And (when) his people argued with him, he said, “”Do you argue with me about Allah Who has guided me, and I do not fear that which you associate as partners with Him, unless my Fosterer wills something. My Fosterers knowledge extends over everything, will you not then be mindful?

And how should I fear that which you associate as partners (with Allah) when you do not fear to associate partners with Allah for which He has not sent down any authority on you, so which of the two parties has more right for security, if you know?

Those who believe and do not cover their belief with injustice, those are the persons for whom there is security and they are (rightly) guided.”” (R 9)

And that was Our argument which We gave to Ibrahim against his people, We elevate the grades of whom We will. Your Fosterer is certainly Wise, Knowing.

And We granted him Ishaq and Yaqub, each did We guide, and earlier We had guided Nuh and from his descendants Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Musa and Harun and thus do We reward those who do good,

and Zakariyya and Yahya and Isa and Ilyas, each one was of the righteous,

and Ismael and Elisha and Yunus and Lut and each one (of them) We preferred over (all others in) the worlds,

and from among their forefathers and their descendants and their brothers, and We chose them and We guided them to the straight path.

Thats the guidance of Allah, He guides thereby whom He wills of His servants, and if they associate partners (with Allah), all that they used to do would become fruitless for them.

Those were the persons to whom We gave the book (law) and the judgment and the prophethood; but if these do not believe in it, then We have entrusted with it, a people who will not be infidels to it.

Those were the persons whom Allah guided, therefore follow (religion) according to their guidance. Say, “”I do not ask you for any reward for it; it is nothing but a reminder for the worlds.”” (R 10)

And they did not estimate Allah with the estimation due to Him when they said, “”Allah did not send down anything on man.”” Say, “”Who (then) sent down the book with which Musa had come, (in which there was) light and guidance for mankind, of which you have made (written) pages, (part of) which you manifest while you hide much, and (through which) you were taught that which you did not know, you and your forefathers?”” Say, “”Allah,”” then leave them sporting in their involvement (of vain talk).

And this book (Quran too), We have sent down, (it is) blessed, confirming those (Divine books) which were before it, that you may warn the mother of cities (Mecca) and those around it; and those who believe in the hereafter believe in it and they are guardians of their worship (salat).

And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or says, “”Communication has come to me,”” when he has not been communicated with anything, and he who says, “”I can (also) bring down the like of that which Allah has sent down.”” Could you but see when the unjust are engulfed in (the sufferings of) death and the angels stretch their hands (saying), “”Bring out your souls. (This) day you will be rewarded with a shameful punishment because you used to speak about Allah (something) other than the truth, and you used to consider yourselves great with regard to (the acceptance) of His signs.””

And now you have come to Us alone as We had created you the first time, and you have left behind your backs (all) that We bestowed upon you, and We do not see with you your mediators (about) whom you claimed that they would be partners in your (affairs), (all the ties) between you have been cut off and that which you used to claim (as dependable) has gone away from you. (R 11)

(It is) certainly Allah Who splits the grain and the date-stone (seed). He brings out the living from the dead and He brings out the dead from the living. That is Allah, then how are you turned away (from the truth)?

Splitter of the day break, and He has made the night for rest and the sun and the moon for keeping an account (of time). That is the programme of the Mighty, the Knowing.

And He it is Who made for you the stars that you may guide yourselves by (using) them in the darknesses of the land and the sea. We have detailed the signs for a people who have knowledge.

And He it is Who has produced you from a single soul, then (appointed for you) a place/time for staying (life) and a place/time for departure (death). We have detailed the signs for a people who have understanding.

And He it is Who sends down water from the sky, then We bring out through it vegetation of every kind, then We bring out from it green (crop) from which We bring out grain piled up; and of the date palms, of the sheaths of it, come forth clusters of dates within reach; and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Look at its fruit when they bear fruit and its ripening. In these there are certainly signs for a people who believe.
