And recite to them the news of Abraham,  

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ  

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"  

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ  

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."  

قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ  

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?  

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ  

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"  

أَوْ يَنْفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ  

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."  

قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ  

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,  

قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ  

You and your ancient forefathers?  

أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ  

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,  

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِي إِلَّا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ  

Who created me, and He ˹it is who˺ guides me.  

الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ  

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.  

وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ  

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me  

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ  

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life  

وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ  

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."  

وَالَّذِي أَطْمَعُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ  

˹And he said˺, "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.  

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ  

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.  

وَاجْعَلْ لِي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ  

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.  

وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ  

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.  

وَاغْفِرْ لِأَبِي إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ  

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are ˹all˺ resurrected -  

وَلَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ  

The Day when there will not benefit ˹anyone˺ wealth or children  

يَوْمَ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ  

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."  

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ  

And Paradise will be brought near ˹that Day˺ to the righteous.  

وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ  

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,  

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ  

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship  

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ  

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"  

مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ هَلْ يَنْصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنْتَصِرُونَ  

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators  

فَكُبْكِبُوا فِيهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوُونَ  

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.  

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ  

They will say while they dispute therein,  

قَالُوا وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ  

"By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error  

تَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ  

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.  

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ  

And no one misguided us except the criminals.  

وَمَا أَضَلَّنَا إِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُونَ  

So now we have no intercessors  

فَمَا لَنَا مِنْ شَافِعِينَ  

And not a devoted friend.  

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ  

Then if we only had a return ˹to the world˺ and could be of the believers... "  

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ  

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.  

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ  

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.  

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
