وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ

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

وَاتلُ عَلَيهِم نَبَأَ إِبراهيمَ

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ وَقَومِهِ ما تَعبُدونَ

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

قالوا نَعبُدُ أَصنامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَها عاكِفينَ

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

قالَ هَل يَسمَعونَكُم إِذ تَدعونَ

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

قالوا بَل وَجَدنا آباءَنا كَذٰلِكَ يَفعَلونَ

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

قالَ أَفَرَأَيتُم ما كُنتُم تَعبُدونَ

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

أَنتُم وَآباؤُكُمُ الأَقدَمونَ

You and your ancient forefathers?

فَإِنَّهُم عَدُوٌّ لي إِلّا رَبَّ العالَمينَ

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

الَّذي خَلَقَني فَهُوَ يَهدينِ

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.
