➋ { وَ مَا مِنْ اِلٰهٍ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ :} Only Allah Almighty is worthy of worship. In the word {’’ اللّٰهُ ‘‘}, although all the attributes of Allah Almighty are included, because it is the proper noun of the true deity, here, as proof of His being the only deity, five of His attributes are specifically mentioned. The first attribute is {’’ الْوَاحِدُ ‘‘}, meaning everything besides Him is paired, only He is alone. {’’ الْقَهَّارُ ‘‘} is the One of great majesty; no one can stand before His wrath.

[65] That is, my task is only to warn you of your evil end and to make you understand. It is not my job to forcibly bring you to the right path. If you accept what I say, it is for your own benefit, and if you do not, then you will see your own end. And remember that the true deity is only Allah alone, who has full power to punish you.
