Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 7 Al-A'raf, Ayat 70-70
قَالُـوۡۤا اَجِئۡتَنَا لِنَعۡبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَحۡدَهٗ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعۡبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا ۚ فَاۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ
﴿7:70﴾
(7:70) They said: 'Have you come to us that we should worship none other
than Allah and forsake all whom our forefathers were wont to worship?53
Then bring upon us the scourge with which you have threatened us if you are
truthful?'
Notes
53. It is worth noting that the people of 'Ad neither disbelieved in God
nor refused to worship Him. They did not, however, follow, the teachings of
Hud who proclaimed God alone should he worshipped, and that none other may be
associated in servitude to Him.
