Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
You already have an excellent example in
Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, “We totally dissociate ourselves from you and ˹shun˺ whatever ˹idols˺ you worship besides Allah. We reject you. The enmity and hatred that has arisen between us and you will last until you believe in Allah alone.” The only exception is when
Abraham said to his father, “I will seek forgiveness for you,˹” adding, “but˺ I cannot protect you from Allah at all.” ˹The believers prayed,˺ “Our Lord! In You we trust. And to You we ˹always˺ turn. And to You is the final return.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Indeed, We have sent revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ as We sent revelation to Noah and the prophets after him. We also sent revelation to
Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants, ˹as well as˺ Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And to David We gave the Psalms.
2:258 - Al-Baqarah
Verse 258
أَلَمۡ
تَرَ
إِلَى
ٱلَّذِي
حَآجَّ
إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ
فِي
رَبِّهِۦٓ
أَنۡ
ءَاتَىٰهُ
ٱللَّهُ
ٱلۡمُلۡكَ

قَالَ
إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمُ
رَبِّيَ

ٱللَّهَ
يَأۡتِي
بِٱلشَّمۡسِ
مِنَ
ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ

بِهَا
مِنَ
ٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ
فَبُهِتَ
ٱلَّذِي
كَفَرَۗ

٢٥٨
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Are you ˹O Prophet˺ not aware of the one who argued with
Abraham about his Lord because Allah had granted him kingship? ˹Remember˺ when
Abraham said, “My Lord is the One Who has power to give life and cause death.” He argued, “I too have the power to give life and cause death.”
Abraham challenged ˹him˺, “Allah causes the sun to rise from the east. So make it rise from the west.” And so the disbeliever was dumbstruck. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
2:260 - Al-Baqarah
Verse 260
وَإِذۡ
قَالَ
إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمُ
رَبِّ
أَرِنِي
كَيۡفَ
تُحۡيِ
ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰۖ
قَالَ
أَوَلَمۡ
تُؤۡمِنۖ
قَالَ
بَلَىٰ
وَلَٰكِن
لِّيَطۡمَئِنَّ
قَلۡبِيۖ
قَالَ
فَخُذۡ
أَرۡبَعَةٗ
مِّنَ
ٱلطَّيۡرِ
فَصُرۡهُنَّ
إِلَيۡكَ
ثُمَّ
ٱجۡعَلۡ
عَلَىٰ
كُلِّ
جَبَلٖ
مِّنۡهُنَّ
جُزۡءٗا
ثُمَّ
ٱدۡعُهُنَّ
يَأۡتِينَكَ
سَعۡيٗاۚ
وَٱعۡلَمۡ
أَنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
عَزِيزٌ
حَكِيمٞ

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And ˹remember˺ when
Abraham said, “My Lord! Show me how you give life to the dead.” Allah responded, “Do you not believe?”
Abraham replied, “Yes I do, but just so my heart can be reassured.” Allah said, “Then bring four birds, train them to come to you, ˹then cut them into pieces,˺ and scatter them on different hilltops. Then call them back, they will fly to you in haste. And ˹so you will˺ know that Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.”
