@ 1354 Abraham challenges his people and demonstrates the worthlessness of their idolatry 37:83-99
37:83 Of his party was Abraham.
# وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ 83
37:84 (Remember when) he came to his Lord with a pure heart;
# إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ 84
37:85 and when he said to his father and to his nation, 'What do you worship?
# إِذْ قَالَ لأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ 85
37:86 It is falsehood that you desire gods other than Allah!
# أَئِفْكاً آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ 86
37:87 What do you think of the Lord of the Worlds?'
# فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ العَالَمِينَ 87
37:88 He cast a glance at the stars
# فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ 88
37:89 and said, 'Surely, I am sick (of what you worship)!'
# فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ 89
37:90 But they turned their backs and went away from him.
# فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ 90
37:91 Then he turned to their gods, and said, 'What do you eat?
# فَرَاغَ إِلَى آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلاَ تَأْكُلُونَ 91
37:92 What is the matter with you, that you do not speak?'
# مَا لَكُمْ لاَ تَنطِقُونَ 92
37:93 And he turned upon them striking them with the right hand.
# فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْباً بِالْيَمِينِ 93
37:94 Thereafter they (the people) came to him in haste.
# فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ 94
37:95 He said, 'Do you worship what you, yourselves have carved
# قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ 95
37:96 when it is Allah who created you and all that you do?'
# وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 96
37:97 They replied, 'Build for him a building and cast him into the fire.'
# قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَاناً فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الجَحِيمِ 97
37:98 Their desire was to outwit him, but We made them to be the humiliated.
# فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْداً فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الأَسْفَلِينَ 98
37:99 He said, 'I will go to my Lord; He will guide me.
# وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ 99
