Quran 21, Al-Anbiya' (The Prophets) ⓘ

21:51And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him,

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِ عَالِمِينَ

21:52When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion?

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا هَذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلُ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُونَ

21:53They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them.

قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا لَهَا عَابِدِينَ

21:54He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error.

قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ

21:55They said: Bringest thou unto us the truth, or art thou some jester?

قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنْتَ مِنَ اللَّاعِبِينَ

21:56He said: Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that.

قَالَ بَلْ رَبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ

21:57And, by Allah, I shall circumvent your idols after ye have gone away and turned your backs.

وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ تُوَلُّوا مُدْبِرِينَ

21:58Then he reduced them to fragments, all save the chief of them, that haply they might have recourse to it.

فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًا لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ

21:59They said: Who hath done this to our gods? Surely it must be some evil-doer.

قَالُوا مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

21:60They said: We heard a youth make mention of them, who is called Abraham.

قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ

21:61They said: Then bring him (hither) before the people's eyes that they may testify.

قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ

21:62They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods, O Abraham?

قَالُوا أَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ

21:63He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak.

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِنْ كَانُوا يَنْطِقُونَ

21:64Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong-doers.

فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

21:65And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not.

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ يَنْطِقُونَ

21:66He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you?

قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ

21:67Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense?

أُفٍّ لَكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

21:68They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.

قَالُوا حَرِّقُوهُ وَانْصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ

21:69We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,

قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ

21:70And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers.

وَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَخْسَرِينَ

21:71And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples.

وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ
