51. Surely We had bestowed wisdom upon Abraham even earlier, and We knew him well. 52. Recall, when he said to his father and his people: "What are these images to which you are devoutly clinging?" 53. They answered: "We found our fathers worshipping them." 54. He said: "Certainly you and your fathers have all been in manifest error." 55. They said: "Are you expressing your true ideas before us or are you jesting?" 56. He said: "Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth which He created and to that I bear witness before you. 57. By Allah, I shall certainly carry out my plan against your gods after you are gone." 58. Then he broke them all into pieces, sparing only the supreme one among them that they may possibly return to him. 59. (When they saw the idols in this state) they said: "Who has done this to our gods? Surely he is one of the wrong-doers." 60. Some of them said: "We heard a youth called Abraham speak (ill) of them." 61. The others said: "Bring him, then, before the eyes of the people that they may see (what will be done to him)." 62. (On Abraham's arrival) they said: "Abraham, are you he who has done this to our gods?" 63. He answered: "Rather it was this supreme one who has done it. So ask them, if they can speak." 64. Thereupon they turned to their (inner) selves and said (to themselves): "Surely it is you who are the wrong-doers." 65. Then their minds were turned upside down, and they said: "You know well that they do not speak." 66. Abraham said: "Do you, then, worship beside Allah a thing that can neither benefit you nor hurt you? 67. Fie upon you and upon all that you worship beside Allah. Do you have no sense?" 68. They said: "Burn him, and come to the support of your gods, if you are going to do anything." 69. We said: "O fire, become coolness and safety for Abraham." 70. They had sought to do evil to him, but We caused them to be the worst losers, 71. and We saved him and Lot and brought him to the land upon which We had bestowed Our blessings for all the people of the world.
