Translation of Verse 71-82

71. Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, "Should we invoke, other than Allah, those ˹idols˺ which cannot benefit or harm us, and turn back to disbelief after Allah has guided us? ˹If we do so, we will be˺ like those disoriented by devils in the wilderness, while their companions call them to guidance, ˹saying˺, 'Come to us!' Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Allah's guidance is the ˹only˺ true guidance. And we are commanded to submit to the Lord of all worlds,

72. establish prayer, and be mindful of Him. To Him you will all be gathered together.

73. He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. On the Day ˹of Judgment˺ He will say, 'Be!' And there will be! His command is truth. All authority is His ˹alone˺ 280 on the Day the Trumpet will be blown. 281 He is the Knower of all-seen or unseen. And He is the All-Wise, All-Aware."

74. And ˹remember˺ when Abraham said to his father, Ȃzar, "Do you take idols as gods? It is clear to me that you and your people are entirely misguided."

75. We also showed Abraham the wonders of the heavens and the earth, so he would be sure in faith.

76. When the night grew dark upon him, he saw a star and said, "This is my Lord!" But when it set, he said, "I do not love things that set."

77. Then when he saw the moon rising, he said, "This one is my Lord!" But when it disappeared, he said, "If my Lord does not guide me, I will certainly be one of the misguided people."

78. Then when he saw the sun shining, he said, "This must be my Lord-it is the greatest!" But again when it set, he declared, "O my people! I totally reject whatever you associate ˹with Allah in worship˺.

79. I have turned my face towards the One Who has originated the heavens and the earth-being upright-and I am not one of the polytheists."

80. And his people argued with him. He responded, "Are you arguing with me about Allah, while He has guided me? I am not afraid of whatever ˹idols˺ you associate with Him-˹none can harm me,˺ unless my Lord so wills. My Lord encompasses everything in ˹His˺ knowledge. Will you not be mindful?

81. And how should I fear your associate-gods, while you have no fear in associating ˹others˺ with Allah-a practice He has never authorized? Which side has more right to security? ˹Tell me˺ if you really know!"

82. It is ˹only˺ those who are faithful and do not tarnish their faith with falsehood 282 who are guaranteed security and are ˹rightly˺ guided.


Commentary

280. Allah grants authority to some of His servants in this world, but none will have authority on Judgment Day except Him. See 3:26.

281. On the Day of Judgment, the Trumpet will be blown by an angel- causing all to die. When it is blown a second time, everyone will be raised from the dead for judgment ( see 39:68).

282. i.e., associating false gods in worship with the Almighty.
