فَاختَلَفَ الأَحزابُ مِن بَينِهِم ۖ فَوَيلٌ لِلَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن مَشهَدِ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
However, the factions disagreed among themselves. Woe to those who disbelieve—from the scene of a tremendous Day.
أَسمِع بِهِم وَأَبصِر يَومَ يَأتونَنا ۖ لـٰكِنِ الظّالِمونَ اليَومَ في ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ
How keen their hearing, how sharp their sight, the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are in clear error.
وَأَنذِرهُم يَومَ الحَسرَةِ إِذ قُضِيَ الأَمرُ وَهُم في غَفلَةٍ وَهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ
Warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be finalized, while they remain oblivious and they don’t believe.
إِنّا نَحنُ نَرِثُ الأَرضَ وَمَن عَلَيها وَإِلَينا يُرجَعونَ
It is We who will inherit the earth and all who are on it, and to Us, they will be returned.
وَاذكُر فِي الكِتابِ إِبراهيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ صِدّيقًا نَبِيًّا
And mention in the Scripture Abraham, a man of truth, a prophet.
إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ يا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعبُدُ ما لا يَسمَعُ وَلا يُبصِرُ وَلا يُغني عَنكَ شَيئًا
When he said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship what can neither hear nor see and can’t benefit you in any way?
يا أَبَتِ إِنّي قَد جاءَني مِنَ العِلمِ ما لَم يَأتِكَ فَاتَّبِعني أَهدِكَ صِراطًا سَوِيًّا
O my father, a specific knowledge that didn’t come to you has come to me. So follow me, and I will guide you to a straight path.
يا أَبَتِ لا تَعبُدِ الشَّيطانَ ۖ إِنَّ الشَّيطانَ كانَ لِلرَّحمـٰنِ عَصِيًّا
O my father, don’t worship Satan. Satan has been rebellious against the Most Merciful.
يا أَبَتِ إِنّي أَخافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذابٌ مِنَ الرَّحمـٰنِ فَتَكونَ لِلشَّيطانِ وَلِيًّا
My dear father, I fear that a punishment from the Compassionate may afflict you, and you become an ally to Satan.”
قالَ أَراغِبٌ أَنتَ عَن آلِهَتي يا إِبراهيمُ ۖ لَئِن لَم تَنتَهِ لَأَرجُمَنَّكَ ۖ وَاهجُرني مَلِيًّا
He replied, “Are you renouncing my gods, O Abraham? If you don’t desist, I will surely stone you. Now leave me for a long while.”
قالَ سَلامٌ عَلَيكَ ۖ سَأَستَغفِرُ لَكَ رَبّي ۖ إِنَّهُ كانَ بي حَفِيًّا
He responded, “Peace be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord. He is always gracious to me.
