Explanatory Note

He fears that his father may incur God’s anger and thus become a close friend of Satan:

My father! Do not worship Satan, for Satan has indeed rebelled against [God] the Most Merciful. My father! I dread lest a scourge will fall upon you from the Most Merciful, and then you will become one of Satan’s friends. (Verses 44-45)

It is Satan who tempts people to worship idols. This means that whoever worships idols is in the same position as one who worships the devil himself. Satan, it must not be forgotten, is a rebel who disobeys God in every way. Abraham warns his father against incurring God’s displeasure. For if he does, he will become Satan’s friend and follower and so liable to God’s punishment. This shows clearly that when God guides a servant of His to obey Him, that in itself is a blessing, while befriending Satan is a scourge leading to God’s punishment and a position of utter ruin on the Day of Judgement.
