Holy Quran » ASH SHAAFFAAT : 81 - 100

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

Then We drowned the disbelievers.

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

And he cast a look at the stars

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

So they turned away from him, departing.

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

Then the people came toward him, hastening.

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

While Allah created you and that which you do?"

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."
