Surah 37. As-Saffat, Ayah 87

Abraham's argument goes thus: "Do you believe in the existence of a Creator and Lord of the universe?" - a question which his people were bound to answer in the affirmative, since belief in a Supreme Deity was an integral part of their religion. The next stage of the argument would be: "How, then, can you worship idols - the work of your own hands - side by side with the idea of a Creator of the universe?"

'Do you not realise that the real Creator is One-above all the forms and superstitions that you associate with Him?'
