allāh that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers.'"[544] (Saheen International Translation)

Surah Yunus Ayat 106 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

272. In this verse there is a prohibition in worshipping and not for calling and
seeking assistance because in the next verse there is an order regarding
calling Says Allah Almighty: "And call them after their father. (S33 V5) And
Hazrat lesa (on whom be peace) had asked "Who become my helpers
towards Allah". Although sticks and stones can cause benefit and harm yet
that benefit and harm which is dependent on Divinity is not found in any
creation eg to solve problems personally, listen to the complaints, etc. The
same is being discussed in the next verse
273. Thus the going of the sick patients to the doctors, seeking justice from
the courts by the oppressed, etc. is not done with the intention that they will
remove the difficulties which are God-sent, but with the thought that
through them Allah Almighty will grant you relief from these problems. Just
as the thirsty go to the well for water and the poor go to the rich for
assistance, the sinners seek the abode of the Prophets and Saints to seek
forgiveness through their medium. This is neither polytheism nor infidelity.
