۞ وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qāla Ibrahim ib'rāhīmu to his father li-abīhi Azar āzara Do you take atattakhidhu idols aṣnāman (as) gods ālihatan Indeed, I innī [I] see you arāka and your people waqawmaka in fī error ḍalālin manifest mubīnin
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Abraham said to his father Āzar, "Do you take idols as deities? Indeed, I see you and your people to be in manifest error."
وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus wakadhālika We show(ed) nurī Ibrahim ib'rāhīma the kingdom malakūta (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi so that he would be waliyakūna among mina the ones who are certain l-mūqinīna
And thus did We show Abraham the realm of the heavens and the earth that he would be among the certain [in faith].
فَلَمَّا So when falammā covered janna over him ʿalayhi the night al-laylu he saw raā a star kawkaban He said qāla This hādhā (is) my Lord rabbī But when falammā it set afala he said qāla Not lā (do) I like uḥibbu the ones that set l-āfilīna
So when the night covered him [with darkness], he saw a star. He said, "This is my lord."1 But when it set, he said, "I like not those that set [i.e., disappear]."
فَلَمَّا When falammā he saw raā the moon l-qamara rising bāzighan he said qāla This hādhā (is) my Lord rabbī But when falammā it set afala he said qāla If la-in (does) not lam guide me yahdinī my Lord rabbī I will surely be la-akūnanna among mina the people l-qawmi who went astray l-ḍālīna
And when he saw the moon rising, he said, "This is my lord." But when it set, he said, "Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the people gone astray."
فَلَمَّا When falammā he saw raā the sun l-shamsa rising bāzighatan he said qāla This (is) hādhā my Lord rabbī this (is) hādhā greater akbaru But when falammā it set afalat he said qāla O my people yāqawmi Indeed, I am innī free barīon of what mimmā you associate (with Allah) tush'rikūna
And when he saw the sun rising, he said, "This is my lord; this is greater." But when it set, he said, "O my people, indeed I am free from what you associate with Allāh.
إِنِّى Indeed, I innī [I] have turned wajjahtu my face wajhiya to the One Who lilladhī created faṭara the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍa (as) a true monotheist ḥanīfan and not wamā I (am) anā of mina the polytheists l-mush'rikīna
Indeed, I have turned my face [i.e., self] toward He who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others with Allāh."
وَحَآجَّهُۥ And argued with him waḥājjahu his people qawmuhu He said qāla Do you argue with me atuḥājjūnnī concerning fī Allah l-lahi while certainly waqad He has guided me hadāni And not walā (do) I fear akhāfu what mā you associate tush'rikūna with Him bihi unless illā [that] an wills yashāa my Lord rabbī anything shayan Encompasses wasiʿa my Lord rabbī every kulla thing shayin (in) knowledge ʿil'man Then will not afalā you take heed tatadhakkarūna
And his people argued with him. He said, "Do you argue with me concerning Allāh while He has guided me? And I fear not what you associate with Him [and will not be harmed] unless my Lord should will something. My Lord encompasses all things in knowledge; then will you not remember?
وَكَيْفَ And how wakayfa could I fear akhāfu what mā you associate (with Allah) ashraktum while not walā you fear takhāfūna that you annakum have associated ashraktum with Allah bil-lahi what mā not lam did He send down yunazzil for it bihi to you ʿalaykum any authority sul'ṭānan So which fa-ayyu (of) the two parties l-farīqayni has more right aḥaqqu to security bil-amni if in you kuntum know taʿlamūna
And how should I fear what you associate while you do not fear that you have associated with Allāh that for which He has not sent down to you any authority? So which of the two parties has more right to security, if you should know?"
