And We gave Mūsā and Hārūn the Criterion, and a light and an advice for the God-fearing,

- those who have awe of their Lord without having seen Him, and are fearful of the Hour (of Judgment).

And this is a blessed advice We have sent down. Are you still rejecting it?

Even earlier We had given Ibrāhīm his right course, and We knew him well

when he said to his father and his people, “What are these statues you are devoted to?”

They said, “We found our fathers worshipping them,”

He said, “Surely you and your fathers have been in open error.”

They said, “Did you come to us with truth or are you one of the triflers?”

He said, “No, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, who has created them, and I am one of those who bear witness to it.

And I swear by Allah that I will devise something against your idols after you have gone away turning your backs.”

Then, he turned all of them into pieces, except the big one of them, so that they may come back to it.

They said, “Who has done this to our gods? He is one of the wrongdoers indeed.”

Some of them said, “We have heard a youth talking about them. He is called Ibrāhīm.”

They said, “Then, bring him before the eyes of the people, so that they may see”.
