Explanatory Note

Abraham follows this with a declaration to his people that he is intent on doing something to their deities. But he leaves his intent unclear. The sūrah does not mention the reply his people gave, because they relied on their feeling that a man like Abraham could not harm their deities. Hence, they left him and went away.
