Andbefore that We gave Abraham his understanding, and We were aware of him.

As he said to his father and people: "What are these images to which you are devoted?"

They said: "We found our fathers worshipping them."

He said: "You and your fathers have been clearly misguided."

They said: "Have you come to us with the truth, or are you simply playing?"

He said: "No, your lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the One who initiated them. And I bear witness to such."

"And by God, I will plan against your statues after you have gone away and given your backs."

So he broke them into pieces except for the biggest of them, so that they may turn to him.

They said: "Who has done this to our gods? He is surely one of the wicked."

They said: "We heard a young man mentioning them. He was called Abraham."

They said: "Bring him before the eyes of the people so that they may be witness."

They said: "Did you do this to our gods O Abraham?"

He said: "It was the biggest one of them here who did it, so ask them, if they do speak!"

So they turned and said to themselves: "It is indeed ourselves who have been wicked!"

Then they returned to their old ideas: "You know that they do not speak!"

He said: "Do you serve besides God that which does not benefit you at all nor harm you?"

"I am fed-up of you and to what you serve besides God! Do you not comprehend?"

They said: "If you are to do anything, then burn him, and give victory to your gods."

We said: "O fire, be cool and safe upon Abraham."

Andthey wanted to plan against him, but We made them the losers.

AndWe saved him and Lot to the land which We have blessed in for the worlds.

AndWe granted him Isaac and, as an addition, Jacob. And each of them We made a good doer.

AndWe made them leaders who guide by Our command, and We inspired them to do good works and hold the contact prayer and contribute towards purification, and they were in service to Us.

AndLot, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, and We saved him from the town that used to do vile things. They were a people of evil, wicked.

AndWe admitted him into Our mercy. He was of the good doers.

AndNoah when he called out before that, thus We responded to him, and We saved him and his family from the great distress.

AndWe granted him victory against the people who denied Our revelations. They were a people of evil, so We drowned them all.

AndDavid and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the case of the crop that was damaged by the sheep of the people, and We were witness to their judgment.

So We gave Solomon the correct understanding, and both of them We have given wisdom and knowledge. And We commissioned the mountains with David to praise, and the birds. This is what We did.

AndWe taught him the making of armor for you to protect you from your enemy. Are you then thankful?

Andto Solomon the gusting winds run by his command all the way to the land which We have blessed in. And We were aware of everything.

Andfrom the devils are those who dive for him, and they perform other tasks, and We were guardian over them.

AndJob when he called his Lord: "I have been afflicted with harm, and you are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!"

So We answered him, and We removed what was afflicting him, and We brought him back his family and others with them as a mercy from Us and a reminder to those who serve.

AndIshmael and Enoch and Isaiah, all of them were patient.

AndWe admitted them in Our mercy, they were of the good doers.

Andthe one with 'N,' when he went off in anger, and he thought that We would not be able to take him. Then he called out in the darkness: "There is no god except You! Glory be to You, I was of the wicked!"

So We responded to him and We saved him from distress. And it is such that We save the faithful.

AndZachariah when he called out to his Lord: "My Lord, do not leave me without an heir, and You are the best inheritor."

So We responded to him, and We granted him John, and We cured his wife. They used to hasten to do good, and they would call to Us in joy and in fear. And of Us they were reverent.

Andthe one who protected her chastity, so We blew into her from Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.

This is your nation, one nation, and I am your Lord so serve Me.

Andthey disputed in the matter among themselves. Each of them will be returned to Us.

So whoever does good works and he is a believer, then his efforts will not be rejected and We will record it for him.

And it is forbidden for a town that We destroy, that they return!

Until Gog and Magog is opened, and from every elevated place they will race forth.

Andthe promise of truth draws near. Then, when it is seen by the eyes of those who rejected: "Woe to us, we have been oblivious to this. Indeed, we were wicked!"

Both you and what you serve besides God shall be fuel for Hell; you will enter it.

If these had been gods, then they would not have entered it! And all will abide therein.

They will be breathing heavily in it, and they will not be heard therein.
