قد كانت لكم اسوة حسنة في ابراهيم والذين معه اذ قالوا لقومهم انا براء منكم ومما تعبدون من دون الله كفرنا بكم وبدا بيننا وبينكم العداوة والبغضاء ابدا حتى تؤمنوا بالله وحده الا قول ابراهيم لابيه لاستغفرن لك وما املك لك من الله من شيء ربنا عليك توكلنا واليك انبنا واليك المصير

There is for you An excellent example (to follow) In Abraham and those with him, When they said To their people: "We are clear of you And of whatever ye worship Besides God: we have rejected You, and there has arisen, Between us and you, enmity And hatred for ever,—unless Ye believe in God And Him alone": But not when Abraham Said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness For thee, though I have No power (to get) aught On thy behalf from God." (They prayed): "Our Lord! In Thee do we trust, And to Thee do we turn In repentance: to Thee Is (our) final Goal.
