وَ لَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ رُشْدَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ كُنَّا بِهٖ عٰلِمِیْنَۚ۝۵۱

We had earlier given Abraham true direction, for We knew him well.

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِیْهِ وَ قَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِیْلُ الَّتِیْۤ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا عٰكِفُوْنَ۝۵۲

When he said to his father and his people: "What are these idols to which you cling so passionately?"

قَالُوْا وَجَدْنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا لَهَا عٰبِدِیْنَ۝۵۳

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

قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ اَنْتُمْ وَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ۝۵۴

He said: "You and your fathers were in clear error."

قَالُوْۤا اَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ اَمْ اَنْتَ مِنَ اللّٰعِبِیْنَ۝۵۵

They said: "Are you speaking in earnest, or only jesting?"

قَالَ بَلْ رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ الَّذِیْ فَطَرَهُنَّ ۖؗ وَ اَنَا عَلٰی ذٰلِكُمْ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِیْنَ۝۵۶

He said: "In fact it was your Lord, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, who created them; and I bear witness to this.

وَ تَاللّٰهِ لَاَكِیْدَنَّ اَصْنَامَكُمْ بَعْدَ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا مُدْبِرِیْنَ۝۵۷

I swear by God I will do something to your idols when you have turned your backs and gone."

فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذٰذًا اِلَّا كَبِیْرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ اِلَیْهِ یَرْجِعُوْنَ۝۵۸

So he smashed them up to pieces with the exception of the biggest, so that they may turn to it.

قَالُوْا مَنْ فَعَلَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَاۤ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ۝۵۹

They asked (on return): "Who has done this to our gods? He is surely a mischief-monger."

قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا فَتًی یَّذْكُرُهُمْ یُقَالُ لَهٗۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمُؕ۝۶۰

They said: "We heard a youth talk about them. He is called Abraham."
