فَلَمّا رَأَى القَمَرَ بازِغًا قالَ هـٰذا رَبّي ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَ قالَ لَئِن لَم يَهدِني رَبّي لَأَكونَنَّ مِنَ القَومِ الضّالّينَ

And when he saw the moon rising, he said, "This is my lord." But when it set, he said, "Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the people gone astray."

فَلَمّا رَأَى الشَّمسَ بازِغَةً قالَ هـٰذا رَبّي هـٰذا أَكبَرُ ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَت قالَ يا قَومِ إِنّي بَريءٌ مِمّا تُشرِكونَ

And when he saw the sun rising, he said, "This is my lord; this is greater." But when it set, he said, "O my people, indeed I am free from what you associate with Allah.

إِنّي وَجَّهتُ وَجهِيَ لِلَّذي فَطَرَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ حَنيفًا ۖ وَما أَنا مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

Indeed, I have turned my face toward He who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others with Allah."

وَحاجَّهُ قَومُهُ ۚ قالَ أَتُحاجّونّي فِي اللَّهِ وَقَد هَدانِ ۚ وَلا أَخافُ ما تُشرِكونَ بِهِ إِلّا أَن يَشاءَ رَبّي شَيئًا ۗ وَسِعَ رَبّي كُلَّ شَيءٍ عِلمًا ۗ أَفَلا تَتَذَكَّرونَ

And his people argued with him. He said, "Do you argue with me concerning Allah while He has guided me? And I fear not what you associate with Him [and will not be harmed] unless my Lord should will something. My Lord encompasses all things in knowledge; then will you not remember?

وَكَيفَ أَخافُ ما أَشرَكتُم وَلا تَخافونَ أَنَّكُم أَشرَكتُم بِاللَّهِ ما لَم يُنَزِّل بِهِ عَلَيكُم سُلطانًا ۚ فَأَيُّ الفَريقَينِ أَحَقُّ بِالأَمنِ ۖ إِن كُنتُم تَعلَمونَ

And how should I fear what you associate while you do not fear that you have associated with Allah that for which He has not sent down to you any authority? So which of the two parties has more right to security, if you should know?

وَتِلكَ حُجَّتُنا آتَيناها إِبراهيمَ عَلىٰ قَومِهِ ۚ نَرفَعُ دَرَجاتٍ مَن نَشاءُ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكيمٌ عَليمٌ

And that was Our [conclusive] argument which We gave Abraham against his people. We raise by degrees whom We will. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing.

وَوَهَبنا لَهُ إِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ ۚ كُلًّا هَدَينا ۚ وَنوحًا هَدَينا مِن قَبلُ ۖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِ داوودَ وَسُلَيمانَ وَأَيّوبَ وَيوسُفَ وَموسىٰ وَهارونَ ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجزِي المُحسِنينَ

And We gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - all [of them] We guided. And Noah, We guided before; and among his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the doers of good.

وَزَكَرِيّا وَيَحيىٰ وَعيسىٰ وَإِلياسَ ۖ كُلٌّ مِنَ الصّالِحينَ

And Zechariah and John and Jesus and Elias - and all were of the righteous.

وَإِسماعيلَ وَاليَسَعَ وَيونُسَ وَلوطًا ۚ وَكُلًّا فَضَّلنا عَلَى العالَمينَ

And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot - and all [of them] We preferred over the worlds.

وَمِن آبائِهِم وَذُرِّيّاتِهِم وَإِخوانِهِم ۖ وَاجتَبَيناهُم وَهَدَيناهُم إِلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍ

And [some] among their fathers and their descendants and their brothers - and We chose them and We guided them to a straight path.
