Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ addresses their claim that no revelation was sent to any human, refuting this by reminding them of the Book sent to Musa (Moses) as a light and guidance. The verses also highlight how they concealed parts of the Torah and misrepresented its teachings. Furthermore, these verses warn against falsely claiming inspiration and emphasise the consequences for those who invent lies against Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

The passage showcases Ibrāhīm’s steadfastness in monotheism despite the opposition of his people and his firm reliance on Allāh’s guidance.

The verses conclude with Allah affirming that true security and guidance belong to those who believe in His oneness and do not associate partners with Him, elevating the believers in rank through His wisdom and knowledge.
