وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لأَبِيهِ آزَرَ أَتَتَّخِذُ أَصْنَامًا آلِهَةً إِنِّي أَرَاكَ وَقَوْمَكَ فِي ضَلاَلٍ مُّبِينٍ (6:74)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:74 (Asad) AND, LO, [thus] spoke Abraham unto his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? Verily, I see that thou and thy people have obviously gone astray!"

وَكَذَلِكَ نُرِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُوقِنِينَ (6:75)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:75 (Asad) And thus We gave Abraham [his first] insight into [God's] mighty dominion over the heavens and the earth - and [this] to the end that he might become one of those who are inwardly sure.

فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلُ رَأَى كَوْكَبًا قَالَ هَـذَا رَبِّي فَلَمَّا أَفَلَ قَالَ لا أُحِبُّ الآفِلِينَ (6:76)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:76 (Asad) Then, when the night overshadowed him with its darkness, he beheld a star;., [and] he exclaimed, "This is my Sustainer!" -but when it went down, he said, "I love not the things that go down."

فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَمَرَ بَازِغًا قَالَ هَـذَا رَبِّي فَلَمَّا أَفَلَ قَالَ لَئِن لَّمْ يَهْدِنِي رَبِّي لأكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الضَّالِّينَ (6:77)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:77 (Asad) Then, when he beheld the moon rising, he said, "This is my Sustainer!"-but when it went down, he said, "Indeed, if my Sustainer guide me not. I will most certainly become one of the people who go astray!"

فَلَمَّا رَأَى الشَّمْسَ بَازِغَةً قَالَ هَـذَا رَبِّي هَـذَآ أَكْبَرُ فَلَمَّا أَفَلَتْ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ (6:78)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:78 (Asad) Then, when he beheld the sun rising, he said, "This is my Sustainer! This one is the greatest [of all]!" - but when it [too] went down, he exclaimed: "O my people! Behold, far be it from me to ascribe divinity, as you do, to aught beside God!

إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَاْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ (6:79)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:79 (Asad) Behold, unto Him who brought into being the heavens and the earth have I turned my face, having turned away from all that is false; and I am not of those who ascribe divinity to aught beside Him."

وَحَآجَّهُ قَوْمُهُ قَالَ أَتُحَاجُّونِّي فِي اللّهِ وَقَدْ هَدَانِ وَلاَ أَخَافُ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ إِلاَّ أَن يَشَاء رَبِّي شَيْئًا وَسِعَ رَبِّي كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا أَفَلاَ تَتَذَكَّرُونَ (6:80)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:80 (Asad) And his people argued with him. He said: "Do you argue with me about God, when it is He who has guided me? But I do not fear anything to which you ascribe divinity side by side with Him, [for no evil can befall me] unless my Sustainer so wills. All things does my Sustainer embrace within His knowledge; will you not, then, keep this in mind?

وَكَيْفَ أَخَافُ مَا أَشْرَكْتُمْ وَلاَ تَخَافُونَ أَنَّكُمْ أَشْرَكْتُم بِاللّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَانًا فَأَيُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِالأَمْنِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ (6:81)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:81 (Asad) And why should I fear anything that you worship side by side with Him, seeing that you are not afraid of ascribing divinity to other powers beside God without His ever having bestowed upon you from on high any warrant therefor? [Tell me,] then, which of the two parties has a better right to feel secure -if you happen to know [the answer]?

الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُواْ إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمُ الأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ (6:82)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:82 (Asad) Those who have attained to faith, and who have not obscured their faith by wrongdoing-it is they who shall be secure, since it is they who have found the right path!"

وَتِلْكَ حُجَّتُنَا آتَيْنَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَّن نَّشَاء إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ (6:83)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

6:83 (Asad) And this was Our argument which We vouchsafed unto Abraham against his people: [for] We do raise by degrees whom We will. Verily, thy Sustainer is wise, all-knowing.

قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنْ آلِهَتِي يَا إِبْراهِيمُ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ وَاهْجُرْنِي مَلِيًّا (19:46)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

19:46 (Asad) He answered: "Dost thou dislike my gods, O Abraham? Indeed, if thou desist not, I shall most certainly cause thee to be stoned to death! Now begone from me for good!"

قَالَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّي إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِي حَفِيًّا (19:47)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

19:47 (Asad) [Abraham] replied: "Peace be upon thee! I shall ask my Sustainer to forgive thee: for, behold, He has always been kind unto me.

وَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَأَدْعُو رَبِّي عَسَى أَلَّا أَكُونَ بِدُعَاء رَبِّي شَقِيًّا (19:48)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

19:48 (Asad) But I shall withdraw from you all and from whatever you invoke instead of God, and shall invoke my Sustainer [alone]: it may well be that my prayer [for thee] will not remain unanswered by my Sustainer."

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا (19:49)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

19:49 (Asad) And after he had withdrawn from them and from all that they were worshipping instead of God, We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob, and made each of them a prophet;

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا (19:50)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

19:50 (Asad) and We bestowed upon them [manifold] gifts out of Our grace, and granted them a lofty power to convey the truth [unto others].

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (26:69)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:69 (Asad) And convey unto them the story of Abraham –

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ (26:70)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:70 (Asad) [how it was] when he asked his father and his people, “What is it that you worship?”

قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ (26:71)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:71 (Asad) They answered: We worship idols, and we remain ever devoted to them.”

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ (26:72)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:72 (Asad) Said he: “Do [you really think that] they hear you when you invoke them,

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ (26:73)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:73 (Asad) or benefit you or do you harm?”

قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءنَا كَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ (26:74)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:74 (Asad) They exclaimed: But we found our forefathers doing the same!”

قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ (26:75)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:75 (Asad) Said [Abraham]: “Have you, then, ever considered what it is that you have been worshipping

أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ (26:76)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:76 (Asad) you and those ancient forebears of yours?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّي إِلَّا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ (26:77)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:77 (Asad) “Now [as for me, I know that,] verily, these [false deities] are my enemies, [and that none is my helper] save the Sustainer of all the worlds,

الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ (26:78)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:78 (Asad) who has created me and is the One who guides me,

وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ (26:79)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:79 (Asad) and is the One who gives me to eat and to drink,

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ (26:80)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:80 (Asad) and when I fall ill, is the One who restores me to health,

وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ (26:81)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:81 (Asad) and who will cause me to die and then will bring me back to life –

وَالَّذِي أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ (26:82)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:82 (Asad) and who, [hope, will forgive me my faults on Judgment Day!

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ (26:83)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:83 (Asad) “O my Sustainer! Endow me with the ability to judge [between right and wrong], and make me one with the righteous,

وَاجْعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ (26:84)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:84 (Asad) and grant me the power to convey the truth unto those who will come after me,

وَاجْعَلْنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ (26:85)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:85 (Asad) and place me among those who shall inherit the garden of bliss!

وَاغْفِرْ لِأَبِي إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ (26:86)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:86 (Asad) “And forgive my father - for, verily, he is among those who have gone astray –

وَلَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ (26:87)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

26:87 (Asad) and do not put me to shame on the Day when all shall be raised from the dead:

وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْرَاهِيمَ (37:83)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:83 (Asad) AND, BEHOLD, of his persuasion was Abraham, too,

إِذْ جَاء رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ (37:84)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:84 (Asad) when he turned to his Sustainer with a heart free of evil,

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ (37:85)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:85 (Asad) and [thus] spoke to his father and his people: “What is it that you worship?

أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ (37:86)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:86 (Asad) Do you want [to bow down before] a lie - [before] deities other than God?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (37:87)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:87 (Asad) What, then, do you think of the Sustainer of all the worlds?”

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ (37:88)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:88 (Asad) Then he cast a glance at the stars,

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ (37:89)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:89 (Asad) and said, “Verily, I am sick [at heart]!”

فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ (37:90)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:90 (Asad) and at that they turned their backs on him and went away.

فَرَاغَ إِلَى آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ (37:91)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:91 (Asad) Thereupon he approached their gods stealthily and said, “What! You do not eat [of the offerings placed before you]?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ (37:92)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:92 (Asad) What is amiss with you that you do not speak?”

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ (37:93)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:93 (Asad) And then he fell upon them, smiting them with his right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ (37:94)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:94 (Asad) [But] then the others came towards him hurriedly [and accused him of his deed].

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ (37:95)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:95 (Asad) He answered: “Do you worship something that you [yourselves] have carved,

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ (37:96)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:96 (Asad) the while it is God who has created you and all your handiwork?”

قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ (37:97)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:97 (Asad) They exclaimed: “Build a pyre for him, and cast him into the blazing fire!”

فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ (37:98)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:98 (Asad) But whereas they sought to do evil unto him, We [frustrated their designs, and thus] brought them low?

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ (37:99)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:99 (Asad) And [Abraham] said: “Verily, I shall [leave this land and] go wherever my Sustainer will guide me!”

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ (37:100)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

37:100 (Asad) [And he prayed:] “O my Sustainer! Bestow upon me the gift of [a son who shall be] one of the righteous!” –

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِه عَالِمِينَ (21:51)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:51 (Asad) AND, INDEED, long before [the time of Moses] We vouchsafed unto Abraham his consciousness of what is right; and We were aware of [what moved] him

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا هَذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلُ الَّتِي أَنتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُونَ (21:52)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:52 (Asad) when he said unto his father and his people, “What are these images to which you are so intensely devoted?”

قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءنَا لَهَا عَابِدِينَ (21:53)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:53 (Asad) They answered: ‘‘We found our forefathers worshipping them.”

قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنتُمْ أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ (21:54)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:54 (Asad) Said he: “Indeed, you and your forefathers have obviously gone astray!”

قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنتَ مِنَ اللَّاعِبِينَ (21:55)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:55 (Asad) They asked: “Hast thou come unto us [with this claim] in all earnest - or art thou one of those jesters?’’

قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ (21:56)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:56 (Asad) He answered: “Nay, but your [true] Sustainer is the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth - He who has brought them into being: and I am one of those who bear witness to this [truth]!”

وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُم بَعْدَ أَن تُوَلُّوا مُدْبِرِينَ (21:57)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:57 (Asad) And [he added to himself.] “By God, I shall most certainly bring about the downfall of your idols as soon as you have turned your backs and gone away!”

فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ (21:58)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:58 (Asad) And then he broke those [idols] to pieces, [all] save the biggest of them, so that they might [be able to] turn to it.

قَالُوا مَن فَعَلَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ (21:59)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:59 (Asad) [When they saw what had happened,] they said: “Who has done this to our gods? Verily, one of the worst wrongdoers is he!’’

قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (21:60)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:60 (Asad) Said some [of them]: “We heard a youth speak of these [gods with scorn]: he is called Abraham.’’

قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ (21:61)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:61 (Asad) [The others] said: “Then bring him before the peoples eyes, so that they might bear witness [against him]!”

قَالُوا أَأَنتَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ (21:62)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:62 (Asad) [And when he came.] they asked: “Hast thou done this to our gods, O Abraham?”

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِن كَانُوا يَنطِقُونَ (21:63)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:63 (Asad) He answered: “Nay, it was this one, the biggest of them, that did it: but ask them [yourselves] - provided they can speak!”

فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ (21:64)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:64 (Asad) And so they turned upon one another, saying, “Behold, it is you who are doing wrong.”

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَؤُلَاء يَنطِقُونَ (21:65)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:65 (Asad) But then they relapsed into their former way of thinking and said: “Thou knowest very well that these [idols] cannot speak!”

قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ (21:66)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:66 (Asad) Said [Abraham]: “Do you then worship, instead of God, something that cannot benefit you in any way, nor harm you?

أُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ (21:67)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:67 (Asad) Fie upon you and upon all that you worship instead of God! Will you not, then, use your reason?”

قَالُوا حَرِّقُوهُ وَانصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ (21:68)
Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

21:68 (Asad) They exclaimed: “Burn him, and [thereby] succour your gods, if you are going to do [anything]!”
