When the two groups came face to face, the companions of Moses cried out, “We are overtaken for sure.”
26:61
Moses reassured ˹them˺, “Absolutely not! My Lord is certainly with me—He will guide me.”
26:62
So We inspired Moses: “Strike the sea with your staff,” and the sea was split, each part was like a huge mountain.
26:63
We drew the pursuers to that place,
26:64
and delivered Moses and those with him all together.
26:65
Then We drowned the others.
26:66
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
26:67
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
26:68
Relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of Abraham,
26:69
when he questioned his father and his people, “What is that you worship ˹besides Allah˺?”
26:70
They replied, “We worship idols, to which we are fully devoted.”
26:71
Abraham asked, “Can they hear you when you call upon them?
26:72
Or can they benefit or harm you?”
26:73
They replied, “No! But we found our forefathers doing the same.”
26:74
Abraham responded, “Have you ˹really˺ considered what you have been worshipping—
26:75
you and your ancestors?
26:76
They are ˹all˺ enemies to me, except the Lord of all worlds.
26:77
˹He is˺ the One Who created me, and He ˹alone˺ guides me.
26:78
˹He is˺ the One Who provides me with food and drink.
26:79
And He ˹alone˺ heals me when I am sick.
26:80
And He ˹is the One Who˺ will cause me to die, and then bring me back to life.
26:81
And He is ˹the One˺ Who, I hope, will forgive my flaws1 on Judgment Day.”
26:82
“My Lord! Grant me wisdom, and join me with the righteous.
26:83
