And when

said

Ibrahim

to his father

Azar

Do you take

idols

(as) gods

Indeed, I

[I] see you

and your people

in

error

manifest

And thus

We show(ed)

Ibrahim

the kingdom

(of) the heavens

and the earth

so that he would be

among

the ones who are certain

So when

covered

over him

the night

he saw

a star

He said

This

(is) my Lord

But when

it set

he said

Not

(do) I like

the ones that set

When

he saw

the moon

rising

he said

This

(is) my Lord

But when

it set

he said

If

(does) not

guide me

my Lord

I will surely be

among

the people

who went astray

When

he saw

the sun

rising

he said

This (is)

my Lord

this (is)

greater

But when

it set

he said

O my people

Indeed, I am

free

of what

you associate (with Allah)

Indeed, I

[I] have turned

my face

to the One Who

created

the heavens

and the earth

(as) a true monotheist

and not

I (am)

of

the polytheists

And argued with him

his people

He said

Do you argue with me

concerning

Allah

while certainly

He has guided me

And not

(do) I fear

what

you associate

with Him

unless

[that]

wills

my Lord

anything

Encompasses

my Lord

every

thing

(in) knowledge

Then will not

you take heed

And how

could I fear

what

you associate (with Allah)

while not

you fear

that you

have associated

with Allah

what

not

did He send down

for it

to you

any authority

So which

(of) the two parties

has more right

to security

if

you

know
