61. |
They
said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they
may bear witness:" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
They
said, "Are you the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
He
said: "Nay, this was done by--this is their is their biggest
one! Ask them, if they can speak intelligently!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
So
they turned to themselves and said, "Surely you are the ones
in the wrong!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
Then
were they confounded with shame: (they
said) "You know full well
that these (idols)
do not speak!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
(Abraham)
said, "Do you then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither
be of any good to you nor do you harm? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
"Fie
upon you, and upon the things that you worship besides Allah! have
you no sense?"… |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
They
said, "Burn him and protect your gods, if you do (anything
at all)!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
We
said, "O fire! Be you cool, and (a
means of) safety for Abraham!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
Then
they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that
lost most! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
But
We delivered him and (his nephew)
Lut (and directed them)
to the land which We have blessed for the nations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
And
We bestowed on him Isaac and, as an additional gift (a
grandson) Jacob and We made
righteous men of every one (of
them). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
And
We made them leaders, guiding (men)
by Our Command, and We sent them inspiration to do good deeds, to
establish regular prayers, and to practice regular charity; and they
constantly served Us (and Us
only). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
And
to Lut, too, we gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from
the town which practiced abominations: truly they were a people given
to Evil, a rebellious people. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
And
We admitted him to Our Mercy: for he was one of the Righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
(Remember)
Noah, when he cried (to Us)
aforetime: We listened to his
(prayer) and delivered him and
his family from great distress. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
We
helped him against people who rejected Our Signs: truly they were
a people given to Evil: so We drowned them (in
the Flood) all together. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
And
remember David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the matter
of the field into which the sheep of certain people had strayed by
night: We did witness their judgment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
To
Solomon We inspired the (right)
understanding of the matter: to each (of
them) We gave Judgment and Knowledge;
it was Our power that made the hills and the birds celebrate Our praises
with David: it was We Who did (these
things). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
It
was We Who taught him the making of coats of mail for your benefit,
to guard you from each others violence: will you then be grateful? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
(It
was Our power that made) the
violent (unruly)
wind flow (tamely)
for Solomon, to his order, to the land which We had blessed: for We
do know all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
And
of the evil ones, were some who dived for him, and did other work
besides; and lit was We Who guarded them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
And
(remember)
Job, when he cried to his Lord, "Truly distress has seized me,
but You are the Most Merciful of those that are merciful." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
So
We listened to him: We removed the distress that was on him, and We
restored his people to him, and doubled their number--as a Grace from
Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all who serve Us. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
And
(remember)
Ismail, Idris, and Zul-kifl, all (men)
of constancy and patience; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
We
admitted them to Our Mercy: for they were of the Righteous ones. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
And
remember Zun-nun, when he departed in wrath: he imagined that We had
no power over him! But he cried through the depths of darkness, "There
is no god but You: Glory to You: I was indeed wrong!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
So
We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We
deliver those who have faith. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
And
(remember)
Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: "O my Lord! Leave me not
without offspring, though You are the best of inheritors.” |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
So
We listened to him: and We granted him Yahya: We cured his wife's
(barrenness)
for him. These three were ever quick in emulation in good works: they
used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble themselves
before Us. |
