How Does Disrespect Towards Allah Occur?
That is, the polytheists used to exaggerate the status of their deities, the result of which was that Allah would seem to be nothing in comparison to their deities. On the Day of Resurrection, they will come to know properly that all authority and power belong only to Allah, and their deities are completely powerless. On that day, they will witness with their own eyes the consequences of their disrespect towards Allah's majesty. And the very punishment of Allah, which they used to mock only because they denied the Hereafter, will surround them from all sides.
