ضَرَبَ لَكُم مَّثَلًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ هَل لَّكُم مِّن مَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُم مِّن شُرَكَاءَ فِي مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ فَأَنتُمْ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ تَخَافُونَهُمْ كَخِيفَتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ كَذَلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
He draws for you an example from yourselves: Do you have among your slaves any partners [who may share] in what We have provided you, so that you are equal in its respect, and you revere them as you revere one another? Thus do We elaborate the signs for people who exercise their reason.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 30:28
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 30:28] Aqa Mahdi Puya says: All forces, physical and spiritual, working and dominating in this universe are like a slave whose power and actions are subordinate to the will of the master. Therefore these forces should not be given a status of the master himself.
Ali Muhammad Fazil Chinoy Commentary
Commentary on Quran 30:28-40
All revealed religions, through their authorized Divine Lights, were in nature Islamic, i.e. resigning to Divine Will and true in their origin having come from the Truth from God, the Almighty, following of which assured salvation. When, however, they were tampered with or misconstrued by adversaries of the Divine Lights, to serve their worldly ends, they had to be amended by subsequent Divine Lights, sent by God alone, demanding their obedience and presaged by Divine Lights of their age, from successors or preceding generations, under Divine Command, hence any obstinacy to submission on the part of the latter, on plea of their faith had identical foundational tenets, proceeding from God is inadmissible and does not admit their claim to salvation, as the following the way of Divine Lights, of latest revealed cults in religion, having over-powered all preceding religious cults guaranteeing immunity from association and leading to salvation, although it is unwelcome to them.
