Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Command to worship Allah Alone and shun ShirkAllah commands His servants to single Him out alone for worship and that none should be supplicated to along with Him, nor should any partners be associated with Him. As Qatadah said concerning Allah's statement,وَأَنَّ الْمَسَـجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلاَ تَدْعُواْ مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَداً(And the Masjids are for Allah, so invoke not anyone along with Allah.
