(நபியே! அவர்களிடம்) நீர் கூறும்; "அல்லாஹ்வுடைய வேதனை உங்களிடம் வந்து விட்டால், அல்லது (நீங்கள் அஞ்சும்) அந்த (விசாரணைக்) காலம் வந்துவிட்டால் (அதிலிருந்து உங்களைக் காப்பாற்ற) அல்லாஹ்வையன்றி (வேறு யாரையாவது) நீங்கள் உண்மையாளர்களாக இருந்தால் - அழைப்பீர்களா?" என்பதை (நீங்கள் சிந்தித்துப்) பார்த்தீர்களா?

Tafsir of 6:40

The Idolators Call On Allah Alone During Torment and Distress Allah states that He does what He wills with His creatures and none can resist His decision or avert what He decrees for them. He is the One Who has no partners, Who accepts the supplication from whomever He wills. Allah said, قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُكُم إِنْ أَتَكُمْ عَذَابُ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَتَتْكُمْ السَّاعَةُ أَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَدْعُونَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَدِقِينَ (Say: "Tell me if Allah's torment comes upon you, or the Hour comes upon you, would you then call upon any one other than Allah (Reply) if you are truthful!") This means, you -- disbelievers -- will not call other than Allah in this case, because you know that none except He is able to remove the affliction. Allah said, إِن كُنتُمْ صَدِقِينَ (if you are truthful) by taking gods besides Him. بَلْ إِيَّهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِنْ شَآءَ وَتَنسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ (Nay! To Him alone you call, and, if He willed, He would remove that (distress) for which you call upon Him, and you forget at that time whatever partners you joined with Him (in worship)!) for in times of necessity, you only call on Allah and forget your idols and false deities.…
