78. 2. That is, from all those things which you associate with Allah and worship, I am disassociated. Because changes occur in them; sometimes they rise, sometimes they set, which is evidence that they are created and their Creator is someone else, under whose command they are subservient. When they themselves are created and subservient to someone, how can they have the power to benefit or harm anyone? It is well known that the king of that time, Nimrod, due to a dream and its interpretation by soothsayers, had ordered the killing of newborn boys. Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was also born during those days, so he was kept in a cave to save him from being killed by Nimrod and his agents. There, in the cave, when he gained some awareness and saw the moon and the sun, he expressed these impressions. However, the cave story is not authentic. From the words of the Quran, it appears that Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said these things during a conversation and dialogue with his people. That is why, at the end, addressing the people, he said that he is disassociated from the partners they ascribe, and the purpose of this dialogue was to clarify the true reality of false deities.
