Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

None is to be worshipped except AllahAllah tells us that there is none to be worshipped besides Him, the One, the Unique, the Lone, the Self-Sufficient. He tells us that the hearts of the disbelievers deny that and are astonished by that: أَجَعَلَ الاٌّلِهَةَ إِلَـهاً وَحِداً إِنَّ هَـذَا لَشَىْءٌ عُجَابٌ ("Has he made the gods (all) into One God! Verily, this is a curious thing!") (38:5).
