Chapter 21, Page 327, Juz 17

51. And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him, 52. When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion? 53. They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them. 54. He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error. 55. They said: Bringest thou unto us the truth, or art thou some jester? 56. He said: Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that. 57. And, by Allah, I shall circumvent your idols after ye have gone away and turned your backs. 58. Then he reduced them to fragments, all save the chief of them, that haply they might have recourse to it. 59. They said: Who hath done this to our gods? Surely it must be some evil-doer. 60. They said: We heard a youth make mention of them, who is called Abraham. 61. They said: Then bring him (hither) before the people's eyes that they may testify. 62. They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods, O Abraham? 63. He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak. 64. Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong-doers. 65. And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not. 66. He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you? 67. Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense? 68. They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing. 69. We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham, 70. And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers. 71. And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples.
