Lesson
Prophet Hud (peace be upon Him) explained before
His nation everything and every way, and caused to draw their attention towards
the matter that they should keep in view that they were healthy and strong. They
possessed everything in sufficient quantity to fulfill the necessities of their
life. They were of very fine stature and most powerful, even that nothing was
deficient for them.
Can your gods;
that is to say idols; give you existing health and comfort, which have been
made of mud and stones? If someone desires to break them, certainly those will
be broken without any resistance. Listen to Me. These all things (strength,
stature and sound health) have been given to you by Allah Almighty. And in fact
He has actual Power and Omnipotence. If you will name any lifeless thing as
god, that is nothing.
His (peace be
upon Him) nation did not hear His word and said to Him these words: We cannot
worship One Unseen Worshipped leaving the gods of ancestors. If You threaten us
from the wrath then you should go and bring Your wrath. We want to see; what
kind of wrath do You bring.
It is commanded
that Prophet Hud (peace be upon Him)
said to them: Uncountable powers have been doing their work in the world. Great
guns (dust storms) use to blow; water-storms and earthquakes use to come. Accordingly,
a very hard dust storm is coming very soon in the world. It seems from your
refusal that you will undergo that disaster.
I say to you
that your heathenism and obstinacy is a token of this matter that your Lord has
decided to ruin and entangle you in this wrath and torment. There is no end of
this silliness that you make an idol with your own hands and then say: It is
our god who gives us food, health, wealth and property etc. Will these statues
become really as you or your fathers have named them and as you say?
Allah Almighty
has not revealed any such warrant or proof, even then you bring those idols
opposite to God Almighty, fixing their names and worship them. And that, I
prevent you from this foolishness, on the contrary you quarrel with Me {Hud (peace be upon Him)}, patronizing them.
You are unable
to understand that Allah Almighty is the most Powerful and Omnipotent, whereas
these idols of yours are toys of mud and stone. Why do you not understand this
very little and common thing and have gotten ready to suffer the wrath? Certainly
the wrath will come if your condition is not changed. Await it and I await
also, but I am sure that my Lord will save Me (peace be upon Him) from that
wrath.
