Say, "Shall we invoke instead of Allah that which neither benefits us nor
harms us and be turned back on our heels after Allah has guided us? [We
would then be] like one whom the devils enticed [to wander] upon the earth
confused, [while] he has companions inviting him to guidance, [calling],
'Come to us.' " Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only]
guidance; and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds.
And it is He who created the heavens and earth in truth. And the day He
says, "Be," and it is, His word is the truth. And His is the dominion [on]
the Day the Horn is blown. [He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed;
and He is the Wise, the Acquainted.
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father Azar, "Do you
take idols as deities? Indeed, I see you and your people to be in manifest
error."
And when he saw the moon rising, he said, "This is my lord." But when it
set, he said, "Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the people
gone astray."
And when he saw the sun rising, he said, "This is my lord; this is
greater." But when it set, he said, "O my people, indeed I am free from
what you associate with Allah .
Indeed, I have turned my face toward He who created the heavens and the
earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others
with Allah ."
And his people argued with him. He said, "Do you argue with me concerning
Allah while He has guided me? And I fear not what you associate with Him
[and will not be harmed] unless my Lord should will something. My Lord
encompasses all things in knowledge; then will you not remember?
And how should I fear what you associate while you do not fear that you
have associated with Allah that for which He has not sent down to you any
authority? So which of the two parties has more right to security, if you
should know?
