Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of ((Allah)) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.(19:58)
We bestowed aforetime on Abraham his rectitude of conduct, and well were We acquainted with him. (21:51)
Behold! he said to his father and his people, "What are these images, to which ye are (so assiduously) devoted?" (21:52)
They said, "We found our fathers worshipping them."(21:53)
He said, "Indeed ye have been in manifest error - ye and your fathers." (21:54)
They said, "Have you brought us the Truth, or are you one of those who jest?" (21:55)
He said, "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, He Who created them (from nothing): and I am a witness to this (Truth). (21:56)
"And by Allah, I have a plan for your idols - after ye go away and turn your backs".(21:57)
So he broke them to pieces, (all) but the biggest of them, that they might turn (and address themselves) to it.(21:58)
They said, "Who has done this to our gods? He must indeed be some man of impiety!"(21:59)
They said, "We heard a youth talk of them: He is called Abraham." (21:60)
They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may bear witness." (21:61)
They said, "Art thou the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?" (Truth). (21:62)
He said: "Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one! ask them, if they can speak intelligently!" (21:63)
So they turned to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!" (21:64)
Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"(21:65)
(Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm? (21:66)
"Fie upon you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah. Have ye no sense?"(21:67)
They said, "Burn him and protect your gods, If ye do (anything at all)!" (21:68)
We said, "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!"(21:69)
Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most! (21:70)
But We delivered him and (his nephew) Lut (and directed them) to the land which We have blessed for the nations. (21:71)
And We bestowed on him Isaac and, as an additional gift, (a grandson), Jacob, and We made righteous men of every one (of them). (21:72)
And We made them leaders, guiding (men) by Our Command, and We sent them inspiration to do good deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practise regular charity; and they constantly served Us (and Us only). (21:73)
Behold! We gave the site, to Abraham, of the (Sacred) House, (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).(22:26)
Those of Abraham and Lut;(22:43)
And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!(22:78)
rehearse to them (something of) Abraham's story.(26:69)
And (We also saved) Abraham: behold, he said to his people, "Serve Allah and fear Him: that will be best for you- If ye understand! (29:16)
And he said: "For you, ye have taken (for worship) idols besides Allah, out of mutual love and regard between yourselves in this life; but on the Day of Judgment ye shall disown each other and curse each other: and your abode will be the Fire, and ye shall have none to help." (29:25)
When Our Messengers came to Abraham with the good news, they said: "We are indeed going to destroy the people of this township: for truly they are (addicted to) crime."(29:31)
And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:(33:7)
Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham. (37:83)
Behold! he approached his Lord with a sound heart. (37:84)
Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship? (37:85)
And he said: "For you, ye have taken (for worship) idols besides Allah, out "Is it a falsehood- gods other than Allah. that ye desire? (37:86)
