Following the story of Moses in his Pass Over, and drowning Pharaoh and his host, the immediate reference goes back to a part of the adventures of ABRAHAM, another Arch prophet of God:ِ

      ``And rehearse to them the story of Abraham; when he said to his father, and to his people:ِ ``What do you worship?'' And they immediately answered:ِ ``We worship the idols as a daily routine, and always attend them.''

      They said so, as if they were proud of doing such that useless and foolish act! But Abraham then a youth in his teenages, kept them under a shower of questions or better to say objections!:ِ

      ``Do they hear you when you call them? Or can they be of any profit, or even of any harm to you?''

      Of course, there was not any sign of the least amount of intelligence and understanding in their false gods which were only pieces of carved stones!

      The idolaters who could find no reason for their ridiculous worship, said:ِ

      ``We found our fathers doing that!''

      This was a sign of their blind and dark imitation.

      At the beginning, Abraham revealed his ideas about the idolatary and false worship, in the form of a gentle and reasonable dialogue. He patiently argued with his father and his people about God's truth, then he tried to convince his people that the idols are not a worthy object of worship, who can neither hear nor answer a call. But his people obstinately rejected him, and threatened him of punishments like to death with stone!

      Therefore, in the next step he bravely attacked idolatry; and all the false deities were declared, by the lad who would be the Shaikh of the Prophets in future, as the enemies of him, and all the Mankind:ِ

      ``He said:ِ ``Have you seen what you have been worshipping so far.... You and your fathers of old?....All of them are my enemies, except the Lord of all the worlds.''

      Why should man worship and serve something or someone who has no power to do anything bad or good? A god who can neither profit nor harm, whose worship lowers the dignity of man, and becomes a cause of making mischief and going astray. Such a worship may only end in cutting off Man's spiritual relation with truth, and his Merciful God, who takes care of all of us; Who may forgive us our sins and cleanse the mirror of our heart from the rusts of falsehood. Who has created us and guides us. Who feeds us and furnishes us with drink. Who will make us to die, and then raises us to life. Who cures the sick.... These were the objections of Abraham, when he addressed his father and folk.

      Some commentators have understood ``AZAR'' to have been Abraham's uncle and not his real father.
