اِقۡتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ فِىۡ غَفۡلَةٍ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۱﴾

Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness. ﴾1﴿

مَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ ذِكۡرٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّہِمۡ مُّحۡدَثٍ اِلَّا اسۡتَمَعُوۡهُ وَهُمۡ يَلۡعَبُوۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۲﴾

Never cometh there unto them a new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it while they play, ﴾2﴿

لَاهِيَةً قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ‌ؕ وَاَسَرُّوۡا النَّجۡوَى‌ۖ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا‌ۖ هَلۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ‌ۚ اَفَتَاۡتُوۡنَ السِّحۡرَ وَاَنۡتُمۡ تُبۡصِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳﴾

With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong-doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it)? ﴾3﴿

قٰلَ رَبِّىۡ يَعۡلَمُ الۡقَوۡلَ فِىۡ السَّمَآءِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ‌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ‏ ﴿۴﴾

He saith: My Lord knoweth what is spoken in the heaven and the earth. He is the Hearer, the Knower. ﴾4﴿

بَلۡ قَالُوۡآ اَضۡغَاثُ اَحۡلَامٍۢ بَلِ افۡتَرٰٮهُ بَلۡ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ‌ ۖۚ فَلۡيَاۡتِنَا بِاٰيَةٍ كَمَاۤ اُرۡسِلَ الۡاَوَّلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۵﴾

Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were Allah's messengers) were sent (with portents). ﴾5﴿

مَاۤ اٰمَنَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ اَهۡلَـكۡنٰهَا‌ۚ اَفَهُمۡ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶﴾

Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe? ﴾6﴿

وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ اِلَّا رِجَالاً نُّوۡحِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِمۡ‌ فَسۡــَٔلُوۡۤا اَهۡلَ الذِّكۡرِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۷﴾

And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men, whom We inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not? ﴾7﴿

وَمَا جَعَلۡنٰهُمۡ جَسَدًا لَّا يَاۡكُلُوۡنَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوۡا خٰلِدِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۸﴾

We gave them not bodies that would not eat food, nor were they immortals. ﴾8﴿

ثُمَّ صَدَقۡنٰهُمُ الۡوَعۡدَ فَاَنۡجَيۡنٰهُمۡ وَمَنۡ نَّشَآءُ وَاَهۡلَكۡنَا الۡمُسۡرِفِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۹﴾

Then we fulfilled the promise unto them. So we delivered them and whom We would, and We destroyed the prodigals. ﴾9﴿

لَقَدۡ اَنۡزَلۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكُمۡ كِتٰبًا فِيۡهِ ذِكۡرُكُمۡ‌ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۰﴾

Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your Reminder. Have ye then no sense? ﴾10﴿

وَكَمۡ قَصَمۡنَا مِنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ كَانَتۡ ظَالِمَةً وَّاَنۡشَاۡنَا بَعۡدَهَا قَوۡمًا اٰخَرِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۱﴾

How many a community that dealt unjustly have We shattered, and raised up after them another folk! ﴾11﴿

فَلَمَّاۤ اَحَسُّوۡا بَاۡسَنَاۤ اِذَا هُمۡ مِّنۡهَا يَرۡكُضُوۡنَؕ‏ ﴿۱۲﴾

And, when they felt Our might, behold them fleeing from it! ﴾12﴿

لَا تَرۡكُضُوۡا وَ ارۡجِعُوۡۤا اِلٰى مَاۤ اُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ فِيۡهِ وَمَسٰكِنِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡــَٔلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۳﴾

(But it was said unto them): Flee not, but return to that (existence) which emasculated you and to your dwellings, that ye may be questioned. ﴾13﴿

قَالُوۡا يٰوَيۡلَنَاۤ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۴﴾

They cried: Alas for us! we were wrong-doers. ﴾14﴿

فَمَا زَالَتۡ تِّلۡكَ دَعۡوٰٮهُمۡ حَتّٰى جَعَلۡنٰهُمۡ حَصِيۡدًا خٰمِدِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۵﴾

And this their crying ceased not till We made them as reaped corn, extinct. ﴾15﴿

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۶﴾

We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in play. ﴾16﴿

لَوۡ اَرَدۡنَاۤ اَنۡ نَّـتَّخِذَ لَهۡوًا لَّاتَّخَذۡنٰهُ مِنۡ لَّدُنَّاۤ‌  ۖ اِنۡ كُنَّا فٰعِلِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۷﴾

If We had wished to find a pastime, We could have found it in Our presence - if We ever did. ﴾17﴿

بَلۡ نَـقۡذِفُ بِالۡحَـقِّ عَلَى الۡبَاطِلِ فَيَدۡمَغُهٗ فَاِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ‌ؕ وَلَـكُمُ الۡوَيۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۸﴾

Nay, but We hurl the true against the false, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him). ﴾18﴿

وَلَهٗ مَنۡ فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ‌ؕ وَمَنۡ عِنۡدَهٗ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُوۡنَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَلَا يَسۡتَحۡسِرُوۡنَ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۱۹﴾

Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who dwell in His presence are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they weary; ﴾19﴿

يُسَبِّحُوۡنَ الَّيۡلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفۡتُرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۰﴾

They glorify (Him) night and day; they flag not. ﴾20﴿

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوۡۤا اٰلِهَةً مِّنَ الۡاَرۡضِ هُمۡ يُنۡشِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۱﴾

Or have they chosen gods from the earth who raise the dead? ﴾21﴿

لَوۡ كَانَ فِيۡهِمَاۤ اٰلِهَةٌ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ لَـفَسَدَتَا‌ۚ فَسُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۲﴾

If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him). ﴾22﴿

لَا يُسۡـَٔـلُ عَمَّا يَفۡعَلُ وَهُمۡ يُسۡـٔـَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۳﴾

He will not be questioned as to that which He doeth, but they will be questioned. ﴾23﴿

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةً‌ ؕ قُلۡ هَاتُوۡا بُرۡهَانَكُمۡ‌ۚ هٰذَا ذِكۡرُ مَنۡ مَّعِىَ وَذِكۡرُ مَنۡ قَبۡلِىۡ‌ؕ بَلۡ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ الۡحَـقَّ‌ فَهُمۡ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۴﴾

Or have they chosen other gods beside Him? say: Bring your proof (of their godhead). This is the Reminder of those with me and those before me, but most of them know not the Truth and so they are averse. ﴾24﴿

وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا نُوۡحِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنَا فَاعۡبُدُوۡنِ‏ ﴿۲۵﴾

And We sent no messenger before thee but We inspired him, (saying): There is no Allah save Me (Allah), so worship Me. ﴾25﴿

وَقَالُوۡا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحۡمٰنُ وَلَدًا‌ سُبۡحٰنَهٗ‌ؕ بَلۡ عِبَادٌ مُّكۡرَمُوۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۲۶﴾

And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He Glorified! Nay, but (those whom they call sons) are honoured slaves; ﴾26﴿

لَا يَسۡبِقُوۡنَهٗ بِالۡقَوۡلِ وَهُمۡ بِاَمۡرِهٖ يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۷﴾

They speak not until He hath spoken, and they act by His command. ﴾27﴿

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَ لَا يَشۡفَعُوۡنَۙ اِلَّا لِمَنِ ارۡتَضٰى وَهُمۡ مِّنۡ خَشۡيَـتِهٖ مُشۡفِقُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۸﴾

He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him whom He accepteth, and they quake for awe of Him. ﴾28﴿

وَمَنۡ يَّقُلۡ مِنۡهُمۡ اِنِّىۡۤ اِلٰـهٌ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ فَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِيۡهِ جَهَـنَّمَ‌ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِىۡ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۹﴾

And one of them who should say: Lo! I am a god beside Him, that one We should repay with hell. Thus We Repay wrong-doers. ﴾29﴿

اَوَلَمۡ يَرَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقًا فَفَتَقۡنٰهُمَا‌ؕ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىۡءٍ حَىٍّ‌ؕ اَفَلَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۰﴾

Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe? ﴾30﴿

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ رَاوسِىَ اَنۡ تَمِيۡدَ بِهِمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيۡهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلاً لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۱﴾

And We have placed in the earth firm hills lest it quake with them, and We have placed therein ravines as roads that haply they may find their way. ﴾31﴿

وَجَعَلۡنَا السَّمَآءَ سَقۡفًا مَّحۡفُوۡظًا ۖۚ وَّهُمۡ عَنۡ اٰيٰتِهَا مُعۡرِضُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۲﴾

And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents. ﴾32﴿

وَهُوَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ الَّيۡلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمۡسَ وَالۡقَمَرَ‌ؕ كُلٌّ فِىۡ فَلَكٍ يَّسۡبَحُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۳﴾

And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit. ﴾33﴿

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِكَ الۡخُـلۡدَ‌ؕ اَفَا۟ئِن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الۡخٰـلِدُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۴﴾

We appointed immortality for no mortal before thee. What! if thou diest, can they be immortal! ﴾34﴿

كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ ذَآٮِٕقَةُ الۡمَوۡتِ‌ؕ وَنَبۡلُوۡكُمۡ بِالشَّرِّ وَالۡخَيۡرِ فِتۡنَةً‌ ؕ وَّاِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۵﴾

Every soul must taste of death, and We try you with evil and with good, for ordeal. And unto Us ye will be returned. ﴾35﴿

وَاِذَا رَاٰكَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اِنۡ يَّتَّخِذُوۡنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًاؕ اَهٰذَا الَّذِىۡ يَذۡكُرُ اٰلِهَـتَكُمۡ‌ۚ وَهُمۡ بِذِكۡرِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ هُمۡ كٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۶﴾

And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): Is this he who maketh mention of your gods? And they would deny all mention of the Beneficent. ﴾36﴿

خُلِقَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مِنۡ عَجَلٍ‌ؕ سَاُورِيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتِىۡ فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُوۡنِ‏ ﴿۳۷﴾

Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents, but ask Me not to hasten. ﴾37﴿

وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الۡوَعۡدُ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۸﴾

And they say: When will this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful? ﴾38﴿

لَوۡ يَعۡلَمُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا حِيۡنَ لَا يَكُفُّوۡنَ عَنۡ وُّجُوۡهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَنۡ ظُهُوۡرِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنۡصَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۹﴾

If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped! ﴾39﴿

بَلۡ تَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ بَغۡتَةً فَتَبۡهَتُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنۡظَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۰﴾

Nay, but it will come upon them unawares so that it will stupefy them, and they will be unable to repel it, neither will they be reprieved. ﴾40﴿

وَلَـقَدِ اسۡتُهۡزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِيۡنَ سَخِرُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۱﴾

Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them. ﴾41﴿

قُلۡ مَنۡ يَّكۡلَؤُكُمۡ بِالَّيۡلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحۡمٰنِ‌ؕ بَلۡ هُمۡ عَنۡ ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۲﴾

Say: Who guardeth you in the night or in the day from the Beneficent? Nay, but they turn away from mention of their Lord! ﴾42﴿

اَمۡ لَهُمۡ اٰلِهَةٌ تَمۡنَعُهُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِنَا‌ؕ لَا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ نَـصۡرَ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ مِّنَّا يُصۡحَبُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۳﴾

Or have they gods who can shield them from Us? They cannot help themselves nor can they be defended from Us. ﴾43﴿

بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَ اٰبَآءَهُمۡ حَتّٰى طَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡعُمُرُ‌ؕ اَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ اَنَّا نَاۡتِىۡ الۡاَرۡضَ نَـنۡقُصُهَا مِنۡ اَطۡرَافِهَاؕ‌ اَفَهُمُ الۡغٰلِبُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۴﴾

Nay, but We gave these and their fathers ease until life grew long for them. See they not how we aim to the land, reducing it of its outlying parts? Can they then be the victors? ﴾44﴿

قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اُنۡذِرُكُمۡ بِالۡوَحۡىِ‌‌ۖ وَلَا يَسۡمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَآءَ اِذَا مَا يُنۡذَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۵﴾

Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I warn you only by the Inspiration. But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned. ﴾45﴿

وَلَٮِٕنۡ مَّسَّتۡهُمۡ نَفۡحَةٌ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُوۡلُنَّ يٰوَيۡلَنَاۤ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۶﴾

And if a breath of thy Lord's punishment were to touch them, they assuredly would say: Alas for us! Lo! we were wrong-doers. ﴾46﴿

وَنَضَعُ الۡمَوَازِيۡنَ الۡقِسۡطَ لِيَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٌ شَيۡـًٔـا‌ؕ وَاِنۡ كَانَ مِثۡقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنۡ خَرۡدَلٍ اَتَيۡنَا بِهَا‌ؕ وَكَفٰى بِنَا حٰسِبِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۷﴾

And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, We bring it. And We suffice for reckoners. ﴾47﴿

وَلَـقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنَا مُوۡسٰى وَهٰرُوۡنَ الۡفُرۡقَانَ وَضِيَآءً وَّذِكۡرًا لِّـلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۴۸﴾

And We verily gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion (of right and wrong) and a light and a Reminder for those who keep from evil, ﴾48﴿

الَّذِيۡنَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُمۡ بِالۡغَيۡبِ وَهُمۡ مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشۡفِقُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۹﴾

Those who fear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour (of doom). ﴾49﴿

وَهٰذَا ذِكۡرٌ مُّبٰرَكٌ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ‌ؕ اَفَاَنۡتُمۡ لَهٗ مُنۡكِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۰﴾

This is a blessed Reminder that we have revealed: Will ye then reject it? ﴾50﴿

وَلَـقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنَاۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ رُشۡدَهٗ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ وَ كُنَّا بِهٖ عٰلِمِيۡنَ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۵۱﴾

And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him, ﴾51﴿

اِذۡ قَالَ لِاَبِيۡهِ وَقَوۡمِهٖ مَا هٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيۡلُ الَّتِىۡۤ اَنۡتُمۡ لَهَا عٰكِفُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۲﴾

When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion? ﴾52﴿

قَالُوۡا وَجَدۡنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا لَهَا عٰبِدِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۳﴾

They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them. ﴾53﴿

قَالَ لَـقَدۡ كُنۡتُمۡ اَنۡتُمۡ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمۡ فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‏ ﴿۵۴﴾

He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error. ﴾54﴿

قَالُوۡۤا اَجِئۡتَنَا بِالۡحَـقِّ اَمۡ اَنۡتَ مِنَ اللّٰعِبِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۵﴾

They said: Bringest thou unto us the truth, or art thou some jester? ﴾55﴿

قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمۡ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ الَّذِىۡ فَطَرَهُنَّ‌ۖ وَاَنَا عَلٰى ذٰلِكُمۡ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۶﴾

He said: Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that. ﴾56﴿

وَ تَاللّٰهِ لَاَكِيۡدَنَّ اَصۡنَامَكُمۡ بَعۡدَ اَنۡ تُوَلُّوۡا مُدۡبِرِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۷﴾

And, by Allah, I shall circumvent your idols after ye have gone away and turned your backs. ﴾57﴿

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ جُذٰذًا اِلَّا كَبِيۡرًا لَّهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ اِلَيۡهِ يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۸﴾

Then he reduced them to fragments, all save the chief of them, that haply they might have recourse to it. ﴾58﴿

قَالُوۡا مَنۡ فَعَلَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَاۤ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۹﴾

They said: Who hath done this to our gods? Surely it must be some evil-doer. ﴾59﴿

قَالُوۡا سَمِعۡنَا فَتًى يَذۡكُرُهُمۡ يُقَالُ لَهٗۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمُؕ‏ ﴿۶۰﴾

They said: We heard a youth make mention of them, who is called Abraham. ﴾60﴿

قَالُوۡا فَاۡتُوۡا بِهٖ عَلٰٓى اَعۡيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَشۡهَدُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶۱﴾

They said: Then bring him (hither) before the people's eyes that they may testify. ﴾61﴿

قَالُوۡٓا ءَاَنۡتَ فَعَلۡتَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَا يٰۤاِبۡرٰهِيۡمُؕ‏ ﴿۶۲﴾

They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods, O Abraham? ﴾62﴿

قَالَ بَلۡ فَعَلَهٗ‌‌ۖ كَبِيۡرُهُمۡ هٰذَا فَسۡــَٔلُوۡهُمۡ اِنۡ كَانُوۡا يَنۡطِقُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶۳﴾

He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak. ﴾63﴿

فَرَجَعُوۡۤا اِلٰٓى اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ فَقَالُوۡۤا اِنَّكُمۡ اَنۡتُمُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۶۴﴾

Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong-doers. ﴾64﴿

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوۡا عَلٰى رُءُوۡسِہِمۡ‌ۚ لَـقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَا هٰٓؤُلَآءِ يَنۡطِقُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶۵﴾

And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not. ﴾65﴿

قَالَ اَفَتَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنۡفَعُكُمۡ شَيۡـًٔـا وَّلَا يَضُرُّكُمۡؕ‏ ﴿۶۶﴾

He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you? ﴾66﴿

اُفٍّ لَّـكُمۡ وَلِمَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۶۷﴾

Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense? ﴾67﴿

قَالُوۡا حَرِّقُوۡهُ وَانْصُرُوۡۤا اٰلِهَتَكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ فٰعِلِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۶۸﴾

They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing. ﴾68﴿

قُلۡنَا يٰنَارُ كُوۡنِىۡ بَرۡدًا وَّسَلٰمًا عَلٰٓى اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَۙ‏ ﴿۶۹﴾

We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham, ﴾69﴿

وَاَرَادُوۡا بِهٖ كَيۡدًا فَجَعَلۡنٰهُمُ الۡاَخۡسَرِيۡنَ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۷۰﴾

And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers. ﴾70﴿

وَنَجَّيۡنٰهُ وَلُوۡطًا اِلَى الۡاَرۡضِ الَّتِىۡ بٰرَكۡنَا فِيۡهَا لِلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۷۱﴾

And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples. ﴾71﴿

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهٗۤ اِسۡحٰقَؕ وَيَعۡقُوۡبَ نَافِلَةً‌ ؕ وَّكُلاًّ جَعَلۡنَا صٰلِحِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۷۲﴾

And We bestowed upon him Isaac, and Jacob as a grandson. Each of them We made righteous. ﴾72﴿

وَجَعَلۡنٰهُمۡ اَٮِٕمَّةً يَّهۡدُوۡنَ بِاَمۡرِنَا وَاَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡهِمۡ فِعۡلَ الۡخَيۡرٰتِ وَاِقَامَ الصَّلٰوةِ وَاِيۡتَآءَ الزَّكٰوةِ‌ۚ وَكَانُوۡا لَـنَا عٰبِدِيۡنَ ۙ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۷۳﴾

And We made them chiefs who guide by Our command, and We inspired in them the doing of good deeds and the right establishment of worship and the giving of alms, and they were worshippers of Us (alone). ﴾73﴿

Say: It is only inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah. Will ye then surrender (unto Him)? ﴾108﴿

فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَقُلۡ اٰذَنۡـتُكُمۡ عَلٰى سَوَآءٍ‌ؕ وَّاِنۡ اَدۡرِىۡۤ اَقَرِيۡبٌ اَمۡ بَعِيۡدٌ مَّا تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۰۹﴾
