Day 250 · Surah As-Saffat Verses 1-24

As-Saffat 1–24

Oaths are sworn by the obedience of the angels who stand in ranks and drive the clouds to affirm that only Allah deserves to be worshipped, not human-made idols.

Allah is the sole Creator of the heavens, the earth, and all that exists between them, including the place of sunrise.
The nearest heaven is adorned with stars which also protect it from rebellious Satan who tries to ascend.
Human-made idols are far simpler than Allah's creation, yet mankind himself was created from clay.
The polytheists despise revelation, accuse the Messenger of sorcery, and reject belief in resurrection.
With a single blast of the Horn they will see the Day of Judgment, then be gathered with their spouses and their gods and driven into Hell.

Verses 1-24 of Surah As-Saffat explain the following matters:

Allah swears by various conditions of the angels' obedience such as standing in ranks, driving clouds, and conveying revelation to His Messengers. All of this only emphasizes that truly the Lord who deserves to be worshipped is only Allah, not idols.
The reason is very logical, namely because Allah is the Sole Creator of the heavens, the earth, what exists between them, and the place of sunrise. He is also the One who adorns the nearest heaven with stars, at the same time protecting it from every rebellious Satan who tries to ascend.
The polytheists associate partners with Allah, yet the idols they create are very simple compared to Allah's creation. Allah created them from clay. It is very strange that they despise Allah's revelation and even accuse the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) of sorcery and do not believe in resurrection.
The Day of Resurrection will certainly occur. On that day they will be disgraced. With a single blast of the Horn, they will already see the Day of Judgment and the decision whose truth they rejected. At that moment they will be very afraid. Then they will be gathered with their wives and the gods they worshipped while being driven into the Hell of Jahim after being held accountable for all their deeds.
