اِذۡ قَالَ لِاَبِيۡهِ يٰۤـاَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُ وَلَا يُغۡنِىۡ عَنۡكَ شَيۡــًٔـا ٤٢

وَاَنۡذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡحَسۡرَةِ اِذۡ قُضِىَ الۡاَمۡرُۘ وَهُمۡ فِىۡ غَفۡلَةٍ وَّهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ٣٩
19:39And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.
اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَرِثُ الۡاَرۡضَ وَمَنۡ عَلَيۡهَا وَاِلَـيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُوۡنَ ٤٠
19:40Lo! We Only, We inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and unto Us they are returned.
وَاذۡكُرۡ فِى الۡكِتٰبِ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَࣙۙ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّيۡقًا نَّبِيًّا ٤١
19:41And make mention (O Muhammad) in the Scripture of Abraham. Lo! he was a saint, a prophet.
اِذۡ قَالَ لِاَبِيۡهِ يٰۤـاَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُ وَلَا يُغۡنِىۡ عَنۡكَ شَيۡــًٔـا ٤٢
19:42When he said unto his father: O my father! Why worshippest thou that which heareth not nor seeth, nor can in aught avail thee?
يٰۤـاَبَتِ اِنِّىۡ قَدۡ جَآءَنِىۡ مِنَ الۡعِلۡمِ مَا لَمۡ يَاۡتِكَ فَاتَّبِعۡنِىۡۤ اَهۡدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِيًّا ٤٣
19:43O my father! Lo! there hath come unto me of knowledge that which came not unto thee. So follow me, and I will lead thee on a right path.
يٰۤـاَبَتِ لَا تَعۡبُدِ الشَّيۡطٰنَؕ اِنَّ الشَّيۡطٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمٰنِ عَصِيًّا ٤٤
19:44O my father! Serve not the devil. Lo! the devil is a rebel unto the Beneficent.
يٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ اَنۡ يَّمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحۡمٰنِ فَتَكُوۡنَ لِلشَّيۡطٰنِ وَلِيًّا ٤٥
19:45O my father! Lo! I fear lest a punishment from the Beneficent overtake thee so that thou become a comrade of the devil.
قَالَ اَرَاغِبٌ اَنۡتَ عَنۡ اٰلِهَتِىۡ يٰۤاِبۡرٰهِيۡمُۚ لَٮِٕنۡ لَّمۡ تَنۡتَهِ لَاَرۡجُمَنَّكَ وَاهۡجُرۡنِىۡ مَلِيًّا ٤٦
19:46He said: Rejectest thou my gods, O Abraham? If thou cease not, I shall surely stone thee. Depart from me a long while!
قَالَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَيۡكَۚ سَاَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَـكَ رَبِّىۡؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِىۡ حَفِيًّا ٤٧
19:47He said: Peace be unto thee! I shall ask forgiveness of my Lord for thee. Lo! He was ever gracious unto me.
وَاَعۡتَزِلُـكُمۡ وَمَا تَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَاَدۡعُوۡا رَبِّىۡۖ عَسٰٓى اَلَّاۤ اَكُوۡنَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّىۡ شَقِيًّا ٤٨
19:48I shall withdraw from you and that unto which ye pray beside Allah, and I shall pray unto my Lord. It may be that, in prayer unto my Lord, I shall not be unblest.
فَلَمَّا اعۡتَزَلَهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِۙ وَهَبۡنَا لَهٗۤ اِسۡحٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوۡبَؕ وَكُلًّا جَعَلۡنَا نَبِيًّا ٤٩
19:49So, when he had withdrawn from them and that which they were worshipping beside Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made a prophet.
وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ رَّحۡمَتِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لِسَانَ صِدۡقٍ عَلِيًّا ٥٠
19:50And we gave them of Our mercy, and assigned to them a high and true renown.
وَاذۡكُرۡ فِى الۡكِتٰبِ مُوۡسٰٓى اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مُخۡلَصًا وَّكَانَ رَسُوۡلًا نَّبِيًّا ٥١
19:51And make mention in the Scripture of Moses. Lo! he was chosen, and he was a messenger (of Allah), a prophet.
