Chapter 26, Page 370, Juz 19

69. Tell them the story of Abraham, 70. when he asked his father and his people, ‘What do you worship?’ 71. They said, ‘We worship idols, and are constantly in attendance on them.’ 72. He asked, ‘Do they hear you when you call? 73. Do they help or harm you?’ 74. They replied, ‘No, but this is what we saw our fathers doing.’ 75. Abraham said, ‘Those idols you have worshipped, 76. you and your forefathers, 77. are my enemies; not so the Lord of the Worlds, 78. who created me. It is He who guides me; 79. He who gives me food and drink; 80. He who cures me when I am ill; 81. He who will make me die and then give me life again; 82. and He who will, I hope, forgive my faults on the Day of Judgement. 83. My Lord, grant me wisdom; join me with the righteous; 84. give me a good name among later generations; 85. make me one of those given the Garden of Bliss- 86. forgive my father, for he is one of those who have gone astray- 87. and do not disgrace me on the Day when all people are resurrected: 88. the Day when neither wealth nor children can help, 89. when the only one who will be saved is the one who comes before God with a heart devoted to Him.’ 90. When the Garden is brought near to the righteous 91. and the Fire is placed in full view of the misguided, 92. it will be said to them, ‘Where are those you worshipped 93. beside God? Can they help you now, or even help themselves?’ 94. and then they will all be hurled into Hell, together with those that misled them, 95. and all Iblis’s supporters. 96. There they will say to their gods, as they bicker among themselves, 97. ‘We were clearly misguided 98. when we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds. 99. It was the evildoers who led us astray, 100. and now we have no intercessor 101. and no true friend. 102. If only we could live our lives again, we would be true believers!’ 103. There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe: 104. your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful.
