يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People yāahla (of) the Book l-kitābi Why lima (do) you argue tuḥājjūna concerning fī Ibrahim ib'rāhīma while not wamā was revealed unzilati the Taurat l-tawrātu and the Injeel wal-injīlu except illā from min after him baʿdihi Then why don't afalā you use your intellect taʿqilūna
O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason?
هَـٰٓأَنتُمْ Here you are hāantum those who hāulāi argued ḥājajtum about what fīmā [for] you lakum of it bihi (have some) knowledge ʿil'mun Then why falima (do) you argue tuḥājjūna about what fīmā not laysa for you lakum of it bihi (any) knowledge ʿil'mun And Allah wal-lahu knows yaʿlamu while you wa-antum (do) not lā know taʿlamūna
Here you are - those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allāh knows, while you know not.
مَا Not mā was kāna Ibrahim ib'rāhīmu a Jew yahūdiyyan and not walā a Christian naṣrāniyyan [and] but walākin he was kāna a true ḥanīfan Muslim mus'liman and not wamā he was kāna from mina the polytheists l-mush'rikīna
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allāh]. And he was not of the polytheists.
إِنَّ Indeed inna the best to claim relationship awlā (of) people l-nāsi with Ibrahim bi-ib'rāhīma (are) those who lalladhīna follow him ittabaʿūhu and this wahādhā [the] Prophet l-nabiyu and those who wa-alladhīna believe[d] āmanū And Allah wal-lahu (is) a Guardian waliyyu (of) the believers l-mu'minīna
Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allāh] and this prophet [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those who believe [in his message]. And Allāh is the Ally of the believers.
