Relate the news of Abraham to them. 69 When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?" 70 They said, "We worship idols, and we keep squatting in seclusion before them." 71 He said: Do they hear you when you call? 72 "Or do they benefit you or harm you?" 73 They said: nay; but we found our fathers doing in this wise. 74 (Abraham) said, "Do you know that what you worship 75 you and your forefathers of yore? 76 "They are all my enemies, except the Lord Of The Creation." 77 who created me. It is He who guides me; 78 "And the One Who feeds me and gives me to drink." 79 and Who, when I am ill, heals me; 80 And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life 81 "And Who, I hope will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection)," 82 "My Lord, bestow me the command and join me with those who deserve your proximity." 83 and appoint me a tongue of truthfulness among the others. 84 And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight, 85 And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err. 86 And humiliate me not on the Day whereon people shall be raised. 87 The day on which property will not avail, nor sons 88 Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (from evil). 89 "To the righteous, the Garden will be brought near, 90 And hell will appear plainly to the erring. 91 "And it shall be said to them: 'Where are the (gods) ye worshipped- 92 Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves? 93 They will then be thrown into Hell with those who had gone astray 94 and the army of satan will all be thrown headlong into hell. 95 And they will say while they dispute with one another, 96 "By Allah, we were surely in clear error 97 When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds. 98 It was but the guilty who misled us. 99 and now we have none to intercede on our behalf, 100 "Nor a caring friend." 101 Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... " 102 Verily! In this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. 103 And indeed your Lord - only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. 104
