Chapter 6 : Livestock 74-94

74. And recall when Abraham said to his father Azar (he was in fact his paternal uncle and is called father according to Arabic usage, Azar was Abraham's foster father ,who took care of him after his father passed away , his father's name was Tarakh ): ‘Do you take the idols as gods? Indeed, I find you and your people (engaged) in manifest error.’

75. And in the same way, We showed Abraham all the kingdoms of the heavens and the earth (i.e., the wonders of Our creation) so that he might be one of those who possess the eye of certitude.

76. So when the night spread its darkness over him, he beheld a star and said: ‘Is this my Lord (according to your view)?’ But when it set, he said (communicating to his people): ‘I do not like the setting ones.’

77. Then when he saw the moon shining, he asked: ‘Is this my Lord (according to your view)?’ But when that (also) went down, he said (communicating to his people): ‘Had my Lord not guided me, I would surely have become (like you) one of those who go astray.’

78. Then when he saw the sun shining, he said: ‘Is it my Lord (in your view because) this is the biggest?’ But when that (too) set, he exclaimed: ‘O people! I dissociate myself from (all) those (objects) that you associate (with God ) as His partners.

79. I have indeed turned my face single-mindedly (from all sides) towards that (Being) Who has created the heavens and the earth beyond compare and (beware, for) I am not from amongst the polytheists.’

80. And his people started disputing and contending with him. (Then) he said: ‘Do you dispute with me about God , Who has in fact guided me aright? And I fear not these (false gods) that you associate with Him except that whatever (harm) my Lord may will (He can do). My Lord has encompassed everything with (His) knowledge. So, do you not accept admonition?

81. And why should I fear those you associate with Him, and you do not fear associating others with God for which He sent down to you no authority? Which side is more entitled to security, if you are aware?”

82. Those who believe, and do not obscure their faith with wrongdoing—those will have security, and they are guided.

83. That was Our argument which We gave to Abraham against his people. We elevate by degrees whomever We will. Your Lord is Wise and Informed.

84. And We gave him Isaac and Jacob—each of them We guided. And We guided Noah previously; and from his descendants David, and Solomon, and Job, and Joseph, and Moses, and Aaron. Thus We reward the righteous.

85. And Zechariah, and John, and Jesus, and Elias—every one of them was of the upright.

86. And Ishmael, and Elijah, and Jonah, and Lot—We favored each one of them over all other people.

87. And of their ancestors, and their descendants, and their siblings—We chose them, and guided them to a straight path.

88. Such is God’s guidance. He guides with it whomever He wills of His servants. Had they associated, their deeds would have gone in vain.

89. Those are they to whom We gave the Book, and wisdom, and prophethood. If these reject them, We have entrusted them to others who do not reject them.

90. Those are they whom God has guided, so follow their guidance. Say, “I ask of you no compensation for it; it is just a reminder for all mankind.”
