SURA ANBIYAA
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

We bestowed aforetime on Abraham his rectitude of conduct, and well were We acquainted with him.
Behold! he said to his father and his people, "What are these images, to which ye are (so assiduously) devoted?"
They said, "We found our father worshipping them."
He said, "Indeed ye have been in manifest error -- ye and your fathers."
They said, "Have you brought us the Truth, or are you one of those who jest?"
He said, "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, He Who created them (from nothing): And I am a witness to this (truth).
And by Allah, I have a plan for your idols -- after ye go away and turn your backs"...
So he broke them to pieces, (all) but the biggest of them, that they might turn (and address themselves) to it.
They said, "Who has done this to our gods? He must indeed be some man of impiety!"
They said, "We heard a youth talk of them: He is called Abraham."
They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may bear witness."
They said, "Art thou the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?"
He said: "Nay, this was done by this is their is their biggest one! Ask them, if they can speak intelligently!"
So they turned to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!"
Then were they confounded with shame: (They said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"
(Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?
"Fie upon you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah! have ye no sense?"...
They said, "Burn him and protect your gods, if ye do (anything at all)!"
We said, "O fire! be thou cool. And (a means of)) safety for Abraham!"
Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most!
But We delivered him and (his nephew) Lut (and directed them) to the land which We have blessed for the nations.
And We bestowed on him Isaac and, as an additional gift, (a grandson), Jacob, and We made righteous men of every one (of them).
And We made them leaders, guiding (men) by Our Command, and We sent them inspiration to do good deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practice regular charity; and they constantly served Us (and Us only).
And to Lut, too, we gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from the town which practiced abominations: Truly they were a people given to Evil, a rebellious people.
And We admitted him to Our Mercy: For he was one of the Righteous.
