سُوْرَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ
Surah Ghafir (40) — Ayah 60
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدْعُونِىٓ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ﴿60﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islâmic Monotheism) and ask Me for anything] I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"

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.
60. 1 In the previous verse, when Allah mentioned the occurrence of the Day of Judgment, now in this verse such guidance is being given, by adopting which a person can attain the blessings of the Hereafter. In this verse, most commentators have taken "dua" to mean worship, i.e., worship only Allah. As in the hadith, dua is also called worship, rather the essence of worship. Some say that by "dua" is meant supplication itself, i.e., asking Allah for benefit and protection from harm, because the legal and real meaning of dua is to ask. Its use in the second sense is metaphorical. Moreover, dua, in its real meaning and according to the aforementioned hadith, is also worship, because calling someone for the fulfillment of needs in a way that transcends means is worship of that being, and worship is not permissible for anyone except Allah.
60. 2 This is the end of those who deny or turn away from the worship of Allah, or associate others with Him in worship.
