وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.
আর আল্লাহর জন্য রয়েছে সব উত্তম নাম। কাজেই সে নাম ধরেই তাঁকে ডাক। আর তাদেরকে বর্জন কর, যারা তাঁর নামের ব্যাপারে বাঁকা পথে চলে। তারা নিজেদের কৃতকর্মের ফল শীঘ্রই পাবে।
Critical Reasoning/ Contemplation:
فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا
This portion of the Ayah commands to call/ mention Allah by His best names.
Therefore calling Allah as ‘God’ is a sinful act as it shows a negation of Allah’s order.
This is because ‘God’ is not Allah’s name.
‘God’ is a name of an Idol.
Therefore, by calling/ mentioning Allah as ‘God’, a Muslim not only disobeys the order of Allah, Al-Hakeem of this Ayah, he also pronounce the word of Idol, he is actually calling the idol ‘God’, unknowingly or knowingly, which could be a Shirk.
And Allah knows best.
We have discussed this thoroughly in another place.
please refer to this article below to read about it.
Another implication of this phrase could refer to make Dua to Allah by citing His best names.
Therefore, this Ayah give direction about the manner of Dua, as to how to make Dua to Allah, Al-Mujeeb.
And Allah knows best.
May Allah give us beneficial knowledge and understanding of Deen.
Ameen.
