In the words of my master, my grandfather, may Allah make people benefit from him, who explained what Allah, The Exalted, said (in the Qur’an):

Allah bears witness that none is to be worshipped but He, and the angels and possessors of knowledge (too bear witness), standing firm on Justice; none is to be worshipped but He, The Mighty, The Wise. (3:18)

My grandfather, may Allah be pleased with him, explained.

The deprived person is he who considers the meaning of this verse to be sacred but does not ponder over it. If you have a friend who is far away, and you have a great business together with him, and there comes to you a book from him, and you wish to know the news in it. You must open it and see what is in it and think about it because you wish to know what the news is.

And this Qur’an is a Book from Allah to us through the means of our Prophet, may Allah bless him. So definitely we will understand and ask about its meaning, lest it becomes an argument against us.

And His Word, The Exalted:

Allah bears witness that none is to be worshipped but He. (3:18)

(This is) a Declaration from Allah by Himself that in the whole of existence, there is no creator or provider other than Him. And the angels declared with the Declaration of Allah that none is to be worshipped but He. And possessors of knowledge know the Divine Power (of Allah) that indeed He is The Creator, and The Director and The All-Embracing. So their Declaration is connected to the Declaration of Allah. And everyone, according to the knowledge (they possessed) declared with the Declaration of Allah, and declared the Declaration of monotheism. (This is) the complete Declaration that saves from punishment and brings near to the Presence of Allah, The Glorified and The Exalted. And all believers and all Muslims must take to this Declaration.
