The Story of Ibrahim, Ishaq and Yaqub

Commemorate Abraham in the Book: He was upright, a prophet.

Remember, when he said to his father: "O my father, why do you worship that which can neither hear nor see nor even profit you the least?

O my father, to me has come such knowledge as never came to you. So follow me that I may show you the right path.

Why do you worship Satan, O father? Verily Satan was disobedient to Ar-Rahman.

O my father, I fear lest a punishment from Ar-Rahman should befall you, and you should become a friend of the Devil."

He said: "Are you averse to my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I shall have you stoned to death. So go away for a while from me."

He answered: "Peace be on you. I will seek forgiveness of my Lord for you. He has been gracious to me.

I will leave you and those you invoke apart from God, and pray to my Lord. Haply in praying to my Lord I will not be deprived."

Thus, when he left them and the (idols) they worshipped, We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob, and made each of them a prophet,

And bestowed on them some of Our blessings, and gave them high renown.
