قالَ أَفَتَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَنفَعُكُم شَيئًا وَلا يَضُرُّكُم

He countered, “Do you then worship, instead of God, things that can neither benefit you at all nor harm you?

أُفٍّ لَكُم وَلِما تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ

Shame on you and what you worship besides God! Do you have any sense?”

قالوا حَرِّقوهُ وَانصُروا آلِهَتَكُم إِن كُنتُم فاعِلينَ

They demanded, “Burn him and support your gods, if you are to act.”

قُلنا يا نارُ كوني بَردًا وَسَلامًا عَلىٰ إِبراهيمَ

We said, “O fire, be cool and safe for Abraham.”

وَأَرادوا بِهِ كَيدًا فَجَعَلناهُمُ الأَخسَرينَ

They plotted to harm him, but We made them the greatest losers.

وَوَهَبنا لَهُ إِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ نافِلَةً ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلنا صالِحينَ

We granted him Isaac and Jacob additionally, and we made each of them righteous.

وَجَعَلناهُم أَئِمَّةً يَهدونَ بِأَمرِنا وَأَوحَينا إِلَيهِم فِعلَ الخَيراتِ وَإِقامَ الصَّلاةِ وَإيتاءَ الزَّكاةِ ۖ وَكانوا لَنا عابِدينَ

We made them leaders who guided by Our command, and We inspired them to do good deeds, establish prayer, and give alms. They were worshippers of Us.

وَلوطًا آتَيناهُ حُكمًا وَعِلمًا وَنَجَّيناهُ مِنَ القَريَةِ الَّتي كانَت تَعمَلُ الخَبائِثَ ۗ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومَ سَوءٍ فاسِقينَ

And to Lot, We gave wisdom and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that practiced the abominations. They were wicked and sinful people.

وَأَدخَلناهُ في رَحمَتِنا ۖ إِنَّهُ مِنَ الصّالِحينَ

We brought him into Our mercy; he was among the righteous.

وَنوحًا إِذ نادىٰ مِن قَبلُ فَاستَجَبنا لَهُ فَنَجَّيناهُ وَأَهلَهُ مِنَ الكَربِ العَظيمِ

And Noah, when he called out to Us before, We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great distress.
