What is the interpretation of the noble verse: "I did not make them witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation, nor was I to take the misguiding as assistants"?
The interpretation of Allah Almighty's saying: "I did not make them witness the creation of the heavens and the earth or their own creation, nor was I to take the misguiding ones as assistants," revolves around negating the participation of Iblis and his offspring in the creation of the heavens, the earth, and themselves. It also conveys Allah's perfect power and His self-sufficiency from needing any helpers. Some exegetes hold that the pronoun in "I did not make them witness" refers to the polytheists and people in general, and that the verse refutes astrologers, naturalists, soothsayers, and all who believe in other than Allah. Thus, "the misguiding ones" are Iblis, his offspring, and all who followed them.
