الم تر الى الذي حاج ابراهيم في ربه ان اتاه الله الملك اذ قال ابراهيم ربي الذي يحيي ويميت قال انا احيي واميت قال ابراهيم فان الله ياتي بالشمس من المشرق فات بها من المغرب فبهت الذي كفر والله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين

Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one Who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because God had granted him Power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death." Said Abraham: "But it is God That causeth the sun To rise from the East: Do thou then cause him To rise from the West." Thus was he confounded Who (in arrogance) rejected Faith. Nor doth God Give guidance To a people unjust.
