آیه: 1

وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا

1. (I Allah swear)¹ by the sun and its forenoon time brightness,

1. Allah (God) swearing by His creation is indirect swearing by His own Holy Self, for He is the Lord of all beings. So, when Allah takes an oath of some of the created things he is drawing our attention to the great importance of the matter he is speaking about, and the importance of what he is swearing by. Allah’s swearing by the creation is simply taking an oath of Himself, His Perfectness, and His own Greatness. Allah mentions some of His created things as evidence of His existence and emphasizes to the readers of the Divine Revelation to ponder over His Signs. While Allah can swear by what He wills, yet for mankind it is unlawful for them to swear by other than Allah (God). It is a great sin to swear by the prophet Muhammad or Jesus Christ or other prophet or angel or righteous person, or the Ka’bah, or someone’s life or honor. The prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "Whoever swears by anything other than Allah is guilty of disbelief or idolatry." He also said: "Do not swear by idols, nor by your fathers."
