ﱁ ﱂAnd whensaidIbrahimto his fatherAzarDo you takeidols(as) godsIndeed, I[I] see youand your peopleinerrormanifest(74)

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.”

6:75

And thusWe show(ed)Ibrahimthe kingdom(of) the heavensand the earthso that he would beamongthe ones who are certain(75)

We also showed Abraham the wonders of the heavens and the earth, so he would be sure in faith.

6:76

So whencoveredover himthe nighthe sawﱠﱡa starHe saidThisﱤﱥ(is) my LordBut whenit sethe saidNot(do) I likethe ones that set(76)

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.”

6:77

Whenhe sawthe moonrisinghe saidThisﱳﱴ(is) my LordBut whenit sethe saidIf(does) notguide memy LordI will surely beamongthe peopleﱿwho went astray(77)

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.”

6:78

Whenhe sawthe sunrisinghe saidThis (is)my Lordthis (is)ﲉﲊgreaterBut whenit sethe saidO my peopleIndeed, I amfreeof whatyou associate (with Allah)(78)

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˺.

6:79

Indeed, I[I] have turnedmy faceto the One Whocreatedthe heavensand the earthﲛﲜ(as) a true monotheistand notI (am)ofthe polytheists(79)

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.”

6:80

And argued with himﲣﲤhis peopleHe saidDo you argue with meconcerningAllahwhile certainlyﲪﲫHe has guided meAnd not(do) I fearwhatyou associatewith Himunless[that]willsmy LordﲵﲶanythingEncompassesmy Lordeverythingﲻﲼ(in) knowledgeThen will notyou take heedﲿ(80)

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?

6:81

And howcould I fearwhatyou associate (with Allah)while notyou fearthat youhave associatedwith Allahwhatnotdid He send downfor itto youﳎﳏany authoritySo which(of) the two partieshas more rightﳓﳔto securityifyouknow(81)

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!”
