Chieftains
of Noah who disbelieved
Surah Huud (Hud) - 11
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
27. Then the chieftains of his folk, who
disbelieved, said: We see thee but a mortal like us, and we see not that any
follow thee save the most abject among us, at first thought and we behold in
you no excellence over us- nay, we deem you liars.

Commentary
‘Araazi-lunaa – (the most abject among us), this word is
plural of ‘arzala, which has been derived from the word razala.
Razala means “to be from a low caste, to be inferior”. From the same; the
word razaalat has come out. Raziil is the person who is “a mean
fellow, a vagabond, a low caste”. Here it aims: such people who earn by means
of lowly professions, for example; sweepers etc.
It is commanded that the folk of Messenger Noah (peace be upon him) did
not give any importance to His sayings. They said: While you are also a man
like us, then why should we obey your command? Moreover, those people who have
believed in You, they too belong to a low caste. They are not from the people
vested with authority, power or riches. In addition to this, your group has not
shown any prominent work performed by them, from which we consider that you people
are superior to us. It is clear that we deem: You all are liars. You fabricated
a new method for the purpose that you were desirous of acquiring some fame and
honor, but in vain.
It seems that distinction in castes, sects, tribes and nations began from
those people {the folk of Noah (peace be upon him)}, and they were also
founders of idol-worshipping, because they admitted that some of them were
superior, and after them, they made their idols, with the passage of time,
which became their gods.
