=   (Prophet Abraham a.s. then said, "My Lord Rise the sun in the East, and Set it in the West. Could you do it?" Nimrud was amazed and was tongue-tied. But Allah the Al-Mighty will not guide nor give guidance to those who are tyrants and unjust).
 {Once, Prophet Abraham a.s. went into Nimrud's temple and with an axe, he a.s. destroyed all the idols except one, the largest and the biggest. After destroying the idols, he a.s. hang the axe on to the Big Idol. Later he was caught by the soldiers. He a.s. said to Nimrud, "It was that Big Idol which destroyed all those idols.", Nimrud shouted, "Fool! Don't we know that the idols cannot move?". Then Prophet Abraham a.s. began to preach, but Nimrud rejected his a.s. preaching. Their coversations after that were recorded in this verse. Nimrud became angry. He then asked his people to build a big fire and then threw Prophet Abraham a.s. into it. Allah commanded the fire to be cool and to make Prophet Araham a.s. safe. Nimrud could do nothing to the Prophet a.s. He then let the Prophet a.s. go free.}.
