Surah Ibrahim (Abraham)

Mention of Prophet Abraham

1- Elif, Lâm, Râ. We have presented the whole of existence to you as a book. With the truths in it, leadpeople from the darkness of ignorance to the light of truths. Tell them that the One who created themis also authorized in the functioning of all existence. Tell them to be on the straight path of the Ownerof all values, the Owner of all manifestations.

2- Allah is He to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Woe to thosewho ignore the truths and remain in more trouble.

3- Those people; without thinking of their end, are distracted by the love of the worldly life, theyhinder those who are on the path of Allah, they run after what is wrong. They abandon the truths, goastray to their own understanding, and move themselves away from the truths.

4- A messenger clearly informed his people about our truths only in their own tongues. After this,whoever wishes will stray from the truths of Allah into his own misguidance, and whoever wishes willfind the way to the truths and understand that He is the Supreme Owner of all values, the One whorules over all existence.

5-Moses was one of those who understood Our signs. He struggled to lead his people from darknessinto the light and to tell them about Allah every day. In these are signs for those who are patient andwho submit to the Lord of blessings.

6-Moses said to his people: Remember the blessings of Allah. You were saved from the state ofPharaoh. He would leave you in severe distress, destroy your sons and keep your wives alive. In theseare thoughts to understand the sublime attributes of Him who created you.

7-He who created you has informed you: If you recognize and submit to the Lord of blessings, yourunderstanding of Us will be stronger. But if you ignore and conceal the truths, you will surely remainin severe distress.

8-Moses said: Even if you ignore the truth and cover it up, and everyone on earth does the same,surely, Allah is the Owner of all existence and the Owner of all manifestations in existence.

9-Has not the news of the people of Noah, Ad and Thamud before you and of those who came afterthem come to you? Messengers from among them came to them, who made clear the truths with theirproofs. But they did not know Allah. So, they did not understand and did not accept the power that iswith them. They remained in false words. They said: We do not see any truth in what you havepresented, and we are certainly in doubt and we are disturbed by what you invite.

10-He who showed them the truths said: Do you doubt about Allah, who created the heavens and theearth? He invites you to the truths so that you may find forgiveness for your sins and gives you respiteuntil death to understand the truths. They said: You are nothing but mortals like us. You want to turnus away from what our fathers used to worship. So bring us a clear proof about the Owner of Being.

11-He showed them the truth and said: We are nothing but mortals like you. But those who want toknow that they are His servants know that He is Allah who has bestowed blessing on them. We cannotbring you anything from the Owner of existence. Only Allah has authority. To be a believer, knowAllah, the Owner of existence, and submit to Him.

12-Why should we not submit to Allah, knowing that the Owner of existence is Allah? He is the Onewho shows us the way to the truth. We will certainly be patient with the torments done to us. Thosewho submit to the Owner of existence submit only to Allah.

13-Those who ignore and cover up the truths said to those who show them: We will certainly driveyou out of the lands we are in, or you will return to our beliefs, traditions and customs. Indeed, theoppressors will perish without knowing Our truths. They will not see in themselves what the One Whocreated them has presented.

14-Surely, those of you who understand Us after they have abandoned their oppression will be at easewhere they are. This is for those who respect the stations and the manifestations of the Truth.

15-Those who wanted to be successful were successful. All those who were in tyranny persisted intheir own knowledge and became losers.

16-Those who remain in their past ignorance and are in tyranny are in the hell of ignorance and feedon the dirty states of their own ignorance.

17-They try to swallow it, but they fail to succeed in it and everywhere they are in a state ofincomprehension, deviation from monotheism, they cannot understand that death and they follow thetroubles of that crude, ugly ignorance that came from their past.

18-The situation of those who cannot understand their Lord and ignore the truths and cover them up isthis: Their deeds are blown away like the wind blowing ashes on a stormy day. They are not able tounderstand the truths from what they have acquired. This is the situation of those who movethemselves away from these truths and remain in error.

19-Do you not see that Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth with truth? If you wish, youcan destroy your old knowledge and bring new ideas about existence.

20-What is done to understand Allah, the Supreme Owner of all values, is nothing other than this.

21-All things clearly show the unity of Allah. The weak say to the arrogant: We have surely followedyou. And you have not told us how to resolve our difficulties. You have not given us anything aboutAllah. They say: If we had taken Allah as our guide, We would have guided you. Now it is of no useto say, “If only we had done this or that we had been patient,” and we do not know where to seekrefuge.

22-The one in the satanic state said about the decree of the functioning: “Surely Allah has promisedyou the truths of the way things are. And I have promised you things, and then I have left you in astate of duality. I have no authority over you; I have only invited you, so you responded to me. So, donot blame me, but blame yourselves. I am not your helper, nor have you ever helped yourselves. I amthe one who disregards the truths because of what you associated with Him before. Indeed, thewrongdoers will remain in painful distress.

23-Those who believe and work on the right path of Truth are at peace, they are on a wisdom in theirstation, they constantly act in those states, they know the authority in their being, they watch thepeople with the pleasure of Truth, they are in peace and tranquility wherever they are.

24-Do you not see how Allah emphasizes the words used by those who are cleansed as an example.Beautiful words are like trees that stand firmly with their roots and extend their branches to the sky.

25-He is the one who is authorized to present information from everywhere and at every moment, Heis the One who creates everything. Allah emphasizes the similarities to people. It is hoped that theywould think about the creation of existence, and look at this world with the truths they have reached.

26-The words used by those with bad intentions are like diseased trees that are uprooted and cannotstand in balance on the earth.

27-Those who believe; they act with righteous behavior in their lives and until their last moments, theyfollow the realities of Allah with determination. But the wrongdoers deviate from the realities of Allahto their own ignorance and do not understand Allah, the perpetrator, and live in the state they want.

28-Do you not see those who ignore the blessings of Allah and change the words of the realities. Theycause great destruction in the communities they are in.

29-Their abode is the hell of ignorance, and what an evil abode it is.

30-They have associated partners with Allah to lead astray from His path. Say: The abode of thosewho seek their own interests is the fire.

31-Say about My servants: Let them be of those who believe, and let them be conscious of theirdevotion to Allah at all times, and spend in charity, secretly or openly, from what We have providedfor them, until the time of death comes, when there is no dealing or friendship.

32-Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He sends down water from the sky, then Hebrings forth fruits therewith. You benefit from them. There are paths for you in the earth’s system, andits functionings are endless. There is flowing wisdom for you in the earth’s system.

33-There is a system for you in the sun and the moon, and there is a system for you in the night andthe day.

34-In everything that you are presented with, there is an answer to your questions. If you were to countthe blessings of Allah, you would not be able to count them. Indeed, if a person ignores the truth andconceals it, he is one of the wrongdoers.

35-And Abraham said: My Lord, make our abode secure, and keep me and my children fromworshipping idols.

36-My Lord, most of the people have gone astray from the truth by worshipping idols. Whoeverfollows Me, he is surely with Me. Whoever opposes Me, surely You are the Forgiver, the Originatorof existence from Yourself.

37-Our Lord! I have placed my descendants in Your path. In their sacred bodies, which are Yourhouses, they shall possess nothing but Your wisdom. O our Lord! So make them hearts that they maybe constantly in the consciousness of Your dependence. And make people incline to the truths so thatthey may learn the blessings and manifestations that You have bestowed upon them. It is hoped thatthey would know the Owner of Your existence and submit to Him.

38-O our Lord! You are indeed the Owner of the wisdom of what we cannot see and what is manifest.There is nothing in the heavens and the earth that is hidden from Allah.

39-The Owner of all manifestations is Allah. He granted me Ismail and Isaac in my maturity. Indeed,my Lord is the Hearer, the One to whom I turn.

40-O my Lord! Make me always devoted to You. O our Lord! So shall my descendants be like that,and accept my prayers.

41-O our Lord! Forgive me, my mother, my father, and the believers, and make me among those whoalways ask and search for the truth.

42-Allah is not as you think. The wrongdoers are heedless in what they do. They never care tounderstand themselves, to know themselves, and to see the truth.

43-They act with stubbornness. They look everywhere, and do not look at themselves, and in theirhearts are selfish desires.

44-Always make clear to the people the truth, and warn them, and tell them of the distress in whichthey will fall. Then, the wrongdoers will say: O our Lord! Grant us time until a short time to respond toYour call, and then we will follow the Messengers. It was conveyed to them: Were you not amongthose who promised before? So, you will not be able to understand the truth.

45-And you acted in the manner of those who ruined themselves. Just as our functioning wasexplained to you, it was also explained to them and we emphasized the truth to you with examples.

46-Those who are in dark thoughts and insidiousness have deceived themselves and they haveremained in the darkness of ignorance in understanding the realities of Allah, and their dark andinsidious state has destroyed them in arrogance.

47-Allah is not what you think. There is no contradiction in the words of those who show them thoserealities. Surely, Allah is the One who shows Himself with His power over all things, the Owner of allvalues.

48-The earth is in a constant state of change. The earth and the sky are not other than Allah, and Allahis the One who rules over all things.

49-You will always see those who are in evil, connected to each other by their state.

50-Their state is the state of the filth of ignorance, and their faces are full of anger.

51-Allah will recompense everyone for what they have done. Surely Allah is fast in His account.

52-The knowledge of these truths is a message for people. It is so that they can understand those truthsand come to themselves, and so that they can know that the only power is Him, and so that they canuse their minds to reach the truths and look at this world with those truths.
