[21:51] Before that, we granted Abraham his guidance and understanding, for we were fully aware of him. [21:52] He said to his father and his people, What are these statues to which you are devoting yourselves? [21:53] They said, We found our parents worshiping them. [21:54] He said, Indeed, you and your parents have gone totally astray. [21:55] They said, Are you telling us the truth, or are you playing? [21:56] He said, Your only Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, who created them. This is the testimony to which I bear witness. [21:57] I swear by GOD, I have a plan to deal with your statues, as soon as you leave. [21:58] He broke them into pieces, except for a big one, that they may refer to it. [21:59] They said, Whoever did this to our gods is really a transgressor. [21:60] They said, We heard a youth threaten them; he is called Abraham. [21:61] They said, Bring him before the eyes of all the people, that they may bear witness. [21:62] They said, Did you do this to our gods, O Abraham? [21:63] He said, It is that big one who did it. Go ask them, if they can speak. [21:64] They were taken aback, and said to themselves, Indeed, you are the ones who have been transgressing. [21:65] Yet, they reverted to their old ideas: You know full well that these cannot speak. [21:66] He said, Do you then worship besides GOD what possesses no power to benefit you or harm you? [21:67] You have incurred shame by worshiping idols beside GOD. Do you not understand? [21:68] They said, Burn him and support your gods, if this is what you decide to do. [21:69] We said, O fire, be cool and safe for Abraham. [21:70] Thus, they schemed against him, but we made them the losers. [21:71] We saved him, and we saved Lot, to the land that we blessed for all the people. [21:72] And we granted him Isaac and Jacob as a gift, and we made them both righteous.
