@ 1039 Abraham proves the worthlessness of idolatry 21:51-67


21:51 Before this We gave Abraham his virtue, for We knew him.
# وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِ عَالِمِينَ 51
21:52 He said to his father and to his nation, 'What, are these the statues to which you cling?'
# إِذْ قَالَ لأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا هَذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلُ الَتِي أَنتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُونَ 52
21:53 They replied, 'We found our fathers worshipping them.'
# قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا لَهَا عَابِدِينَ 53
21:54 He said, 'Truly, you and your fathers are in clear error.'
# قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنتُمْ أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ فِي ضَلالٍ مُّبِينٍ 54
21:55 They said, 'Is it the truth you have brought us, or are you one of those that play?'
# قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنْتَ مِنَ اللاَّعِبِينَ 55
21:56 'No,' he answered, 'your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Originator of them, and I am among those bearing witness to it.
# قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ الَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ 56
21:57 By Allah, I will certainly outwit your idols as soon as you have turned your backs and gone.'
# وَتَاللَّهِ لأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُم بَعْدَ أَن تُوَلُّوا مُدْبِرِينَ 57
21:58 He broke them all into pieces, except their great one so that they might return to it.
# فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذاً إِلاَّ كَبِيراً لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ 58
21:59 'Who has done this to our gods?' they exclaimed. 'He must surely be a harm doer.'
# قَالُوا مَن فَعَلَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ 59
21:60 'We have heard a young man called Abraham mention them' they replied.
# قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ 60
21:61 They said, 'Then bring him here so that the people may see, so that they may bear witness.'
# قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ 61
