هَـٰذَا خَلْقُ ٱللَّهِ فَأَرُونِى مَاذَا خَلَقَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦ ۚ بَلِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿11﴾

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

This is the creation of Allâh. So show Me that which those (whom you worship) besides Him have created. Nay, the Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrongdoers and those who do not believe in the Oneness of Allâh) are in plain error.

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 11) {هٰذَا خَلْقُ اللّٰهِ فَاَرُوْنِيْ مَا ذَا خَلَقَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ … :} That is, this sky raised high without pillars, the mountains embedded in the earth, the animals spread throughout it, the water descending from the sky, and with it every excellent and precious kind of thing produced from the earth—all of this has been created by Allah Almighty. Now show me, what is there that anyone other than Him has created? Clearly, there is not a single thing. So then why do the polytheists worship anyone other than Him? Do they have any evidence? The answer is no; rather, the reality is that the polytheists are wrongdoers, and such wrongdoers who are caught in clear misguidance. In the darkness and obscurity of shirk, they cannot see the straight path, so they are following a path that is clearly wrong and misguided. Allah Almighty has repeatedly mentioned this in the Noble Qur’an as proof of His oneness: that He alone is the Creator, so why should worship be for anyone else? See Surah Al-Baqarah (__XREF_21__, __XREF_22__), Ar-Ra’d (__XREF_16__), An-Nahl (__XREF_17__ to __XREF_21__), Al-Hajj (__XREF_73__, __XREF_74__), Fatir (__XREF_40__), and Al-Ahqaf (__XREF_4__, __XREF_5__).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

11-1. ھٰذَا (this) is a reference to those things created by Allah which were mentioned in the previous verses.

11-2. That is, those whom you worship and call upon for help, what thing have they created in the heavens and the earth? Can you name even one thing? The meaning is that when the Creator of everything is only and only Allah, then He alone is worthy of worship; in the entire universe, there is no being other than Him who deserves to be worshipped or called upon for help.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

11. This is Allah’s creation. So show Me what those besides Him have created. No, the wrongdoers [13] are in clear error.

[13] That is, all that has been mentioned above has been created by Allah. Now, regarding those things you have taken as deities, tell (us), what have they created? Then, if making a non-creator into a deity is not sheer misguidance, then what is it?
