وَحَاجَّهُ قَوْمُهُ قَالَ أَتُحَـجُّونِّى فِى اللهِ وَقَدْ هَدَنِ وَلاَ أَخَافُ مَا تُشْرِکُونَ بِهِ إِلاَّ أَن یَشَآءَ رَبِّى شَیْئاً وَسِعَ رَبِّى کُلَّ شَىْء عِلْماً أَفَلاَ تَتَذَکَّرُونَ (80)

80- AND HIS PEOPLE DISPUTED WITH HIM. HE SAID: `DO YOU DISPUTE WITH ME ABOUT ALLAH, WHEN HE HAS GUIDED ME?' AND I FEAR NOT OF WHAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH HIM, UNLESS MY LORD WANTS SOMETHING. (TO HAPPEN) MY LORD HAS EXTENDED HIS KNOWLEDGE OVER EVERY THING. WILL YOU NOT MIND?

وَکَیْفَ أَخَافُ مَآ أَشْرَکْتُمْ وَلاَ تَخَافُونَ أَنَّکُمْ أَشْرَکْتُم بِاللهِ مَا لَمْ یُنَزَّلْ بِهِ عَلَیْکُمْ سُلْطَـناً فَأَىُّ الْفَرِیقَیْنِ أَحَقُّ بِالاَْمْنِ إِن کُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ (81)

81- AND HOW COULD I FEAR OF WHAT YOU HAVE ASSOCIATED, (YOUR FALSE GODS) WHEN YOU DO NOT FEAR THAT YOU HAVE ASSOCIATED WITH ALLAH, THAT, FOR WHICH HE HAS NOT SENT DOWN TO YOU ANY AUTHORITY? WHICH ONE OF (US) TWO PARTIES DESERVES MORE TO BE SECURE IF YOU WERE TO KNOW?

الَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا وَلَمْ یَلْبِسُوا إِیَمـنَهُم بِظُلْم أَوْلَـئِکَ لَهُمُ الاَْمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ (82)

82- THOSE WHO HAVE BELIEVED, AND WILL NOT MINGLE THEIR BELIEF WITH OPPRESSION, FOR THEM IS THE SECURITY AND THEY ARE GUIDED.

وَتِلْکَ حُجَّتُنَآ ءَاتَیْنَـهَآ إِبْرَهِیمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَـت مَّن نَّشَآءُ إِنَّ رَبَّکَ حَکِیمٌ عَلِیمٌ (83)

83- AND THAT WAS OUR REASONING THAT WE GAVE IT TO ABRAHAM (TO USE) AGAINST HIS PEOPLE.

WE RAISE UP THE GRADES OF WHOM WE WILL, THAT YOUR LORD IS THE WISE KNOWER.
