Surah Al-An'aam Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

6:41

بَلْ اِیَّاهُ تَدْعُوْنَ فَیَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُوْنَ اِلَیْهِ اِنْ شَآءَ وَ تَنْسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُوْنَ۠(۴۱)

No: You will call to Him alone; and He will, if He please, remove (the distress) for which you had called Him; and forget those you associate as compeers (with Him)

"Nay,- On Him would ye call, and if it be His will, He would remove (the distress) which occasioned your call upon Him, and ye would forget (the false gods) which ye join with Him!"

6:42

وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلٰۤى اُمَمٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِالْبَاْسَآءِ وَ الضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَضَرَّعُوْنَ(۴۲)

We have indeed sent (apostles) to many a people before you, and inflicted upon them hardships and afflictions so that they might submit.

Before thee We sent (messengers) to many nations, and We afflicted the nations with suffering and adversity, that they might learn humility.

6:43

فَلَوْ لَاۤ اِذْ جَآءَهُمْ بَاْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوْا وَ لٰكِنْ قَسَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَ زَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۴۳)

Then why did they not submit when Our punishment came upon them? But their hearts were hardened, and Satan made things they were doing look attractive to them.

When the suffering reached them from us, why then did they not learn humility? On the contrary their hearts became hardened, and Satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them.

6:44

فَلَمَّا نَسُوْا مَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖ فَتَحْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ اَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَیْءٍؕ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا فَرِحُوْا بِمَاۤ اُوْتُوْۤا اَخَذْنٰهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَاِذَا هُمْ مُّبْلِسُوْنَ(۴۴)

When they had become oblivious of what they were warned, We opened wide the gates of everything to them; yet as they rejoiced at what they were given, We caught them unawares, and they were filled with despair.

But when they forgot the warning they had received, We opened to them the gates of all (good) things, until, in the midst of their enjoyment of Our gifts, on a sudden, We called them to account, when lo! they were plunged in despair!

6:45

فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْاؕ-وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۴۵)

Thus were the wicked people rooted out of existence to the last. All praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.

Of the wrong-doers the last remnant was cut off. Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds.

6:46

قُلْ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَ اَبْصَارَكُمْ وَ خَتَمَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِكُمْ مَّنْ اِلٰهٌ غَیْرُ اللّٰهِ یَاْتِیْكُمْ بِهٖؕ-اُنْظُرْ كَیْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰیٰتِ ثُمَّ هُمْ یَصْدِفُوْنَ(۴۶)

Say: "Imagine if God takes away your hearing and sight, and sets a seal on your hearts, what deity other than God will restore them to you?" See how We inflect Our signs: Even then they turn aside.

Say: "Think ye, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who - a god other than Allah - could restore them to you?" See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside.

6:47

قُلْ اَرَءَیْتَكُمْ اِنْ اَتٰىكُمْ عَذَابُ اللّٰهِ بَغْتَةً اَوْ جَهْرَةً هَلْ یُهْلَكُ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ(۴۷)

Say: "Imagine if the punishment of God were to come unawares, or openly, who will perish but the evil-doers?"

Say: "Think ye, if the punishment of Allah comes to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?

6:48

وَ مَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرِیْنَ وَ مُنْذِرِیْنَۚ-فَمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَ اَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ لَا هُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ(۴۸)

We do not send apostles but to give good tidings and to warn. Then those who believe or reform will have neither fear nor regret.

We send the messengers only to give good news and to warn: so those who believe and mend (their lives),- upon them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

6:49

وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا یَمَسُّهُمُ الْعَذَابُ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْسُقُوْنَ(۴۹)

But those who deny Our messages will be seized by nemesis for being disobedient.

But those who reject our signs,- them shall punishment touch, for that they ceased not from transgressing.

6:50

قُلْ لَّاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِیْ خَزَآىٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَ لَاۤ اَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ وَ لَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ اِنِّیْ مَلَكٌۚ-اِنْ اَتَّبِـعُ اِلَّا مَا یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیَّؕ-قُلْ هَلْ یَسْتَوِی الْاَعْمٰى وَ الْبَصِیْرُؕ-اَفَلَا تَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ۠(۵۰)

Tell them: "I do not say that I possess the treasures of God, or have knowledge of the Unknown, or that I am an angel. I only follow what is sent down to me." And say: "How can a blind man and a man who can see, be alike? Will you not reflect?"

Say: "I tell you not that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor do I tell you I am an angel. I but follow what is revealed to me." Say: "can the blind be held equal to the seeing?" Will ye then consider not?

6:51

وَ اَنْذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِیْنَ یَخَافُوْنَ اَنْ یُّحْشَرُوْۤا اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْ لَیْسَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ وَلِیٌّ وَّ لَا شَفِیْعٌ لَّعَلَّهُمْ یَتَّقُوْنَ(۵۱)

Warn those who fear, through this (Qur´an), that they will be gathered before their Lord, and they will have none to protect or intercede for them apart from Him. They may haply take heed for themselves.

Give this warning to those in whose (hearts) is the fear that they will be brought (to judgment) before their Lord: except for Him they will have no protector nor intercessor: that they may guard (against evil).

6:52

وَ لَا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدٰوةِ وَ الْعَشِیِّ یُرِیْدُوْنَ وَجْهَهٗؕ-مَا عَلَیْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ وَّ مَا مِنْ حِسَابِكَ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ فَتَطْرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۵۲)

Do not turn away those who supplicate their Lord morning and evening, seeking His magnificence. You are not accountable for them in the least, nor they for you at all. If you drive them away you will only be unjust.

Send not away those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His face. In naught art thou accountable for them, and in naught are they accountable for thee, that thou shouldst turn them away, and thus be (one) of the unjust.

6:53

وَ كَذٰلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لِّیَقُوْلُوْۤا اَهٰۤؤُلَآءِ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنْۢ بَیْنِنَاؕ-اَلَیْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِالشّٰكِرِیْنَ(۵۳)

Thus do We try men through one another so that they may ask: "Are these the ones of all of us who have been favoured by God?" Does God not know who are the grateful?

Thus did We try some of them by comparison with others, that they should say: "Is it these then that Allah hath favoured from amongst us?" Doth not Allah know best those who are grateful?

6:54

وَ اِذَا جَآءَكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاٰیٰتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلٰى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَۙ-اَنَّهٗ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ سُوْٓءًۢا بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ وَ اَصْلَحَ فَاَنَّهٗ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۵۴)

When those who believe in Our revelations come to you, say to them: "Peace on you." Your Lord has prescribed grace for Himself, so that in case one of you commits evil out of ignorance, then feels repentant and reforms, He may be forgiving and kind.

When those come to thee who believe in Our signs, Say: "Peace be on you: Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) mercy: verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), lo! He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

6:55

وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ وَ لِتَسْتَبِیْنَ سَبِیْلُ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ۠(۵۵)

Thus distinctly do We explain Our signs that the way of sinners may become distinct.

Thus do We explain the signs in detail: that the way of the sinners may be shown up.

6:56

قُلْ اِنِّیْ نُهِیْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ الَّذِیْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-قُلْ لَّاۤ اَتَّبِـعُ اَهْوَآءَكُمْۙ-قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ اِذًا وَّ مَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِیْنَ(۵۶)

Tell them: "I am forbidden to worship those you invoke apart from God." And say: "I will not follow your wishes. If I do, I shall be lost and not be one of those who follow the right path."

Say: "I am forbidden to worship those - others than Allah - whom ye call upon." Say: "I will not follow your wain desires: If I did, I would stray from the path, and be not of the company of those who receive guidance."

6:57

قُلْ اِنِّیْ عَلٰى بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَ كَذَّبْتُمْ بِهٖؕ-مَا عِنْدِیْ مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ بِهٖؕ-اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِؕ-یَقُصُّ الْحَقَّ وَ هُوَ خَیْرُ الْفٰصِلِیْنَ(۵۷)

Tell them: "A clear proof has come to me from my Lord, and Him you deny. But what you wish to be hastened is not within my power. The judgement is only God´s. He unfolds the Truth, and is the best of judges."

Say: "For me, I (work) on a clear sign from my Lord, but ye reject Him. What ye would see hastened, is not in my power. The command rests with none but Allah: He declares the truth, and He is the best of judges."

6:58

قُلْ لَّوْ اَنَّ عِنْدِیْ مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ بِهٖ لَقُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ بَیْنِیْ وَ بَیْنَكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِالظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۵۸)

Say: "If what you wish to be hastened were in my power, all matters between you and me would have been settled; God is cognisant of those who are unjust."

Say: "If what ye would see hastened were in my power, the matter would be settled at once between you and me. But Allah knoweth best those who do wrong."

6:59

وَ عِنْدَهٗ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَیْبِ لَا یَعْلَمُهَاۤ اِلَّا هُوَؕ-وَ یَعْلَمُ مَا فِی الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِؕ-وَ مَا تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَّرَقَةٍ اِلَّا یَعْلَمُهَا وَ لَا حَبَّةٍ فِیْ ظُلُمٰتِ الْاَرْضِ وَ لَا رَطْبٍ وَّ لَا یَابِسٍ اِلَّا فِیْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِیْنٍ(۵۹)

He has the keys of the Unknown. No one but He has knowledge; He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor a grain in the darkest (recess) of the earth, nor any thing green or seared that is not recorded in the open book (of nature).

With Him are the keys of the unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (to those who can read).

6:60

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ یَتَوَفّٰىكُمْ بِالَّیْلِ وَ یَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُمْ بِالنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ یَبْعَثُكُمْ فِیْهِ لِیُقْضٰۤى اَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّىۚ-ثُمَّ اِلَیْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ثُمَّ یُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ۠(۶۰)

It is He indeed who sends you to death at night, and knows what you do in the day, then makes you rise with it again in order that the fixed term of life be fulfilled. Then to Him you will be returned when He will tell you what you did.

It is He who doth take your souls by night, and hath knowledge of all that ye have done by day: by day doth He raise you up again; that a term appointed be fulfilled; In the end unto Him will be your return; then will He show you the truth of all that ye did.

6:61

وَ هُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهٖ وَ یُرْسِلُ عَلَیْكُمْ حَفَظَةًؕ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا جَآءَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَ هُمْ لَا یُفَرِّطُوْنَ(۶۱)

He has power over His creatures, and appoints guardians to watch over them. When death comes to one of you, Our messengers take away his soul, and do not falter.

He is the irresistible, (watching) from above over His worshippers, and He sets guardians over you. At length, when death approaches one of you, Our angels take his soul, and they never fail in their duty.

6:62

ثُمَّ رُدُّوْۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَوْلٰىهُمُ الْحَقِّؕ-اَلَا لَهُ الْحُكْمُ- وَ هُوَ اَسْرَعُ الْحٰسِبِیْنَ(۶۲)

Then they are taken to God, their real lord and master. His indeed is the judgement; and He is swift at reckoning.

Then are men returned unto Allah, their protector, the (only) reality: Is not His the command? and He is the swiftest in taking account.

6:63

قُلْ مَنْ یُّنَجِّیْكُمْ مِّنْ ظُلُمٰتِ الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ تَدْعُوْنَهٗ تَضَرُّعًا وَّ خُفْیَةًۚ-لَىٕنْ اَنْجٰىنَا مِنْ هٰذِهٖ لَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الشّٰكِرِیْنَ(۶۳)

Ask: "Who is it who comes to your rescue in the darkness of the desert and the sea, and whom you supplicate humbly and unseen: ´If You deliver us from this, we shall indeed he grateful?´

Say: "Who is it that delivereth you from the dark recesses of land and sea, when ye call upon Him in humility and silent terror: 'If He only delivers us from these (dangers), (we vow) we shall truly show our gratitude'?"

6:64

قُلِ اللّٰهُ یُنَجِّیْكُمْ مِّنْهَا وَ مِنْ كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ثُمَّ اَنْتُمْ تُشْرِكُوْنَ(۶۴)

Say: "God delivers you from this and every calamity. Even then you ascribe compeers (to Him)!"

Say "It is Allah that delivereth you from these and all (other) distresses: and yet ye worship false gods!"

6:65

قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلٰۤى اَنْ یَّبْعَثَ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِّنْ فَوْقِكُمْ اَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ اَرْجُلِكُمْ اَوْ یَلْبِسَكُمْ شِیَعًا وَّ یُذِیْقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَاْسَ بَعْضٍؕ-اُنْظُرْ كَیْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰیٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَفْقَهُوْنَ(۶۵)

Say: "He has power to send you retribution from the skies above, or the earth beneath your feet, or confound you with divisions among you, and give one the taste of the vengeance of the other." See, how distinctly We explain Our signs that they may understand.

Say: "He hath power to send calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, giving you a taste of mutual vengeance - each from the other." See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); that they may understand.

6:66

وَ كَذَّبَ بِهٖ قَوْمُكَ وَ هُوَ الْحَقُّؕ-قُلْ لَّسْتُ عَلَیْكُمْ بِوَكِیْلٍؕ(۶۶)

This (Book) has been called by your people a falsehood though it is the truth. Say: "I am not a warden over you."

But thy people reject this, though it is the truth. Say: "Not mine is the responsibility for arranging your affairs;

6:67

لِكُلِّ نَبَاٍ مُّسْتَقَرٌّ٘-وَّ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ(۶۷)

A time is fixed for every prophecy; you will come to know in time.

For every message is a limit of time, and soon shall ye know it."

6:68

وَ اِذَا رَاَیْتَ الَّذِیْنَ یَخُوْضُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِنَا فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى یَخُوْضُوْا فِیْ حَدِیْثٍ غَیْرِهٖؕ-وَ اِمَّا یُنْسِیَنَّكَ الشَّیْطٰنُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرٰى مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۶۸)

When you see them argue about Our messages, withdraw from their company until they begin to talk of other things. In case the Devil makes you forget, leave the company of these unjust people the moment you remember this.

When thou seest men engaged in vain discourse about Our signs, turn away from them unless they turn to a different theme. If Satan ever makes thee forget, then after recollection, sit not thou in the company of those who do wrong.

6:69

وَ مَا عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ یَتَّقُوْنَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ وَّ لٰكِنْ ذِكْرٰى لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَّقُوْنَ(۶۹)

As for the heedful and devout, they are not accountable for them, but should give advice: They may haply come to fear God.

On their account no responsibility falls on the righteous, but (their duty) is to remind them, that they may (learn to) fear Allah.

6:70

وَ ذَرِ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا دِیْنَهُمْ لَعِبًا وَّ لَهْوًا وَّ غَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا وَ ذَكِّرْ بِهٖۤ اَنْ تُبْسَلَ نَفْسٌۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ﳓ لَیْسَ لَهَا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِیٌّ وَّ لَا شَفِیْعٌۚ-وَ اِنْ تَعْدِلْ كُلَّ عَدْلٍ لَّا یُؤْخَذْ مِنْهَاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ اُبْسِلُوْا بِمَا كَسَبُوْاۚ-لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِیْمٍ وَّ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْفُرُوْنَ۠(۷۰)

Leave those alone who have made a sport and frolic of their faith, and have been seduced by the life of this world. Remind them hereby lest a man is doomed for what he has done. He will have none to help him, or intercede for him, other than God; and even if he offer all the ransoms they will not be accepted from him. They are those who will be destroyed by their own acts. There will be scalding water to drink for them and painful punishment, for they had disbelieved.

Leave alone those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But proclaim (to them) this (truth): that every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own acts: it will find for itself no protector or intercessor except Allah: if it offered every ransom, (or reparation), none will be accepted: such is (the end of) those who deliver themselves to ruin by their own acts: they will have for drink (only) boiling water, and for punishment, one most grievous: for they persisted in rejecting Allah.

6:71

قُلْ اَنَدْعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا یَنْفَعُنَا وَ لَا یَضُرُّنَا وَ نُرَدُّ عَلٰۤى اَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰىنَا اللّٰهُ كَالَّذِی اسْتَهْوَتْهُ الشَّیٰطِیْنُ فِی الْاَرْضِ حَیْرَانَ۪-لَهٗۤ اَصْحٰبٌ یَّدْعُوْنَهٗۤ اِلَى الْهُدَى ائْتِنَاؕ-قُلْ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰىؕ-وَ اُمِرْنَا لِنُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَۙ(۷۱)

Say: ´Should we call in place of God one who can neither help nor do us harm, and turn back after having been guided by God, like a man beguiled by the devils who wanders perplexed in the wilderness while his friends call him back to the right path, saying: ´Come to us, this way?´ Say: "God´s guidance is (true) guidance, and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of all the worlds.

Say: "Shall we indeed call on others besides Allah,- things that can do us neither good nor harm,- and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? - like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, come to us', (vainly) guiding him to the path." Say: "Allah's guidance is the (only) guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds;-

6:72

وَ اَنْ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اتَّقُوْهُؕ-وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ(۷۲)

Observe (your) devotional obligations and fear (God), for it is He before whom you will be gathered (in the end)."

"To establish regular prayers and to fear Allah: for it is to Him that we shall be gathered together."

6:73

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّؕ-وَ یَوْمَ یَقُوْلُ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ ﱟ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّؕ-وَ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ یَوْمَ یُنْفَخُ فِی الصُّوْرِؕ-عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِؕ-وَ هُوَ الْحَكِیْمُ الْخَبِیْرُ(۷۳)

It is He who created the heavens and the earth with a definite purpose. The day He will say "Be, " it will be. His word is the truth, His alone the power on the Day when the blast of the trumpet will be sounded. He knows the hidden and the visible. He is all-prudent and all-knowing.

It is He who created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): the day He saith, "Be," behold! it is. His word is the truth. His will be the dominion the day the trumpet will be blown. He knoweth the unseen as well as that which is open. For He is the Wise, well acquainted (with all things).

6:74

وَ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهِیْمُ لِاَبِیْهِ اٰزَرَ اَتَتَّخِذُ اَصْنَامًا اٰلِهَةًۚ-اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىكَ وَ قَوْمَكَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ(۷۴)

Remember when Abraham said to Azar, his father: "Why do you take idols for God? I certainly find you and your people in error."

Lo! Abraham said to his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error."

6:75

وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُرِیْۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ مَلَكُوْتَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ لِیَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُوْقِنِیْنَ(۷۵)

Thus We showed to Abraham the visible and invisible world of the heavens and the earth, that he could be among those who believe.

So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude.

6:76

فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَیْهِ الَّیْلُ رَاٰ كَوْكَبًاۚ-قَالَ هٰذَا رَبِّیْۚ-فَلَمَّاۤ اَفَلَ قَالَ لَاۤ اُحِبُّ الْاٰفِلِیْنَ(۷۶)

When the night came with her covering of darkness he saw a star, and (Azar, his father) said: "This is my Lord." But when the star set, (Abraham) said: "I love not those that wane."

When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This is my Lord." But when it set, He said: "I love not those that set."

6:77

فَلَمَّا رَاَ الْقَمَرَ بَازِغًا قَالَ هٰذَا رَبِّیْۚ-فَلَمَّاۤ اَفَلَ قَالَ لَىٕنْ لَّمْ یَهْدِنِیْ رَبِّیْ لَاَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الضَّآلِّیْنَ(۷۷)

When (Azar) saw the moon rise all aglow, he said: "This is my Lord." But even as the moon set, (Abraham) said: "If my Lord had not shown me the way I would surely have gone astray."

When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord." But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray."

6:78

فَلَمَّا رَاَ الشَّمْسَ بَازِغَةً قَالَ هٰذَا رَبِّیْ هٰذَاۤ اَكْبَرُۚ-فَلَمَّاۤ اَفَلَتْ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اِنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَ(۷۸)

When (Azar) saw the sun rise all resplendent, he said: "My Lord is surely this, and the greatest of them all." But the sun also set, and (Abraham) said: "O my people, I am through with those you associate (with God).

When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.

6:79

اِنِّیْ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِیَ لِلَّذِیْ فَطَرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ حَنِیْفًا وَّ مَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَۚ(۷۹)

I have truly turned my face towards Him who created the heavens and the earth: I have chosen one way and am not an idolater."

"For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah."

6:80

وَ حَآجَّهٗ قَوْمُهٗؕ-قَالَ اَتُحَآجُّوْٓنِّیْ فِی اللّٰهِ وَ قَدْ هَدٰىنِؕ-وَ لَاۤ اَخَافُ مَا تُشْرِكُوْنَ بِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّشَآءَ رَبِّیْ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-وَسِعَ رَبِّیْ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ عِلْمًاؕ-اَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ(۸۰)

His people argued, and he said: "Do you argue with me about God? He has guided me already, and I fear not what you associate with Him, unless my Lord wills, for held within the knowledge of my Lord is everything. Will you not reflect?

His people disputed with him. He said: "(Come) ye to dispute with me, about Allah, when He (Himself) hath guided me? I fear not (the beings) ye associate with Allah: Unless my Lord willeth, (nothing can happen). My Lord comprehendeth in His knowledge all things. Will ye not (yourselves) be admonished?
