˹Remember˺ when Abraham was tested by his Lord with ˹certain˺ commandments, which he fulfilled. Allah said, “I will certainly make you into a role model for the people.” Abraham asked, “What about my offspring?” Allah replied, “My covenant is not extended to the wrongdoers.” (124) And ˹remember˺ when We made the Sacred House a centre and a sanctuary for the people ˹saying˺, “˹You may˺ take the standing-place of Abraham as a site of prayer.” And We entrusted Abraham and Ishmael to purify My House for those who circle it, who meditate in it, and who bow and prostrate themselves ˹in prayer˺. (125) And ˹remember˺ when Abraham said, “My Lord, make this city ˹of Mecca˺ secure and provide fruits to its people—those among them who believe in Allah and the Last Day.” He answered, “As for those who disbelieve, I will let them enjoy themselves for a little while, then I will condemn them to the torment of the Fire. What an evil destination!” (126) And ˹remember˺ when Abraham raised the foundation of the House with Ishmael, ˹both praying,˺ “Our Lord! Accept ˹this˺ from us. You are indeed the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (127) Our Lord! Make us both ˹fully˺ submit to You and from our descendants a nation that will submit to You. Show us our rituals, and turn to us in grace. You are truly the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful. (128) Our Lord! Raise from among them a messenger who will recite to them Your revelations, teach them the Book and wisdom, and purify them. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Almighty, All-Wise.” (129)

˹Remember˺ when Abraham prayed, “My Lord! Make this city ˹of Mecca˺ secure, and keep me and my children away from the worship of idols. (35) My Lord! They have caused many people to go astray. So whoever follows me is with me, and whoever disobeys me—then surely You are ˹still˺ All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (36) Our Lord! I have settled some of my offspring in a barren valley, near Your Sacred House, our Lord, so that they may establish prayer. So make the hearts of ˹believing˺ people incline towards them and provide them with fruits, so perhaps they will be thankful. (37) Our Lord! You certainly know what we conceal and what we reveal. Nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from Allah. (38) All praise is for Allah who has blessed me with Ishmael and Isaac in my old age. My Lord is indeed the Hearer of ˹all˺ prayers. (39) My Lord! Make me and those ˹believers˺ of my descendants keep up prayer. Our Lord! Accept my prayers. (40) Our Lord! Forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day when the judgment will come to pass.” (41)

And ˹remember˺ when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House, ˹saying,˺ “Do not associate anything with Me ˹in worship˺ and purify My House for those who circle ˹the Ka’bah˺, stand ˹in prayer˺, and bow and prostrate themselves. (26) Call ˹all˺ people to the pilgrimage. They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant path, (27) so they may obtain the benefits ˹in store˺ for them, and pronounce the Name of Allah on appointed days over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. So eat from their meat and feed the desperately poor. (28) Then let them groom themselves, fulfil their vows, and circle the Ancient House.” (29)

And who would reject the faith of Abraham except a fool! We certainly chose him in this life, and in the Hereafter he will surely be among the righteous. (130) When his Lord ordered him, “Submit ˹to My Will˺,” he responded, “I submit to the Lord of all worlds.” (131) This was the advice of Abraham—as well as Jacob—to his children, ˹saying˺, “Indeed, Allah has chosen for you this faith; so do not die except in ˹a state of full˺ submission.” (132) Or did you witness when death came to Jacob? He asked his children, “Who will you worship after my passing?” They replied, “We will ˹continue to˺ worship your God, the God of your forefathers—Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac—the One God. And to Him we ˹all˺ submit.” (133) That was a community that had already gone before. For them is what they earned and for you is what you have earned. And you will not be accountable for what they have done. (134)

The Jews and Christians each say, “Follow our faith to be ˹rightly˺ guided.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “No! We follow the faith of Abraham, the upright—who was not a polytheist.” (135) Say, ˹O believers,˺ “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.” (136) So if they believe in what you believe, then they will indeed be ˹rightly˺ guided. But if they turn away, they are simply opposed ˹to the truth˺. But Allah will spare you their evil. For He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (137) This is the ˹natural˺ Way of Allah. And who is better than Allah in ordaining a way? And we worship ˹none but˺ Him. (138) Say, “Would you dispute with us about Allah, while He is our Lord and your Lord? We are accountable for our deeds and you for yours. And we are devoted to Him ˹alone˺. (139) Do you claim that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants were all Jews or Christians?” Say, “Who is more knowledgeable: you or Allah?” Who does more wrong than those who hide the testimony they received from Allah? And Allah is never unaware of what you do. (140) That was a community that had already gone before. For them is what they earned and for you is what you have earned. And you will not be accountable for what they have done. (141)

O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until long after him? Do you not understand? (65) Here you are! You disputed about what you have ˹little˺ knowledge of, but why do you now argue about what you have no knowledge of? Allah knows and you do not know. (66) Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian; he submitted in all uprightness and was not a polytheist. (67) Indeed, those who have the best claim to Abraham are his followers, this Prophet, and the believers. And Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. (68)

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah has declared the truth. So follow the Way of Abraham, the upright—who was not a polytheist.” (95) Surely the first House ˹of worship˺ established for humanity is the one at Bakkah—a blessed sanctuary and a guide for ˹all˺ people. (96) In it are clear signs and the standing-place of Abraham. Whoever enters it should be safe. Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah upon whoever is able among the people. And whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of His˺ creation. (97)

And who is better in faith than those who ˹fully˺ submit themselves to Allah, do good, and follow the Way of Abraham, the upright? Allah chose Abraham as a close friend.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Surely my Lord has guided me to the Straight Path, a perfect way, the faith of Abraham, the upright, who was not one of the polytheists.”

I follow the faith of my fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is not ˹right˺ for us to associate anything with Allah ˹in worship˺. This is part of Allah’s grace upon us and humanity, but most people are not grateful.

Indeed, Abraham was a model of excellence: devoted to Allah, ˹perfectly˺ upright—not a polytheist— (120) ˹utterly˺ grateful for Allah’s favours. ˹So˺ He chose him and guided him to the Straight Path. (121) We blessed him with all goodness in this world, and in the Hereafter he will certainly be among the righteous. (122) Then We revealed to you ˹O Prophet, saying˺: “Follow the faith of Abraham, the upright, who was not one of the polytheists.” (123)

Strive for ˹the cause of˺ Allah in the way He deserves, for ˹it is˺ He ˹Who˺ has chosen you, and laid upon you no hardship in the religion—the way of your forefather Abraham. ˹It is Allah˺ Who named you ‘the ones who submit’ ˹in the˺ earlier ˹Scriptures˺ and in this ˹Quran˺, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and that you may be witnesses over humanity. So establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and hold fast to Allah. He ˹alone˺ is your Guardian. What an excellent Guardian, and what an excellent Helper!

And ˹remember˺ when Abraham said to his father, Ȃzar, “Do you take idols as gods? It is clear to me that you and your people are entirely misguided.” (74) We also showed Abraham the wonders of the heavens and the earth, so he would be sure in faith. (75) When the night grew dark upon him, he saw a star and said, “This is my Lord!” But when it set, he said, “I do not love things that set.” (76) Then when he saw the moon rising, he said, “This one is my Lord!” But when it disappeared, he said, “If my Lord does not guide me, I will certainly be one of the misguided people.” (77) Then when he saw the sun shining, he said, “This must be my Lord—it is the greatest!” But again when it set, he declared, “O my people! I totally reject whatever you associate ˹with Allah in worship˺. (78) I have turned my face towards the One Who has originated the heavens and the earth—being upright—and I am not one of the polytheists.” (79) And his people argued with him. He responded, “Are you arguing with me about Allah, while He has guided me? I am not afraid of whatever ˹idols˺ you associate with Him—˹none can harm me,˺ unless my Lord so wills. My Lord encompasses everything in ˹His˺ knowledge. Will you not be mindful? (80) And how should I fear your associate-gods, while you have no fear in associating ˹others˺ with Allah—a practice He has never authorized? Which side has more right to security? ˹Tell me˺ if you really know!” (81) It is ˹only˺ those who are faithful and do not tarnish their faith with falsehood who are guaranteed security and are ˹rightly˺ guided. (82) This was the argument We gave Abraham against his people. We elevate in rank whoever We please. Surely your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing. (83)

˹Remember, O  Prophet˺ when Abraham declared to his father and his people, “I am totally free of whatever ˹gods˺ you worship, (26) except the One Who originated me, and He will surely guide me.” (27) And he left this enduring declaration among his descendants, so they may ˹always˺ turn back ˹to Allah˺.  (28)

Relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of Abraham, (69) when he questioned his father and his people, “What is that you worship ˹besides Allah˺?” (70) They replied, “We worship idols, to which we are fully devoted.” (71) Abraham asked, “Can they hear you when you call upon them? (72) Or can they benefit or harm you?” (73) They replied, “No! But we found our forefathers doing the same.” (74) Abraham responded, “Have you ˹really˺ considered what you have been worshipping— (75) you and your ancestors? (76) They are ˹all˺ enemies to me, except the Lord of all worlds. (77)

˹He is˺ the One Who created me, and He ˹alone˺ guides me. (78) ˹He is˺ the One Who provides me with food and drink. (79) And He ˹alone˺ heals me when I am sick. (80) And He ˹is the One Who˺ will cause me to die, and then bring me back to life. (81) And He is ˹the One˺ Who, I hope, will forgive my flaws on Judgment Day.” (82)

“My Lord! Grant me wisdom, and join me with the righteous. (83) Bless me with honourable mention among later generations. (84) Make me one of those awarded the Garden of Bliss. (85) Forgive my father, for he is certainly one of the misguided. (86) And do not disgrace me on the Day all will be resurrected— (87) the Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any benefit. (88) Only those who come before Allah with a pure heart ˹will be saved˺.”  (89)

As for Abraham’s prayer for his father’s forgiveness, it was only in fulfilment of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to Abraham that his father was an enemy of Allah, he broke ties with him. Abraham was truly tender-hearted, forbearing.

And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Abraham. He was surely a man of truth and a prophet. (41) ˹Remember˺ when he said to his father, “O dear father! Why do you worship what can neither hear nor see, nor benefit you at all? (42) O  dear father! I have certainly received some knowledge which you have not received, so follow me and I will guide you to the Straight Path. (43) O  dear father! Do not worship Satan. Surely Satan is ever rebellious against the Most Compassionate. (44) O  dear father! I truly fear that you will be touched by a torment from the Most Compassionate, and become Satan’s companion ˹in Hell˺.” (45) He threatened, “How dare you reject my idols, O  Abraham! If you do not desist, I will certainly stone you ˹to death˺. So be gone from me for a long time!” (46) Abraham responded, “Peace be upon you! I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness. He has truly been Most Gracious to me. (47) As I distance myself from ˹all of˺ you and from whatever you invoke besides Allah, I will ˹continue to˺ call upon my Lord ˹alone˺, trusting that I will never be disappointed in invoking my Lord.” (48) So after he had left them and what they worshipped besides Allah, We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and made each of them a prophet. (49) We showered them with Our mercy, and blessed them with honourable mention.  (50)

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. (4) Our Lord! Do not subject us to the persecution of the disbelievers. Forgive us, our Lord! You ˹alone˺ are truly the Almighty, All-Wise.” (5) You certainly have an excellent example in them for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day. But whoever turns away, then surely Allah ˹alone˺ is the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy. (6)

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.

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.”

And surely Our messenger-angels came to Abraham with good news ˹of a son˺. They greeted ˹him with˺, “Peace!” And he replied, “Peace ˹be upon you˺!” Then it was not long before he brought ˹them˺ a ˹fat,˺ roasted calf. (69) And when he saw that their hands did not reach for the food, he became suspicious and fearful of them. They reassured ˹him˺, “Do not be afraid! We are ˹angels˺ sent ˹only˺ against the people of Lot.” (70) And his wife was standing by, so she laughed, then We gave her good news of ˹the birth of˺ Isaac, and, after him, Jacob. (71) She wondered, “Oh, my! How can I have a child in this old age, and my husband here is an old man? This is truly an astonishing thing!” (72) They responded, “Are you astonished by Allah’s decree? May Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you, O  people of this house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy, All-Glorious.” (73) Then after the fear had left Abraham, and the good news had reached him, he began to plead with Us for the people of Lot. (74) Truly, Abraham was forbearing, tender-hearted, and ever turning ˹to his Lord˺. (75) ˹The angels said,˺ “O Abraham! Plead no more! Your Lord’s decree has already come, and they will certainly be afflicted with a punishment that cannot be averted!” (76)

And inform them ˹O Prophet˺ about Abraham’s guests (51) who entered upon him and greeted ˹him with˺, “Peace!” He ˹later˺ said, “Surely we are afraid of you.” (52) They reassured ˹him˺, “Do not be afraid! Surely we give you good news of a knowledgeable son.” (53) He wondered, “Do you give me good news despite my old age? What unlikely news!” (54) They responded, “We give you good news in all truth, so do not be one of those who despair.” (55) He exclaimed, “Who would despair of the mercy of their Lord except the misguided?” (56) He ˹then˺ added, “What is your mission, O  messenger-angels?” (57) They replied, “We have actually been sent to a wicked people. (58) As for the family of Lot, we will certainly deliver them all, (59) except his wife. We have determined that she will be one of the doomed.” (60)

When Our messenger-angels came to Abraham with the good news ˹of the birth of Isaac˺, they said, “We are going to destroy the people of this city ˹of Sodom˺, for its people have persisted in wrongdoing.” (31) He said, “But Lot is there!” They responded, “We know best who is there. We will certainly save him and his family—except his wife, who is one of the doomed.” (32)

Has the story of Abraham’s honoured guests reached you ˹O Prophet˺? (24) ˹Remember˺ when they entered his presence and greeted ˹him with˺, “Peace!” He replied, “Peace ˹be upon you˺!” ˹Then he said to himself,˺ “These people must be strangers!” (25) Then he slipped off to his family and brought a fat ˹roasted˺ calf, (26) and placed it before them, asking, “Will you not eat?” (27) ˹They did not eat,˺ so he grew fearful of them. They reassured ˹him˺, “Do not be afraid,” and gave him good news of a knowledgeable son. (28) Then his wife came forward with a cry, clasping her forehead ˹in astonishment˺, exclaiming, “˹A baby from˺ a barren, old woman!” (29) They replied, “Such has your Lord decreed. He is truly the All-Wise, All-Knowing.” (30)

˹Later,˺ Abraham asked, “What is your mission, O  messenger-angels?” (31) They replied, “We have actually been sent to a wicked people, (32) to send upon them stones of ˹baked˺ clay, (33) marked by your Lord for the transgressors.” (34) Then ˹before the torment˺ We evacuated the believers from the city. (35) But We only found one family that had submitted ˹to Allah˺. (36) And We have left a sign there ˹as a lesson˺ for those who fear the painful punishment. (37)

And indeed, We had granted Abraham sound judgment early on, for We knew him well ˹to be worthy of it˺. (51) ˹Remember˺ when he questioned his father and his people, “What are these statues to which you are so devoted?” (52) They replied, “We found our forefathers worshipping them.” (53) He responded, “Indeed, you and your forefathers have been clearly astray.” (54) They asked, “Have you come to us with the truth, or is this a joke?” (55) He replied, “In fact, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them ˹both˺. And to that I bear witness.” (56) ˹Then he said to himself,˺ “By Allah! I will surely plot against your idols after you have turned your backs and gone away.” (57)

So he smashed them into pieces, except the biggest of them, so they might turn to it ˹for answers˺. (58) They protested, “Who dared do this to our gods? It must be an evildoer!” (59) Some said, “We heard a young man, called Abraham, speaking ˹ill˺ of them.” (60) They demanded, “Bring him before the eyes of the people, so that they may witness ˹his trial˺.” (61) They asked, “Was it you who did this to our gods, O  Abraham?” (62) He replied ˹sarcastically˺, “No, this one—the biggest of them—did it! So ask them, if they can talk!” (63) So they came back to their senses, saying ˹to one another˺, “You yourselves are truly the wrongdoers!” (64) Then they ˹quickly˺ regressed to their ˹original˺ mind-set, ˹arguing,˺ “You already know that those ˹idols˺ cannot talk.” (65) He rebuked ˹them˺, “Do you then worship—instead of Allah—what can neither benefit nor harm you in any way? (66) Shame on you and whatever you worship instead of Allah! Do you not have any sense?” (67)

They concluded, “Burn him up to avenge your gods, if you must act.” (68) We ordered, “O fire! Be cool and safe for Abraham!” (69) They had sought to harm him, but We made them the worst losers. (70) Then We delivered him, along with Lot, to the land We had showered with blessings for all people. (71) And We blessed him with Isaac ˹as a son˺ and Jacob ˹as a grandson˺, as an additional favour—making all of them righteous. (72) We ˹also˺ made them leaders, guiding by Our command, and inspired them to do good deeds, establish prayer, and pay alms-tax. And they were devoted to Our worship. (73)

And ˹remember˺ when Abraham said to his people, “Worship Allah, and fear Him. This is better for you, if only you knew. (16) You worship besides Allah nothing but idols, simply creating lies ˹about them˺. Those you worship besides Allah certainly cannot give you any provision. So seek provision from Allah ˹alone˺, worship Him, and be grateful to Him. To Him you will ˹all˺ be returned. (17) If you ˹Meccans˺ persist in denial, so did ˹many˺ communities before you. The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.” (18)

Have they not seen how Allah originates the creation then resurrects it? That is certainly easy for Allah. (19) Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Travel throughout the land and see how He originated the creation, then Allah will bring it into being one more time. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything. (20) He punishes whoever He wills, and shows mercy to whoever He wills. And you will ˹all˺ be returned to Him. (21) And you cannot escape Him on earth or in heaven. Nor have you any protector or helper besides Allah.” (22) As for those who disbelieve in Allah’s signs and the meeting with Him, it is they who will have no hope in His mercy. And it is they who will suffer a painful punishment. (23)

But the only response of Abraham’s people was to say: “Kill him or burn him!” But Allah saved him from the fire. Surely in this are signs for people who believe. (24) He said ˹to his people˺, “You have taken idols ˹for worship˺ instead of Allah, only to keep ˹the bond of˺ harmony among yourselves in this worldly life. But on the Day of Judgment you will disown and curse one another. Your home will be the Fire, and you will have no helper!” (25) So Lot believed in him. And Abraham said, “I am emigrating ˹in obedience˺ to my Lord. He ˹alone˺ is indeed the Almighty, All-Wise.” (26) We blessed him with Isaac and ˹later˺ Jacob, and reserved prophethood and revelation for his descendants. We gave him his reward in this life, and in the Hereafter he will certainly be among the righteous. (27)

And indeed, one of those who followed his way was Abraham. (83) ˹Remember˺ when he came to his Lord with a pure heart, (84) and said to his father and his people, “What are you worshipping? (85) Is it false gods that you desire instead of Allah? (86) What then do you expect from the Lord of all worlds?” (87) He later looked up to the stars ˹in contemplation˺, (88) then said, “I am really sick.” (89)

So they turned their backs on him and went away. (90) Then he ˹stealthily˺ advanced towards their gods, and said ˹mockingly˺, “Will you not eat ˹your offerings˺? (91) What is wrong with you that you cannot speak?” (92) Then he swiftly turned on them, striking ˹them˺ with his right hand. (93) Later, his people came rushing towards him ˹furiously˺. (94) He argued, “How can you worship what you carve ˹with your own hands˺, (95) when it is Allah Who created you and whatever you do?” (96) They said ˹to one another˺, “Build him a furnace and cast him into the blazing fire.” (97) And so they sought to harm him, but We made them inferior. (98)

He later said, “I am leaving ˹in obedience˺ to my Lord. He will guide me. (99) My Lord! Bless me with righteous offspring.” (100) So We gave him good news of a forbearing son. (101) Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I ˹must˺ sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father! Do as you are commanded. Allah willing, you will find me steadfast.” (102) Then when they submitted ˹to Allah’s Will˺, and Abraham laid him on the side of his forehead ˹for sacrifice˺, (103) We called out to him, “O Abraham! (104) You have already fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers. (105) That was truly a revealing test. (106)

And We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice, (107) and blessed Abraham ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations: (108) “Peace be upon Abraham.” (109) This is how We reward the good-doers. (110) He was truly one of Our faithful servants. (111) We ˹later˺ gave him good news of Isaac—a prophet, and one of the righteous. (112) We blessed him and Isaac as well. Some of their descendants did good, while others clearly wronged themselves. (113)

Indeed, Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of ’Imrân above all people ˹of their time˺.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord—we make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we ˹fully˺ submit.”

Or do they envy the people for Allah’s bounties? Indeed, We have given the descendants of Abraham the Book and wisdom, along with great authority.

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.

And so will your Lord choose you ˹O Joseph˺, and teach you the interpretation of dreams, and perfect His favour upon you and the descendants of Jacob—˹just˺ as He once perfected it upon your forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Surely your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”

Those were ˹some of˺ the prophets who Allah has blessed from among the descendants of Adam, and of those We carried with Noah ˹in the Ark˺, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and of those We ˹rightly˺ guided and chose. Whenever the revelations of the Most Compassionate were recited to them, they fell down, prostrating and weeping.

And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from the prophets, as well as from you ˹O Prophet˺, and from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, son of Mary. We did take a solemn covenant from ˹all of˺ them

And remember Our servants: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the men of strength and insight. (45) We truly chose them for the honour of proclaiming the Hereafter. (46) And in Our sight they are truly among the chosen and the finest. (47)

He has ordained for you ˹believers˺ the Way which He decreed for Noah, and what We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ and what We decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, ˹commanding:˺ “Uphold the faith, and make no divisions in it.” What you call the polytheists to is unbearable for them. Allah chooses for Himself whoever He wills, and guides to Himself whoever turns ˹to Him˺.

Or has he not been informed of what is in the Scripture of Moses, (36) and ˹that of˺ Abraham, who ˹perfectly˺ fulfilled ˹his covenant˺? (37)

And indeed, We sent Noah and Abraham and reserved prophethood and revelation for their descendants. Some of them are ˹rightly˺ guided, while most are rebellious.

This is certainly ˹mentioned˺ in the earlier Scriptures— (18) the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. (19)

Have they not received the stories of those ˹destroyed˺ before them: the people of Noah, ’Âd, and Thamûd, the people of Abraham, the residents of Midian, and the overturned cities ˹of Lot˺? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. Allah would have never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.

the people of Abraham, the people of Lot,
