Lesson
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 Allaah Almighty. They faced hard that the people didn’t want to
step back from those customs and traditions. They used to seem 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) carried
on the attempt to teach them.
Abraham (peace be upon Him) was
Prophet of Allaah 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 Allaah Almighty like you, How can it be possible?
“Allaah 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”.
