(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا نَرَىٰكَإِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَىٰكَ ٱتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِىَ ٱلرَّأْىِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍۭ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَٰذِبِينَ 27
27. Then the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved,
said: We see thee but a mortal like us, and we see not that any follow thee
save the most abject among us, at first thought and we behold in you no
excellence over us- nay, we deem you liars.

Commentary
‘Araazi-lunaa – (the
most abject among us), this word is plural of ‘arzala, which has
been derived from the word razala. Razala means “to be from a
low caste, to be inferior”. From the same; the word razaalat has
come out. Raziil is the person who is “a mean fellow, a
vagabond, a low caste”. Here it aims: such people who earn by means of lowly
professions, for example; sweepers etc.
It is commanded that the folk
of Messenger Noah (peace be upon him) did not give any importance to His
sayings. They said: While you are also a man like us, then why should we obey
your command? Moreover, those people who have believed in You, they too belong
to a low caste. They are not from the people vested with authority, power or
riches. In addition to this, your group has not shown any prominent work
performed by them, from which we consider that you people are superior to us.
It is clear that we deem: You all are liars. You fabricated a new method for
the purpose that you were desirous of acquiring some fame and honor, but in
vain.
It seems that distinction in
castes, sects, tribes and nations began from those people {the folk of Noah
(peace be upon him)}, and they were also founders of idol-worshipping, because
they admitted that some of them were superior, and after them, they made their
idols, with the passage of time, which became their gods.
