Abraham and the one who argued with him about his Lord

Sha'rawi reads the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord as the agent of the argument, with Abraham as its object. He declines to name him, holds that the vagueness is intended so the lesson applies in every age, and answers those who name him. He reports that Abraham moved the argument from giving life and death to the rising of the sun.
