سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ
Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 3
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ۖ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ ۖ مَا مِن شَفِيعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِذْنِهِۦ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿3﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Surely, your Lord is Allâh Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and then rose over (Istawâ ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty), disposing the affair of all things. No intercessor (can plead with Him) except after His Leave. That is Allâh, your Lord; so worship Him (Alone). Then, will you not remember?

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.
3. 1 For its explanation, see the footnote of Surah Al-A'raf, verse 54.
3. 2 That is, after creating the heavens and the earth, He did not leave them unattended; rather, He is managing and administering the entire universe in such a way that there has never been any collision between anything, and everything is engaged in its respective task by His command.
3. 3 The polytheists and disbelievers, who were the original addressees, believed that these idols, whom they worshipped, would intercede for them with Allah and save them from Allah's punishment. Allah Almighty said that there, no one will be allowed to intercede without Allah's permission. And this permission will only be for those whom Allah Almighty will approve.
3. 4 That is, such a God, who is the Creator of the universe, its Administrator and Organizer, and in addition, the sole Owner of all powers, He alone is worthy of being worshipped.
