Verses 51-58Verses 59-67

      Abraham had developed from before, and was furnished with the knowledge of Monotheism in his early teenages. God was aware of his wide variety of merits, and brought him up under His care and mercy. He was indeed well developed, and far more for his age, and that appeared clearly when the boy argued with his father about the idols that they made, and then sold for worship:ِ

      ``What are these lifeless images to which you are so devouted?''

      This assertion of Abraham consists of a good reasoning too, because nothing can be seen of such false gods, except a senseless image which is all they have.

      What answer the idolaters could have except adhering to their ancestors and their customs which was in fact their culture:ِ

      ``They said:ِ We found our fathers worshipping them.''

      And Abraham's answer to this was:ِ

      ``Verily you and your fathers have all been in a manifest error.''

      There was now a serious conflict betweem the godly boy and his godless father, which may teach us how a righteous man should behave, when there is a contend and variance of opinion, between his parent and his duty to God. Whenever evil stands firmly between a godly man, and his God, he should fight against evil bravely, and if he is subjected to the Fire of Persecution, he should stand firm enough to draw God's Mercy, Who can easily turn our troubles to our comfort.

      In the eyes of Abraham, religion was very serious and important, but in the hands of his people, it was a play-toy or a means of material benefit. His father's business was to make idols, and to sell it for material profit, and for social advantages. How could he then suffer his teenager son, to endanger his rightful commerce, and personal concerns? After all, that noble work was one of their ancestral customs that they had inherited from old. They therefore said to Abraham:ِ

      ``Are you serious in what you say, and have you brought us the truth; or you are only jesting with us?''

      The Godly boy who was indeed serious in his assertions, said to them:ِ

      ``It is a perfect truth that your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and earth. It is He who originated them, and I testify to that.''

      After their hot controversy, Abraham decided to convince them that how futile and helpless their gods could be. So he told them that he would be doing something against their false gods, when they were all absent. This threat was another hint to that, their gods were dependent on their care; and not they on the care and protection of their gods!

      ABRAHAM'S threat aroused little enthusiasm in the group, and they left him to his own devices.

      He created an amazing scenery to make known to his people, how worthless were those stocks and stones that they worshipped for God.... He broke all the small idols into pieces and then put his axe on the shoulder of the biggest of them; as if a fight had taken place among the idols, large and small!

      Then the biggest of the gods, had to tell their worshippers what really had happened!
