Ibrāhīm

Alif, Lām, Rā. [This is] a Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], that you might bring mankind out of darknesses into the light by permission of their Lord to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy.

And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.'

And those who disbelieved said to their messengers, 'We will surely drive you out of our land, or you must return to our religion.'

And Shayṭān will say when the matter has been concluded, 'Indeed, Allah had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me.'

Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, its root firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?

And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any stability.

Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly life and in the Hereafter.

And He gave you from all that you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them.

And [mention] when Ibrāhīm said, 'My Lord, make this city secure, and keep me and my children away from worshipping idols.'

Our Lord, indeed I have settled some of my descendants in a valley without vegetation near Your sacred House.

Praise to Allah, who has granted me in old age Ismā'īl and Isḥāq. Indeed, my Lord is the Hearer of supplication.

My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.

Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers the Day the account is established.

And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare in horror.

Racing ahead, their heads raised up, their eyes fixed, and their hearts empty.

So never think that Allah will fail in His promise to His messengers. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Owner of Vengeance.

The Day the earth will be replaced by another earth, and the heavens [as well].

This [Qur'ān] is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby.
