53:23 They are not but [mere] names you have named them – you and your forefathers – for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.
এগুলো কতগুলো নাম বৈ নয়, যা তোমরা এবং তোমাদের পূর্ব-পুরুষদের রেখেছ। এর সমর্থনে আল্লাহ কোন দলীল নাযিল করেননি।তারা অনুমান এবং প্রবৃত্তিরই অনুসরণ করে। অথচ তাদের কাছে তাদের পালনকর্তার পক্ষ থেকে পথ নির্দেশ এসেছে।
Bismillah! Al Hamdulillah! Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulallah!
Look, how things are connected. In Ayah 53:23 Allah give us an information, which seem not much connected with us, but now read that Ayah again and connect with this Ayah, see it is terrifying SHIRK!
The gist of the Ayah 53:23 was something like this: Whatever idea and thoughts you might come up about Allah, the Almighty, if you do not have an evidence for that then that is from what your heart desires.
Therefore, first you need to check whether the ideas you have about Allah, your creator, did Allah mention about that in the Quran or was their any authentic narrations from Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam? If it is not, then Allah said, it is from your DESIRE. That’s the understanding from Ayah 53:23.
Contemplate further on the word that Allah mentions. Allah mentions “he did not sent from him an AUTHORITY (sultan)”. Means, anything, in regards to Allah’s authority, needs his approval, needs evidence from Him.
Now come to this Ayah we study. Allah mention that DESIRE is actually their ‘ILAHA’, which means worshiping yourself, which is nothing other than a clear SHIRK.
And Allah knows best. May Allah save us from all forms of Shirk.
