- Fear is an act of worship that must be devoted solely to Allah.
- Directing fear to anyone other than Allah constitutes shirk, such as dreading that an idol or a tyrant might inflict something hateful upon one.
- The verse warns us against Satan’s schemes.
من قلبه، وكلما ضعُف إيمانه قويَ خوفه منهم.
ما يستفاد من الآية:

٣- التحذير من كيد الشيطان.
