hath guided me? I fear not at all that which ye set up beside Him unless my

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”.
