Surah Al-A'raf (7:70)

قَالُـوۡۤا اَجِئۡتَنَا لِنَعۡبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَحۡدَهٗ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعۡبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا ۚ فَاۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ۝

Qaloo aji/tana linaAAbuda Allahawahdahu wanathara ma kana yaAAbudu abaonafa/tina bima taAAiduna in kunta mina assadiqeen

They said, "Have you come to us that we should worship Allāh alone and leave what our fathers have worshipped? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful."

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Test of Change: Their refusal to accept the core command of monotheism.

The Insight

They questioned why Hud asked them to abandon their ancestral worship and submit to monotheism. **Challenge inherited Shirk.** Recognize that the greatest spiritual challenge is breaking free from ancestral polytheism and submitting to pure monotheism.
