Al-Anbiya
فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًا لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ58
He broke them all into pieces, but left the biggest one for them to return to
قَالُوا مَنْ فَعَلَ هَـٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ59
They said, ‘Who has done this to our gods? How wicked he must be!’
قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ60
Some said, ‘We heard a youth called Abraham talking about them.’
قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ61
They said, ‘Bring him before the eyes of the people, so that they may witness [his trial].’
قَالُوا أَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هَـٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ62
They asked, ‘Was it you, Abraham, who did this to our gods?’
قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَـٰذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِنْ كَانُوا يَنْطِقُونَ63
He said, ‘No, it was done by the biggest of them- this one. Ask them, if they can talk.’
فَرَجَعُوا إِلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ64
They turned to one another, saying, ‘It is you who are in the wrong,’
ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَـٰؤُلَاءِ يَنْطِقُونَ65
but then they lapsed again and said, ‘You know very well these gods cannot speak.’
قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ66
Abraham said, ‘How can you worship what can neither benefit nor harm you, instead of God
أُفٍّ لَكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ67
Shame on you and on the things you worship instead of God. Have you no sense?’
قَالُوا حَرِّقُوهُ وَانْصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ68
They said, ‘Burn him and avenge your gods, if you are going to do the right thing.’
قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ69
But We said, ‘Fire, be cool and safe for Abraham.’
وَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَخْسَرِينَ70
They planned to harm him, but We made them suffer the greatest loss
وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ71
We saved him and Lot [and sent them] to the land We blessed for all people
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صَالِحِينَ72
and We gave him Isaac and Jacob as an additional gift, and made each of them righteous
