وَهـٰذا ذِكرٌ مُبارَكٌ أَنزَلناهُ ۚ أَفَأَنتُم لَهُ مُنكِرونَ

This, too, is a blessed message that We revealed. Will you then deny it?

وَلَقَد آتَينا إِبراهيمَ رُشدَهُ مِن قَبلُ وَكُنّا بِهِ عالِمينَ

We had previously given Abraham wisdom, and We were well aware of him.

إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ وَقَومِهِ ما هـٰذِهِ التَّماثيلُ الَّتي أَنتُم لَها عاكِفونَ

He questioned his father and his people, “What are these idols to which you are so devoted?”

قالوا وَجَدنا آباءَنا لَها عابِدينَ

They replied, “We found our ancestors worshiping them.”

قالَ لَقَد كُنتُم أَنتُم وَآباؤُكُم في ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ

He stated, “You and your ancestors have been in manifest error.”

قالَ بَل رَبُّكُم رَبُّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ الَّذي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنا عَلىٰ ذٰلِكُم مِنَ الشّاهِدينَ

He responded, “Indeed, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, He who originated them, and I am to this a witness.

وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكيدَنَّ أَصنامَكُم بَعدَ أَن تُوَلّوا مُدبِرينَ

And by God, I will plan against your idols after you have gone away.”

فَجَعَلَهُم جُذاذًا إِلّا كَبيرًا لَهُم لَعَلَّهُم إِلَيهِ يَرجِعونَ

So he reduced them to fragments, except their largest, so they might return to it.

قالوا مَن فَعَلَ هـٰذا بِآلِهَتِنا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظّالِمينَ

They exclaimed, “Who did this to our gods? He must be a villain.”

قالوا سَمِعنا فَتًى يَذكُرُهُم يُقالُ لَهُ إِبراهيمُ

They said, “We heard a young man mention them; his name is Abraham.”
