Tell them the story of Abraham, 69 When he said to his father and his people: What do you worship? 70 They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries. 71 He said: Do they hear you when you call? 72 or benefit you or do you harm?" 73 They said: "Nay, but we found our fathers doing so." 74 He said: See now that which ye worship, 75 you and your forefathers of yore? 76 They are an enemy to me, except the Lord of all Being 77 who has created me and is the One who guides me, 78 He who gives me food and drink; 79 “And when I fall ill, so it is He Who heals me.” 80 He will cause me to die and will bring me back to life. 81 And who, I hope, will condone my faults on the Day of Judgement. 82 “My Lord, bestow me the command and join me with those who deserve your proximity.” 83 "Grant me honourable mention on the tongue of truth among the latest (generations); 84 And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure. 85 And forgive my father.

Can they succour you or succour themselves? 93 So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators 94 Together with the hordes of Iblis. 95 And they will say, and they will be quarrelling in it: 96 By Allah, we have indeed been in an error manifest. 97 when we considered you equal to the Lord of the Universe. 98 And none led us astray except the culprits. 99 and we have no intercessors now, 100 no caring friend. 101 Were there for us a return, we would be of the believers. 102 Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers! 103 Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate. 104
