Hoofdstuk 26, Pagina 370, Juz 19

69. And recount to them the story of Abraham: 70. when he asked his father and his people: "What do you worship?" 71. They answered: "There are some idols that we worship and are devoted to them with constancy." 72. He asked: "Do they hear you when you call them 73. or do they cause you any benefit or harm?" 74. They answered: "No; but we found our forefathers doing so." 75. Thereupon, Abraham said: "Have you seen (with your eyes) those whom you have been worshipping, 76. you and your forefathers of yore? 77. They are all enemies to me; all, except the Lord of the Universe 78. Who created me and Who guides me; 79. Who gives me food and drink, 80. and Who, when I am ill, heals me; 81. Who will cause me to die and then will again restore me to life; 82. Who, I hope, will forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgement." 83. (And then Abraham prayed): "My Lord, endow me with knowledge and wisdom and join me with the righteous, 84. and grant me an honourable reputation among posterity, 85. and make me of those who will inherit the Garden of Bliss, 86. and forgive my father for he is among those who strayed, 87. and disgrace me not on the Day when people will be raised to life, 88. the Day when nothing will avail, neither wealth nor offspring, 89. but only he that brings to Allah a sound heart will (attain to success)." 90. (On that Day)the Garden will be brought near to the God-fearing, 91. and the Fire will be uncovered for those who strayed, 92. and they will be asked: "Where are the gods that you worshipped 93. beside Allah? Can they be of any help to you, or even be of any help to themselves?" 94. Then the idols and those who strayed will be hurled into the Fire headlong, one upon another, 95. and so too the hosts of Iblis, all of them. 96. There they will quarrel with one another and the erring ones will say (to their deities): 97. "By Allah, we were surely in clear error 98. when we assigned to you a position equal to that of the Lord of the Universe. 99. It is none but those steeped in guilt who led us into this error, 100. and now we have none to intercede on our behalf, 101. nor do we have a truly sincere friend. 102. If only we could return we would be among the believers." 103. Surely there is a Sign in this, but most of them would not believe. 104. Verily Your Lord is Immensely Mighty, Ever Compassionate.
