Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(22:76) He knows whatever is open before them as well as that which is hidden from them, *125 and all matters are resented before Him. *126
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*125) The Qur'an employs this sentence to refute the creed of the mushriks in regard to intercession, as if to say, "You imagine that angels, prophets, saints,and the like can intercede with Allah on your behalf and therefore you worship them. You are absolutely wrong, for none of your deities knows what is good for you and what is not: Allah alone hears everything, sees everything and knows everything. Therefore He has not given the right of intercession and recommendation to anyone except when He Himself is pleased to give such permission."
*126) This is to impress upon them that every affair and every matter, big or small, is presented before Allah for a decision. Therefore you should not invoke anyone else than Allah, for all others are utterly helpless and powerless and cannot even fulfil their own desires and needs.
