Lesson
‘Aazar –
it is the name of Prophet Abraham’s (peace be upon Him) father, who was an
idolater and his entire nation was also idolaters.
‘asnaam – (idols), it is plural of sanam, which means an idol. Sanam is called to a fixed bodily form
of any imaginary thing. The idols are also called ‘asnaam (sanam), because those are statues of imaginary gods.
‘aalihah – it
is plural of Allah, literal meaning of ‘ilaah. A thing, which touches the heart
deeply, aims “the worshipped”.
Malakuut –
the system of whole world is called Malak.
Little arrangements to this chief are called Malakuut. Everything in the
world has its own governing system and then, this system is subordinate to a
big collective governor. The first system is Malakuut, while the other is Malak.
It was commanded in the previous
verses that you should ask from the infidels: Who guided you to worship the
idols deserting from Allah Almighty? The person, who has a very little wisdom,
will think certainly that neither the idols can profit anyone and nor hurt.
A narration about Prophet Abraham
is being described in this verse that He (peace be upon Him) recognized Allah
Almighty by observing the Tokens in the Universe and contrary to Them, found
the idols quite useless and worthless. He (peace be upon Him) caused to
understand the same to His father also.
It is commanded: See! In what
manner, Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) said to His father the word of
wisdom that: Do you worship these self-made and invented statues and idols,
which are made of mud and stone etc. and determine them your gods and
worshipped? I know that you and your folk are entangled in an open error
manifest. What stupidity would be more than it that you make a statue with your
own hands and then begin to worship it?
Next to above discussion, Allah
Almighty says: When Our Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) gave up the idols,
then did We begin to show Him the secrets and the kingdom of the heavens and
the earth and told Him that every that thing, which will be seen by You, has
its own system and arrangement, and then these all systems have been running
under the control of a Splendid System, which has been established by a
Sole-Controller – Allah Almighty.
