Qarib: It was He who created the heavens and the earth in truth. On the Day when He says: 'Be, ' it shall be. His Word is the truth. His shall be the Kingdom on the Day when the Horn is blown. The Knower of the unseen and the visible, and He is the Wise, the Aware.
Sarwar: It is He Who has created the heavens and the earth for a genuine purpose. When He commands the Day of Judgment to take place, it will come into existence. His Word is the Truth.

Shakir: And He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth with truth, and on the day He says: Be, it is. His word is the truth, and His is the kingdom on the day when the trumpet shall be blown; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; and He is the Wise, the Aware

Qarib: (And remember) when Abraham said to his father Azar: 'Will you take idols for gods, surely I see you and your people are in clear error. '
Sarwar: Consider when Abraham asked his father, Azar, "Why do you believe idols to be your gods? I find you and your people in absolute error".
Shakir: And when Ibrahim said to his sire, Azar: Do you take idols for gods? Surely I see you and your people in manifest error
Pickthall: (Remember) when Abraham said unto his father Azar: Takest thou idols for gods? Lo! I see thee and thy folk in error manifest.
Yusufali: Lo! Abraham said to his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error."

Qarib: And so We showed Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, so that he might be of those who are certain.
Sarwar: Also, We showed (Abraham) the kingdom of the heavens and the earth to strengthen his faith.
Shakir: And thus did We show Ibrahim the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and that he might be of those who are sure
Pickthall: Thus did We show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that he might be of those possessing certainty:
Yusufali: So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude.

Qarib: When night drew over him, he saw a planet. 'This, ' he said: 'is surely my Lord. ' But when it set he said: 'I do not like the setting ones. '
Sarwar: When it became dark at night, he (Abraham) saw a star and said, "This is my lord." But when it disappeared, he said, "I do not love those who fade away".
Shakir: 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
Pickthall: 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.
Yusufali: 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."

Qarib: When he saw the rising moon, he said: 'This is my Lord. ' But when it set, he said: 'If my Lord does not guide me, I shall surely be amongst the astray nation. '
Sarwar: When Abraham saw the rising moon, he said, "This is my lord." But when it faded away, he said, "If my Lord does not guide me I shall certainly go astray."
Shakir: 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
Pickthall: 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.
Yusufali: 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."

Qarib: Then, when he saw the sun rise, shining, he said: 'This must be my Lord, it is larger. ' But when it set, he said: 'O nation I am quit of what you associate (with Allah, the Creator),
Sarwar: When he saw the rising sun, he said, "This is my Lord for it is greater (than the others)." But when this too faded away, (Abraham) said, "My people, I disavow whatever you consider equal to God.
Shakir: 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)
Pickthall: 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).
Yusufali: 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 Allah.

Qarib: I have turned my face to Him who has created the heavens and the earth, uprightly, and I am not among the idolaters. '
Sarwar: I have up-rightly submitted myself to the One who has created the heavens and the earth and I am not an idol worshipper."
Shakir: Surely I have turned myself, being upright, wholly to Him Who originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not of the polytheists
Pickthall: 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.
Yusufali: "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 Allah."

Qarib: His nation argued with him. He said: 'Will you argue with me about Allah, indeed He guided me! Except by His will, I do not fear those you associate with Him. My Lord embraces all things in knowledge, will you not remember?
Sarwar: In an argument with his people, (Abraham) asked them, "Why do you argue with me about God who has given me guidance? Your idols can do no harm to me unless God wills. God knows all things. Why, then, do you not consider this?
Shakir: 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?
Pickthall: 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?
Yusufali: His people disputed with him. He said: "(Come) ye to dispute with me, about Allah, when He (Himself) hath guided me? I fear not (the beings) ye associate with Allah: Unless my Lord willeth, (nothing can happen). My Lord comprehendeth in His knowledge all things. Will ye not (yourselves) be admonished?

Qarib: And how should I fear what you have associated when you yourselves are not afraid that you have associated with Allah that which He did not send down for it upon you an authority. Which of the two parties is more deserving of safety, if you know?
Sarwar: Why should I be afraid of your idols when you are not afraid of worshipping them without any authority from heaven? Would that you knew which of us is more deserving to receive amnesty".
Shakir: 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?
Pickthall: 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.
Yusufali: "How should I fear (the beings) ye associate with Allah, when ye fear not to give partners to Allah without any warrant having been given to you? Which of (us) two parties hath more right to security? (tell me) if ye know.

Qarib: Those who believe and have not confounded their belief with harm security belongs to them; and they are guided. '
Sarwar: Those who have accepted the faith and have kept it pure from injustice, have achieved security and guidance.
Shakir: 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
Pickthall: Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided.
