The Aya says:

Ask (Oh Muhammad): is there anyone of the ones you partner (with Allah) who initiates the creation then resurrects it?!  Respond: Allah initiates the creation then resurrected it.  So how come you get misdirected?!

 

My personal note:

The Aya continues with matters they agree with him on.  They acknowledge that Allah initiated the creation and rejuvenates it/ revives it.  So, the Aya says how come you know this but still get misdirected or turned around?

The Aya says:

As such, the statement of your nurturing Lord became binding upon those who drifted away.  That they do not attain faith.

 

My personal note:

The Aya is clear about the consequence for those who drift from the path of Allah and chose another path that they may not attain faith.  So, the Aya in a sense tells us to pay attention and not to willingly ignore the truth that is staring us in the face.  The moment that we start moving back to the path then the possibility of attaining faith increases.

kadhālika: As such

So, it is used for someone leaving the path or someone harming the safety of it. This is then understood as when one is out of the right place for them. In the Qur’an, it is used to mean being outside of God’s way.  FASAQOO is an action that is competed.  It means the connection or road were left by the subject (third person plural).

The Aya says:

My personal note:

This Aya sheds the light on the belief system of the pagan Arabs.  They believe in the same Allah as the Christians and Jews and Muslims as the creator and ultimate authority and so on.  However, they worshiped him with other Gods.  So, the Aya addresses them with they belief they shared with the Muslims and then mildly reprimands them that they should pay attention.  Why should they worship other Gods and make them equal to the one that provides them everything really?
