ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِرَٰشًا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿22﴾

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

Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allâh (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).

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.

(Ayah 22) ➊ That is, after creating you and your forefathers, He did not hand you over to any other being for your needs, but Himself arranged everything; He made the earth a bed for you, the sky a roof, then sent down water from the sky and produced various kinds of fruits for your sustenance. When you know all this, it is necessary that you do not associate any kind of partners with Allah, or else leave His earth and live on the land made by your own benefactor or helper, and eat the sustenance created by him under a sky made by him.
➋ The translation of { ”مَآءً“ } as "some water" is due to the tanween, and the translation of { ”اَنْدَادًا“ } as "any kind of partners" is to clarify the meaning of plurality and indefiniteness, that is, do not associate partners with Him in His essence, nor in His attributes, nor in His actions.

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

1. After mentioning the three groups of people in terms of guidance and misguidance, the invitation to the oneness of Allah and His worship is being given to all humans. It is said that when your Creator and the Creator of the universe is Allah, and He alone is the provider of all your needs, then why do you worship others besides Him? Why do you associate others with Him? If you want to be saved from the punishment of Allah, then there is only one way: believe in the oneness of Allah and worship Him alone. Do not knowingly commit shirk.
