21. Sūrat al-Anbiyāʾ
٢١۔ سُورَةُ الأنبيَاء
And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well-Knowing
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِ عَالِمِينَ
When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا هَٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلُ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُونَ
قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا لَهَا عَابِدِينَ
He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."
قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ
They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"
قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنْتَ مِنَ اللَّاعِبِينَ
He said, "˹No˺, rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify.
قَالَ بَلْ رَبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
And ˹I swear˺ by Allah, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."
وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ تُوَلُّوا مُدْبِرِينَ
