14. 1. In this verse, Allah Almighty is commanding His last Prophet, Muhammad Rasulullah ﷺ, to make it clear to all people that my way and the way of the polytheists are different from each other.
14. 2. That is, if you are in doubt about my religion, in which only one Allah is worshipped and this alone is the true religion, not any other, then remember, I will never, under any circumstances, worship those deities whom you worship.
14. 3. That is, life and death are in His hands alone, that is why when He wills, He can destroy you, because the lives of human beings are in His hands.
