101.  So We gave him tidings of a gentle son. 102.  So when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I am sacrificing thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.

Commentary

It is commanded: We accepted prayer of Abraham (peace be upon him) and gave him good tidings that a boy would be born at his home who would be forbearing and gentle. He was his first son Ishmael (peace be upon them), because he was born due to Abraham’s prayer. After him, Isaac (peace be upon him) was born; for whom he did not pray. But wife of Abraham (peace be upon him) was astonished when she heard good tidings concerning the birth of a son during old age.

It is commanded: When Ishmael reached with Abraham (peace be upon them) the age of exertion, then on a day, Abraham (peace be upon him) caused to hear him his dream and said: O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice you. It is on the record that he (peace be upon him) saw the same in his dream for three continuous nights, then he was sure that it was a Commandment from Allaah Almighty. Then he described to his son and asked: What is your opinion in this matter? Ishmael (peace be upon him) replied at the spot: O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me steadfast when you will sacrifice me, if Allah wills. It is called obedience of Allaah Almighty which was shown by both – father and son (peace be upon them).

97.  They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hot-fire. 98.  They intended to devise a plot against him, but We made them the undermost. 99.  And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me. 100.  My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous son.

Commentary

Bunyaanan  – (a furnace, pyre), this word has been derived from binaa’, which means “a constructed place’.

Jahiim – (burning pile of the fire),

After hearing conversation of Abraham (peace be upon him), entire idolaters began to look blank. They did not have any answer of that clear truth which was spoken by him (peace be upon him). Being abashed; they thought to do wrong and began to say to one another mutually: He has crossed the line. You should give him such severe punishment that in future none may have courage to do so; if you have to save respect of your idols, and the people may understand it well that foes of idols are tormented like him (peace be upon him). Construct an enclosure, arrange for a blazing fire in it and throw him into it!

Allaah Almighty commands: They intended to misbehave with Abraham (peace be upon him), but We made them the most debased. The fire could not harm him and he (peace be upon him) came out from the fire safe and sound.

Abraham (peace be upon him) intended to leave his native land and said: I go to Allaah. He will guide me towards the Right Path. Therefore, he left his Township; and Allaah Almighty led him towards Syria. He inclined towards Allaah Almighty; leaving his home and native land, even everything, and prayed: My Lord, grant me a child from among the righteous who should glorify You always and become leader of righteous people.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ 91  مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ 92  فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ 93  فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ 94  قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ 95  وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 96  

                                       

91.  Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat? 92.  What aileth you that ye speak not? 93.  Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand. 94.  And (his people) came toward him, hastening. 95.  He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve- 96.  When Allah hath created you and what ye make?

Commentary

Yaziffuuna  – (hastening, rushing), origin of this word is zaffun, which means “to walk speedily”. When the people saw their idols broken, they were confused and rushed toward Abraham (peace be upon him).

Tanhituuna – (you carve, you shape by cutting),

Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) intended to explain practically before the people of his folk that their idols were entirely helpless, so when they all went out of their Township for celebrating a Fair, then he turned and entered in their idol-temple. He saw that the idols were decorated in lines, many religious offerings and several kinds of food had been produced before them.

Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) said to them (idols): Speak! Why do you not eat so much delicious foods which are kept before you? Why do you not answer and why do you not speak? Then he picked up a hammer, struck all of them and broke into pieces.

When the people returned from the Fair, they observed their idols broken and were confused. They considered that certainly it was the work of Abraham (peace be upon him). All of them hastened towards him. He (peace be upon him) said: Instead of asking me that who broke them, can you tell me that why do you adore the idols which you carve by your own hands? While you; including your entire useful things and instruments are created by Allaah Almighty, then why do you not worship only Him?

Commentary

Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) has been reproving to his father and the people of his folk: What has happened with you that you have made your adored to the idols of the stone, which have been fabricated by your own hands and you have formed them in accordance with your desire. Can these imaginary and self-made idols be able instead of Allaah Almighty that mankind become admirer of them? It is the utmost limit of stupidity. Can you tell that what did you consider the Lord of the entire Worlds? Do you not fear Him that He shall take severe revenge of this presumption from you and destroy you along with evil of your idols?

Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) caused to understand them many days, but they did not hear attentively. Meanwhile, the days of their Fair Ceremony reached, which they all had to celebrate collectively; out of their Township. Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) took a glance at the stars before them and said: I feel that I have been going to be sick. They considered that he would have known about his future condition from the movements of the stars. When they got ready to attend the Fair ceremony, they compelled to bring Abraham (peace be upon him) along with themselves. When he refused, they all turned their backs on him, and went away for celebrating the Fair ceremony.

Commentary

It is commanded: Noah (peace be upon him) is one of Our believing servants. We saved him and his such children who were believers and good doers. For remaining all disobedient and stubborn people, We sent heavy water storm and drowned them.

After a long time, the people became refractory again. The Prophets (peace be upon them) came from time to time for causing to understand them. Even that the turn of Abraham (peace be upon him) came. He (peace be upon him) also was of the kind of Noah (peace be upon him), that is to say, follower of the same Path, because he too was a Messenger like him, and the Path of the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) from the first to the last; was the same. Therefore, they all are the persons of the same party.

Abraham (peace be upon him) used his God-given sense. He was born among the idolaters. Even then, after observing the Signs of Allaah Almighty, he knew Him, purified his heart from false faiths and ill-manners, and produced himself before his Lord. When he saw his father and the entire folk, adoring the idols, he checked them and said: Your way of practice is entirely wrong. Describe me that what and who these idols are, of whom you worship with reverence? These are idols of stones to which you adore, which have been made by your own hands. Bowing before them is just like staining own honor. Bowing heads before lifeless things, pebbles and stones is not suitable for the mankind. Dignity of the mankind is very greater than such things.
