And His word: ( مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ) ("What is the matter with you, how do you judge?"): Do you make him among His servants who obeys Allah equal to him who is disobedient to Him among them, in honorable treatment? He, exalted is His praise, says: Do not make them equal, for they are not equal with Allah; rather, for him who obeys Him is the abiding honor, and for him who is disobedient to Him is the perpetual humiliation.
