فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ

Faja'alahum juzaazan illaa kabeeral lahum la'allahum ilaihi yarji'oon

So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].

قَالُوا مَن فَعَلَ هَٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

Qaaloo man fa'ala haazaa bi aalihatinaaa innahoo laminaz zaalimeen

They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."

قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ

Qaaloo sami'naa fatany yazkuruhum yuqaalu lahooo Ibraaheem

They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."

قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ

Qaaloo faatoo bihee 'alaaa a'yunin naasi la'allahum yash hadoon

They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."

قَالُوا أَأَنتَ فَعَلْتَ هَٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ

Qaalooo 'a-anta fa'alta haazaa bi aalihatinaa yaaa Ibraaheem

They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَٰذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِن كَانُوا يَنطِقُونَ

Qaala bal fa'alahoo kabeeruhum haazaa fas'aloohum in kaanoo yantiqoon

He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

فَرَجَعُوا إِلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

Faraja'ooo ilaaa anfusihim faqaalooo innakum antumuz zaalimoon

So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَٰؤُلَاءِ يَنطِقُونَ

Summa nukisoo 'alaa ru'oosihim laqad 'alimta maa haaa'ulaaa'i yantiqoon

Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ

Qaala afata'budoona min doonil laahi maa laa yanfa'ukum shai'anw wa laa yadurrukum

He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?

أُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Uffil lakum wa limaa ta'budoona min doonil laah; afalaa ta'qiloon

Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then will you not use reason?"

قَالُوا حَرِّقُوهُ وَانصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ

Qaaloo harriqooho wansurooo aalihatakum in kuntum faa'ileen

They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."

قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

Qulnaa yaa naaru koonee bardanw wa salaaman 'alaaa Ibraaheem

Allah said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."

وَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَخْسَرِينَ

Wa araadoo bihee kaidan faja'alnaahumul akhsareen

And they intended for him harm, but We made them the greatest losers.

وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ

Wa najjainaahu wa Lootan ilal ardil latee baaraknaa feehaa lil 'aalameen

And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صَالِحِينَ

Wa wahabnaa lahooo Ishaaq; wa Ya'qooba naafilah; wa kullan ja'alnaa saaliheen

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.
