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, and we remain constantly in attendance on them." 71 He said, 'Do they hear you when you call, 72 Do they help or harm you?" 73 They replied: 'No, but we found our fathers doing so' 74 Thereupon, Abraham said: "Have you seen (with your eyes) those whom you have been worshipping, 75 You and your fathers? 76 They are all enemies to me; all, except the Lord of the Universe 77 He created me and He will guide me. 78 "Who gives me food and drink, 79 and heals me when I am sick. 80 And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life 81 And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment. 82 Lord, grant me authority. Join me to the righteous ones. 83 and grant me the power to convey the truth unto those who will come after me, 84 And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure. 85 "And forgive my father - for, verily, he is among those who have gone astray 86 Do not degrade me on the Day when they are resurrected. 87 the day when neither wealth nor sons shall profit 88 except him who comes before Allah with a pure heart; 89 "To the righteous, the Garden will be brought near, 90 And hell will be revealed for the astray. 91 And it will be said to them, "Where are those whom you used to worship?" 92 "Instead of Allah? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?" 93 Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), They and the Ghawun (devils, and those who were in error). 94 and the hosts of Iblis - all together. 95 Disputing among themselves they will say: 96 "By God, we were plainly in error 97 when we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds. 98 And no one misguided us except the criminals. 99 and now we have none to intercede on our behalf, 100 no caring friend. 101 Would that we could have a chance to live again so that we might become believers." 102 Verily there is a sign in this, but many of them do not believe. 103 And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. 104
