[37].Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks): Ayat 97-101


৯৭. তারা বললঃ এর জন্যে একটি ভিত নির্মাণ কর এবং অতঃপর তাকে আগুনের স্তুপে নিক্ষেপ কর
৯৮. তারপর তারা তার বিরুদ্ধে মহা ষড়যন্ত্র আঁটতে চাইলকিন্তু আমি তাদেরকেই পরাভূত করে দিলাম
৯৯. সে বললঃ আমি আমার পালনকর্তার দিকে চললামতিনি আমাকে পথপ্রদর্শন করবেন
১০০. হে আমার পরওয়ারদেগার! আমাকে এক সপুত্র দান কর
১০১. সুতরাং আমি তাকে এক সহনশীল পুত্রের সুসংবাদ দান করলাম

Ayat 97. They said: "Build for Ibrahim PBUH a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"
Ayat 98. So they plotted a plot against Ibrahim PBUH, but Allah made them the lowest.
Ayat 99. And Ibrahim PBUH said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"
Ayat 100. "My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."
Ayat 101. So Allah gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing child.

Tafseer of Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) Ayat 97. They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!" The argument of Abraham PBUH was so sound that it could not be met by argument. In such cases Evil resorts to violence, or secret plotting. Here there was both violence and secret plotting. The violence consisted in throwing him into a blazing Furnace. But by the mercy of Allah the fire did not harm him (21:69), and so they resorted to plotting. But the plotting, as the next verse (37:98) shows, was a boomerang that recoiled on their own heads. Ayat 98. (This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but Allah made them the ones most humiliated! Cf. 21:71. Their plot against the righteous Abraham PBUH failed. He PBUH migrated from the country (Chaldea, Babylon, and Assyria) and prospered in Syria and Palestine. It was his persecutors that suffered humiliation. Ayat 99. He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me! This was the Hijrah of Abraham. He left his people and his land, because the Truth was dearer to him than the ancestral falsehoods of his people. He trusted himself to Allah, and under Allah's guidance he laid the foundations of great peoples. See n. 2725 to 21:69. Ayat100. "O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!" Ayat 101. So Allah gave him the good news of a child ready to suffer and forbear. This was in the fertile land of Syria and Palestine. The boy thus born was, according to Muslim tradition, the first-born son of Abraham, viz., Ishmael. The name itself is from the root Sami’s, to hear, because Allah had heard Abraham's PBUH prayer (verse 100). Abraham's PBUH age when Ishmael PBUH was born was 86 years. The boy's character was to be Halim, which I have translated "ready to suffer and forbear". This title is also applied to Abraham PBUH (in 9:114 and 11:75). It refers to the patient way in which both father and son cheerfully offered to suffer any self-sacrifice in order to obey the Command of Allah.

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 image001.jpg [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 As-Saffat Ayat 98. So they plotted a plot against Ibrahim PBUH, but Allah made them the lowest” Even in the worst circumstances one should always have faith and trust in Allah.
