Read Surah Ash-Shuara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

قَالُوْا نَعْبُدُ اَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عٰكِفِیْنَ۝۷۱

They replied: "We worship idols and are devoted to them."

قَالَ هَلْ یَسْمَعُوْنَكُمْ اِذْ تَدْعُوْنَۙ۝۷۲

(Abraham) asked: "Do they hear when you call them?

اَوْ یَنْفَعُوْنَكُمْ اَوْ یَضُرُّوْنَ۝۷۳

Or do they benefit you, or do you harm?"

قَالُوْا بَلْ وَجَدْنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا كَذٰلِكَ یَفْعَلُوْنَ۝۷۴

They said: "No. But we found our fathers doing so."

قَالَ اَفَرَءَیْتُمْ مَّا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُوْنَۙ۝۷۵

He said: "Have you considered what you have been worshipping,

اَنْتُمْ وَ اٰبَآؤُكُمُ الْاَقْدَمُوْنَؗۖ۝۷۶

You and your fathers?

فَاِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّیْۤ اِلَّا رَبَّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَۙ۝۷۷

Yet they are my enemies except the Lord of all the worlds

الَّذِیْ خَلَقَنِیْ فَهُوَ یَهْدِیْنِۙ۝۷۸

Who created me and showed me the way,

وَ الَّذِیْ هُوَ یُطْعِمُنِیْ وَ یَسْقِیْنِۙ۝۷۹

Who gives me food and drink,

وَ اِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ یَشْفِیْنِ۪ۙ۝۸۰

And heals me when I am sick,
