Ayat
69. He (Allah) said: "O
fire! Be you coolness and safety for Ibrahim PBUH (Abraham)!"
Ayat 70. And they wanted to harm
him, but We made them the worst losers.
[Tafseer]
They said, "Burn him and protect your
gods, If ye do (anything at all)!" We said, "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a
means of) safety for Abraham!" The nature of fire, by all the physical laws of
matter, is to be hot. The supremacy of mind over matter is a phrase much used,
but the supremacy of the spiritual over the material is not so commonly
understood. And yet it is the greatest factor in the estimate of Reality. The
material is ephemeral and relative. The spiritual is eternal and absolute.
Through all the fire of persecution and hatred Abraham remained unhurt. The fire
became cool, and a means of safety for Abraham. Can we form any idea of the
place where he passed through the furnace, and the stage in his career at which
this happened? Abraham (PBUH) revolted against this quite early in life,
and his argument is referred to in 6:74-82. They also had idols in their
temples, probably idols representing heavenly bodies and celestial winged
creatures.
Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) said "When (Prophet) Ibrahim PBUH (Abraham) was thrown into the fire, he said:
"Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and, He is the Best Disposer of affairs.''
So did Messenger of Allah Muhammad 
[SAWW](PBUH) when he was told: "A great army of the pagans had gathered against
him, so fear them". But this (warning) only increased him and the Muslims in
Faith and they said: "Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and He is the Best
Disposer of affairs (for us)".
[Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 60, Hadith #
086]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya' Ayat 69."(Allah) said: "O
fire! Be you coolness and safety for Ibrahim PBUH (Abraham)!" Even in the worst circumstances one should
always have faith and trust in Allah.
