Read in Context

69. Recite unto them the story of Abraham: 70. When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye? 71. They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them. 72. He said: Do they hear you when ye cry? 73. Or do they benefit or harm you? 74. They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise. 75. He said: See now that which ye worship, 76. Ye and your forefathers! 77. Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me, save the Lord of the Worlds, 78. Who created me, and He doth guide me, 79. And Who feedeth me and watereth me. 80. And when I sicken, then He healeth me, 81. And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again), 82. And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment. 83. My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous. 84. And give unto me a good report in later generations. 85. And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight, 86. And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err. 87. And abase me not on the day when they are raised, 88. The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man) 89. Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart. 90. And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil). 91. And hell will appear plainly to the erring. 92. And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship 93. Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves? 94. Then will they be hurled therein, they and the seducers 95. And the hosts of Iblis, together. 96. And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein: 97. By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifest 98. When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds. 99. It was but the guilty who misled us. 100. Now we have no intercessors 101. Nor any loving friend. 102. Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers! 103. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers! 104. And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
