80. His people argued with him. He said: Dispute ye with
me concerning Allah when He hath guided me? I fear not at all that which ye
set up beside Him unless my Lord willeth aught. My Lord includeth all things
in His knowledge. Will ye not then remember?

Commentary
Haaaj-jaHuu –
(argued with Him), its origin is Hujjah, which aims “to argue, to
criticize, to adduce argument”. The word Muhaajjah has also been derived
from it which means “to spoil the argument of others and emphasize one’s own
argument”, result of which is nothing but a dispute. Therefore, aim of this
word is “to criticize or to dispute”.
It is a characteristic of the
human being that he settles a town along with other humankind mutually who are
also alike him, and after a few days, those people of the town establish a
style of living. Slowly and gradually, they become habitual in such a manner
that they think never to leave it. This system of living mutually with one
another is called the customs and the traditions.
Some affairs in the customs and
traditions are right and some are wrong. To correct those wrong customs and
traditions, Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) were sent by Allah Almighty.
They faced hard that the people didn’t want to step back from those customs and
traditions. They considered their wrong customs and traditions as correct, and
rejected the reforms adhered by the Messengers (peace be upon Them) and the
Messengers (peace be upon Them) continued the effort to teach them.
Abraham (peace be upon Him) was
Prophet of Allah Almighty. He (peace be upon Him) observed that
having faith in the liar gods has prevailed among the people and its correction
is incumbent. It was described in the previous verses that He (peace be upon
Him) determined that the idols, the stars, the moon, the sun and all other things
are unable to be God.
Abraham (peace be upon Him)
said to the people that they should give up worship of idols and ascribed
partners of Allah Almighty, and believe in only one God, but they were
accustomed to worship many gods. Therefore, they began to criticize Prophet
Abraham (peace be upon Him) and said: How is it possible?
The dispute among Abraham
(peace be upon Him) and His people has been described in this verse. It is
commanded that His nation didn’t obey Him and began to argue. Abraham (peace be
upon Him) said: You want Me to believe in the liar gods instead
of Allah Almighty like you, How can it be possible?
“Allah Almighty
has guided Me towards the right path of His acquaintance by showing His clear
signs. So, I (peace be upon Him) find everything helpless before Him, then how
can I consider them My God and Creator giving up Allah Almighty? Saying of you
people, “If You will not acknowledge our gods then they will punish You
angrily”. I don’t believe in them. I am sure that they can do nothing against
Me, Neither they can profit Me nor hurt. However, Allah Almighty is Able to do
whatsoever He desires, He is My Lord and He is well Aware of everyone’s
necessities”.
