116. So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.
117. And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof – then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.
118. And, [O Muhammad], say, “My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful.”

Yusuf Ali

• “Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?”
• Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality: there is no god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honour!
• If anyone invokes, besides Allah, Any other god, he has no authority therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! and verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through!

Quran 23 Verse 115-118 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Mu’minun ayat 115-118, we’ve provided tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi below.

(23:115) Did you imagine that We created you without any purpose, and that you will not be brought back to Us?”

The Arabic word abathan in the text also means “for the sake of sport”. Then the verse will mean: Did you think that We had created you merely for the sake of sport and there was no purpose behind your creation? Therefore you may eat, drink, be merry and enjoy yourself as you please.

(23:116) So, exalted be Allah, the True King! There is no god but He, the Lord of the Great Throne.

Allah is above this that He should create you without any purpose and that you may associate partners with Him with impunity.

(23:117) He who invokes any other god along with Allah ” one for whom he has no evidence” his reckoning is with his Lord alone. Indeed, these unbelievers shall not prosper.

It may also be translated as: The one who invokes any other deity along with Allah, has nothing to support him in this act. That is, he cannot escape accountability. Again, the reference is to those who will attain the success and to those who will be deprived of it.

(23:118) And say, (O Muhammad): “My Lord, forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those that are merciful.”

Compare and contrast this prayer with (verse 109). Here the Prophet (peace be upon him) has been told to make the same prayer as contained in (verse 109), as if to say, You (and your followers) should supplicate Allah with the same prayer so that, if the people scoff at you, they themselves might provide a proof of a strong case against themselves.
