وَاذكُر فِي الكِتابِ إِبراهيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ صِدّيقًا نَبِيًّا
And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.
إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ يا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعبُدُ ما لا يَسمَعُ وَلا يُبصِرُ وَلا يُغني عَنكَ شَيئًا
[Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?
يا أَبَتِ إِنّي قَد جاءَني مِنَ العِلمِ ما لَم يَأتِكَ فَاتَّبِعني أَهدِكَ صِراطًا سَوِيًّا
O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.
يا أَبَتِ لا تَعبُدِ الشَّيطانَ ۖ إِنَّ الشَّيطانَ كانَ لِلرَّحمـٰنِ عَصِيًّا
O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.
يا أَبَتِ إِنّي أَخافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذابٌ مِنَ الرَّحمـٰنِ فَتَكونَ لِلشَّيطانِ وَلِيًّا
O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]."
قالَ أَراغِبٌ أَنتَ عَن آلِهَتي يا إِبراهيمُ ۖ لَئِن لَم تَنتَهِ لَأَرجُمَنَّكَ ۖ وَاهجُرني مَلِيًّا
[His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time."
قالَ سَلامٌ عَلَيكَ ۖ سَأَستَغفِرُ لَكَ رَبّي ۖ إِنَّهُ كانَ بي حَفِيًّا
[Abraham] said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.
وَأَعتَزِلُكُم وَما تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَأَدعو رَبّي عَسىٰ أَلّا أَكونَ بِدُعاءِ رَبّي شَقِيًّا
And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy."
فَلَمَّا اعتَزَلَهُم وَما يَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَهَبنا لَهُ إِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلنا نَبِيًّا
So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.
وَوَهَبنا لَهُم مِن رَحمَتِنا وَجَعَلنا لَهُم لِسانَ صِدقٍ عَلِيًّا
And We gave them of Our mercy, and we made for them a reputation of high honor.
وَاذكُر فِي الكِتابِ موسىٰ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ مُخلَصًا وَكانَ رَسولًا نَبِيًّا
And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.
