Translation
(62) God is the Creator of all things, He has charge of everything; (63) the keys of the heavens and the earth belong to Him. Those who deny God’s revelations will surely be the losers. (64) Say, ‘Ignorant men! Would you bid me worship someone other than God?’ (65) It has already been revealed to you and to those who have gone before you that if you ascribe any partner to God, all your works will come to nothing, and you will surely be among the losers. (66) Therefore, you should worship God alone and be among the thankful.
Commentary
(a) The existence of the Universe is proof of the existence of its Creator. Similarly, the conduct of the affairs of the universe in a meaningful and systematic manner proves that, at all times, a Supreme Caretaker is watching over it. If one gives serious consideration to these things, one will find in the universe the sign of its Creator and also the sign of its Organizer and Designer.
Under these circumstances, those who worship beings other than God are indulging in an action which has absolutely no value in the present universe, because as the Creator and Organizer is one and the same, worshipping Him alone will be of avail to man. Worshipping anybody other than that Being amounts to calling upon a totally non-existent entity.
