وَلَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ ٱلدِّينُ وَاصِبًا ۚ أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ ﴿52﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and (all that is in) the earth and Ad-Dîn Wâsiba is His [(i.e. perpetual sincere obedience to Allâh is obligatory). None has the right to be worshipped but Allâh)]. Will you then fear any other than Allâh?

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

The meaning of (Ayah 52){وَ لَهٗ مَا فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ …:’’ الدِّيْنُ ‘‘} here is obedience, being submissive, and worship. {’’ وَاصِبًا ‘‘} (always) {’’وَصَبَ يَصِبُ {”وَعَدَ يَعِدُ“} wusuban''} as He said: «{ دُحُوْرًا وَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَّاصِبٌ }» [ الصافات : ۹ ] "to drive them away, and for them there is a perpetual punishment." That is, the heavens and the earth are only created by Allah and belong to Him, and obedience and worship are also His eternal right, so then, instead of Allah, the Owner of everything, do you fear others? How ignorant and foolish this is.

The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

52. 1. Only His worship and obedience are perpetual and obligatory. The meaning of "wasib" is permanence. "For them is a punishment everlasting," and its meaning is the same as explained in other places. "So worship Allah, making worship pure for Him alone. Beware! Pure worship is for Him alone."
