TAFSIR: NO COMPROMISE!!!

109:1-4 – “Say:

Oh disbelievers! I do not worship that which you worship, Nor do you worship that which I worship. Nor shall I (ever) worship that which you worship.”Agha Mahdi Pouya and Mir Ahmad ‘Ali’s Commentary: 109:1:Some of the leading disbelievers of Makkah had proposed to the Holy Prophet a compromise between Islam and their ancient faith such as they conceived it, so that their idols might also have an honourable mention in the adoration of the worshippers. The Holy Prophet resisted all appeals to worldly motives, and stood firm to his message of eternal unity of God. This surah breathes a spirit of uncompromising abhorrence to idolatry. There can be no common ground between the worship of “the one” and the many- monotheism and polytheism.
