(41) And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet. (42) [Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all? (43) O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path. (44) O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient. (45) O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]. (46) [His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time. (47) [Abraham] said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me. (48) And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy. (49) So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet. (50) And We gave them of Our mercy, and we made for them a reputation of high honor.

(51) And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well-Knowing. (52) When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?" (53) They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them. (54) He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error. (55) They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?" (56) He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify. (57) And [I swear] by Allah, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away. (58) So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question]. (59) They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers. (60) They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham. (61) They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify. (62) They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?" (63) He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak. (64) So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers. (65) Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!" (66) He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you? (67) Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then will you not use reason?" (68) They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act. (69) Allah said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham. (70) And they intended for him harm, but We made them the greatest losers. (71) And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds. (72) And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous. (73) And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakah; and they were worshippers of Us.

(69) And recite to them the news of Abraham. (70) When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?" (71) They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted. (72) He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate? (73) Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?" (74) They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus. (75) He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping. (76) You and your ancient forefathers? (77) Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds. (78) Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me. (79) And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink. (80) And when I am ill, it is He who cures me. (81) And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life. (82) And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense.

(16) And [We sent] Abraham, when he said to his people, "Worship Allah and fear Him. That is best for you, if you should know. (17) You only worship, besides Allah, idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allah provision and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be returned.

(24) And the answer of Abraham'speople was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allah saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe. (25) And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers. (26) And Lot believed him. [Abraham] said, "Indeed, I will emigrate to [the service of] my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (27) And We gave to Him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his descendants prophethood and scripture. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous.

(83) And indeed, among his kind was Abraham. (84) When he came to his Lord with a sound heart. (85) [And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship? (86) Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire? (87) Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?" (88) And he cast a look at the stars. (89) And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill. (90) So they turned away from him, departing. (91) Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat? (92) What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?" (93) And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand. (94) Then the people came toward him, hastening. (95) He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve. (96) While Allah created you and that which you do?" (97) They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire. (98) And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

(26) And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship. (27) Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me. (28) And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it].
