PROPHET: ABRAHAM - IBRAHIM (عليه السلام)

PART: 7 (Chapter – 6)

THE FALSEHOOD OF IDOL WORSHIP.

And so, Abraham said to them: “Do you consider then, what you are worshiping, you and your forefathers, they are an enemy to me, except the Lord of the worlds.” (26:75-77)

This is a decisive evidence against the falsehood of those worshiped idols, because had they been true gods, they could have harmed Abraham when he disowned them.

“They said: ‘Have you come to us with the Truth, or you are only a jester?” (21:55) They asked him about what he was calling them to, or refuting the practice of their worship or discrediting their fathers for, whether it was all serious or was he just doing it with them as jest?

“He said: ‘But your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who originated them, and I am one of those who bear witness to that.’” (21:56) He answered them that he was serious in his call and that their God is only One God, the Lord of everything and the Creator of every being Who created this universe with no precedent. And so they should worship Him without associating any partner with Him.

I SHALL OUTWIT YOUR IDOLS!

“And by Allah, I shall surely outwit our idols after you have gone away.” (21:57). 

Abraham swore that he would make some plot against their idols when they all have gone for their festival. Whether he said this openly to them or just determined in his mind to do this, both are suggested by exegetes. Ibn Masood said that he told some of them openly.
