Patience

Indeed messengers before you, Muhammad, weredenied and rejected but theypatiently bore the denial,rejection and harm of their people until Our aid

came to them.

Likewise no messenger came to the previous people

except that the said, He I a sorcerer and/ormadman.

And for each of the prophets We have made anenemy from the idol worshippers

The Simplicity of

the Matter

(They said: "Are you the one who has done thisto our gods, O Ibrahim'' He said: "Nay, thisone, the biggest of them did it...'') referring tothe one he had left alone and had not broken.

(Ask them, if they can speak!) He was hoping thatthey would admit of their own volition that theseidols could not speak and that this idol would not sayanything because it was inanimate.

(64. So they turned to themselves and said: "Verily,you are the wrongdoers.'') (65. Then they turned to

themselves: "Indeed you know well that these speaknot!'') (66. He said: "Do you then worship besidesAllah, things that can neither profit you nor harmyou'') (67. "Fie upon you, and upon that which youworship besides Allah! Have you then no sense'')
