| 6:74 | Lo! Abraham said to his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error." | And when Ibrahim said to his sire, Azar: Do you take idols for gods? Surely I see you and your people in manifest error. | (Remember) when Abraham said unto his father Azar: Takest thou idols for gods ? Lo! I see thee and thy folk in error manifest. |
| 6:75 | So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude. | And thus did We show Ibrahim the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and that he might be of those who are sure. | Thus did We show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that he might be of those possessing certainty: |
| 6:76 | When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This is my Lord." But when it set, He said: "I love not those that set." | So when the night over-shadowed him, he saw a star; said he: Is this my Lord? So when it set, he said: I do not love the setting ones. | When the night grew dark upon him he beheld a star. He said: This is my Lord. But when it set, he said: I love not things that set. |
| 6:77 | When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord." But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray." | Then when he saw the moon rising, he said: Is this my Lord? So when it set, he said: If my Lord had not guided me I should certainly be of the erring people. | And when he saw the moon uprising, he exclaimed: This is my Lord. But when it set, he said: Unless my Lord guide me, I surely shall become one of the folk who are astray. |
| 6:78 | When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to God. | Then when he saw the sun rising, he said: Is this my Lord? Is this the greatest? So when it set, he said: O my people! surely I am clear of what you set up (with Allah). | And when he saw the sun uprising, he cried: This is my Lord! This is greater! And when it set he exclaimed: O my people! Lo! I am free from all that ye associate (with Him). |
| 6:79 | "For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to God." | Surely I have turned myself, being upright, wholly to Him Who originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not of the polytheists. | Lo! I have turned my face toward Him Who created the heavens and the earth, as one by nature upright, and I am not of the idolaters. |
| 6:80 | His people disputed with him. He said: "(Come) ye to dispute with me, about God, when He (Himself) hath guided me? I fear not (the beings) ye associate with God: Unless my Lord willeth, (nothing can happen). My Lord comprehendeth in His knowledge all things. Will ye not (yourselves) be admonished? | And his people disputed with him. He said: Do you dispute with me respecting Allah? And He has guided me indeed; and I do not fear in any way those that you set up with Him, unless my Lord pleases; my Lord comprehends all things in His knowledge; will you not then mind? | His people argued with him. He said: Dispute ye with me concerning Allah when He hath guided me ? I fear not at all that which ye set up beside Him unless my Lord willeth aught. My Lord includeth all things in His knowledge. Will ye not then remember ? |
| 6:81 | "How should I fear (the beings) ye associate with God, when ye fear not to give partners to God without any warrant having been given to you? Which of (us) two parties hath more right to security? (tell me) if ye know. | And how should I fear what you have set up (with Him), while you do not fear that you have set up with Allah that for which He has not sent down to you any authority; which then of the two parties is surer of security, if you know? | How should I fear that which ye set up beside Him, when ye fear not to set up beside Allah that for which He hath revealed unto you no warrant ? Which of the two factions hath more right to safety ? (Answer me that) if ye have knowledge. |
| 6:82 | "It is those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong - that are (truly) in security, for they are on (right) guidance." | Those who believe and do not mix up their faith with iniquity, those are they who shall have the security and they are those who go aright. | Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided. |
| 6:83 | That was the reasoning about Us, which We gave to Abraham (to use) against his people: We raise whom We will, degree after degree: for thy Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge. | And this was Our argument which we gave to Ibrahim against his people; We exalt in dignity whom We please; surely your Lord is Wise, Knowing. | That is Our argument. We gave it unto Abraham against his folk. We raise unto degrees of wisdom whom We will. Lo! thy Lord is Wise, Aware. |
