    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Anbiya – Verse 66

    "He said, 'Do you then worship beside Allah that which neither profits you and nor hurts you' [97]."

    ✅ [97] Exposing the Futility of Idol Worship

    Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) questioned their senselessness—worshipping idols that cannot benefit or harm them in any way.

    This means their worship is completely useless: these idols do not help, nor can they defend themselves. He highlighted this by saying, in effect: “Observe—I broke them, yet they did not say anything to me!”

    If there were truly any divine power in them, they would have protected themselves or responded. Of course, stones do serve material purposes—like being used in construction or causing injury when thrown. But to regard them as deities is pure irrationality.

    Thus, Hazrat Ibrahim’s logic exposed their blind devotion and the futility of worshipping powerless creations.
