Abraham Debates with Idol Worshipers (6:74 – 6:81)

Abraham Debates With Idol Worshipers

6:74 Recall that Abraham said to his father Azar, “How could you worship statues as gods? I see that you and your people have gone far astray.”

6:75 We showed Abraham the marvels of the heavens and the earth, and blessed him with certainty:

6:76 When the night fell, he saw a shining planet. “Maybe this is my Lord,” he said. When it disappeared, he said, “I do not like (gods) that disappear.”

6:77 When he saw the moon rising, he said, “Maybe this is my Lord!” When it disappeared, he said, “Unless my Lord guides me, I will be with the strayers.”
