And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,  

وَإِنَّ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْرَاهِيمَ  

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart  

إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ  

˹And˺ when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?  

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ  

Is it falsehood ˹as˺ gods other than Allah you desire?  

أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ  

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"  

فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ  

And he cast a look at the stars  

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ  

And said, "Indeed, I am ˹about to be˺ ill."  

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ  

So they turned away from him, departing.  

فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ  

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?  

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ  

What is ˹wrong˺ with you that you do not speak?"  

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُونَ  

And he turned upon them a blow with ˹his˺ right hand.  

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ  

Then the people came toward him, hastening.  

فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ  

He said, "Do you worship that which you ˹yourselves˺ carve,  

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ  

While Allah created you and that which you do?"  

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ  

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."  

قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ  

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.  

فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ
