83. 1. That is, such a proof and argument for the oneness of Allah, to which the people of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had no answer. And according to some, it was this statement: (وکیف اخاف ما اشرکتم ولا تخافون انکم اشرکتم باللہ مالم ینزل بہ علیکم سلطنا فای الفریقین احق بالامن) Allah Almighty affirmed this statement of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and said (اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوْٓا اِيْمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ لَهُمُ الْاَمْنُ وَهُمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ) 6. Al-An'am: 82)
