Al-An'am 78: At one time, he saw the sun rising and said; “Is this my Lord?” This is greater than the ones I saw, and brighter.” But when it faded away, he said to his nation; “Oh my nation! All these are things that disappear; I am surely far from the things you associate as partners with Allah.”

Onur In verse 78 of Surah Al-An'am, again just like the other verses: When he saw the sun rising, he said: Is this my Lord? This is bigger and brighter than what I have seen. And when it set: O my people, these things you see are all beings that perish. I am utterly free of what you associate with Allah, he had said.

Yes. Again, while reflecting on his Lord, this time he sees the sun rise. This was bigger than all of them. Then, seeing the sun set too, since the faith within him told him that things that set and vanish cannot be Allah, and since he knew that his Lord was not far from him or unaware, he turned to his people: O my people, these things you see are beings that perish. That is, they are beings created by Allah Almighty. They are creations He brought into being for the order of this universe. Yes. I am utterly free of what you associate with Allah, he said, addressing his people. So Abraham knowing his Lord through proofs that establish the argument is, for every person who uses his reason, a fine example for knowing the oneness of Allah.

He brings an argument. Bringing proof with an argument. A person will bring arguments with his reason anyway. He will bring proof. He will compare. He will not right away agree, as some people say, (?). Even if that person said something wrong, he will evaluate it with his own knowledge. He will ask: Is there a right side to it? Then he will compare it with the verses, not with his reason. When compared by the nafs, since the nafs, like a carpenter's adze, shapes things in its own favor, a person never concedes the other side is right. But when compared with Allah's verses, a person can tell the straight from the crooked.
