71. He said: Terror and
wrath from your Lord have already fallen on you. Would ye wrangle with me
over names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which no warrant
from Allah hath been revealed? Then await (the consequence), lo! I (also) am
of those awaiting (it).

Commentary
‘
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.
