Ayat 65.
Then they turned to themselves (their first thought and said): "Indeed you
[Ibrahim PBUH (Abraham)] know well that these (idols) speak not!"
Ayat 66. [Ibrahim PBUH (Abraham)]
said: "Do you then worship besides Allah, things that can neither profit you,
nor harm you?
Ayat 67. "Fie upon you, and upon
that which you worship besides Allah! Have you then no sense?"
[Tafseer]
Then were they confounded with
shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not
speak!" Literally, "they were turned down on their heads" which may
suggest a metaphorical somersault, i.e., they recovered from their dawning shame for idolatry and were
prepared to argue it out with the youth Abraham (PBUH). But I think there is a
better authority for the interpretation I have adopted. (Abraham PBUH) said, "Do you then
worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you
harm? "Fie
upon you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah. Have ye no sense?".
As soon as they admitted in so
many words that the idols could not speak, Abraham (PBUH) delivered his final
attack: 'Then why do you worship useless impotent creatures?' After that, there
remains nothing but the argument of violence, which they proceed to exercise,
being the party in power. 'Burn him at the stake' is an easy cry! But it was not
Abraham that suffered: it was his
persecutors.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has said: `I will declare war against him who treats
with hostility a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved thing with which
My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave
keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (voluntary prayers or
doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) until I love him, (so much so
that) I become his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he
sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks; and
if he asks Me something, I will surely give him, and if he seeks My Protection
(refuge), I will surely protect
him".
[Al-Bukhari Book 08, Chapter 76, Hadith #
509]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya' Ayat 67."you worship besides
Allah! Have you then no sense?" This Hadith tell us the
status and distinctive signs of the favoured men of Allah ('Auliya' Allah) The
Noble Qur'an has defined them as: "Those who believed (in the
Oneness of Allah) and used to fear Allah much (by abstaining from evil deeds and
sins and by doing righteous deeds)". (10:63). According to
this definition, every believer who really fears Allah is a favoured of Allah.
It means that except for Faith and piety, favoured of Allah are neither people
of the special kind nor have they any special distinctive signs, as is generally
thought by some people. In this respect, the ignorance of the general public is
shocking because they regard even such persons as favoured of Allah who not only
neglect the religious obligations and the practice of the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH),
but also woefully lack cleanliness. Sometimes they call even mad or half-mad
persons as favourites of Allah, whereas a Wali in the true sense is one who is
meticulous about observing the obligations and is fearful of Allah. Firstly, the love of those whom Allah loves entail the love of Allah, and
hating them entails the hatred of Allah.Secondly, when a
true Muslim acquires nearness and love of Allah by means of performing religious
obligations, supererogatory and voluntary prayers, Allah then becomes his
special helper and protects his limbs and organs and does not let them work for
His disobedience.
