(41) بَلْ إِيَّاهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ ما تَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِنْ شاءَ وَ تَنْسَوْنَ ما تُشْرِكُونَ
41. " Rather upon Him you will call, and He removes that for which you supplicated Him, if He pleases, and you forget what you have associated (with Him)."
Commentary :
Natural Disposition, an Even Path toward Theology.
A sincere supplication is the gateway toward security from dangers in this life. (Pagan's invocation has no answer in Hereafter.)
Thus, why do you refer to Allah only at the times of danger when you neglect your imaginary gods, and in ordinary circumstances you do not refere to Allah (1) ? The verse says :
" Rather upon Him you will call, and He removes that for which you supplicated Him, if He pleases, and you forget what you have associated (with Him)."
