Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Indeed in Ibrahim, and those along with
him, lay a good example for you follow - when they said to their people,
“Indeed we are unconcerned with you and all what you worship besides Allah;
we reject you, and between us and you has surfaced enmity and hatred for
ever until you accept faith in the One Allah” - except the saying of Ibrahim
to his father, "I will surely seek forgiveness for you, and I do not possess
any power to benefit you against Allah"; "O our Lord! We have relied only
upon You, and towards You only we have inclined and only towards You is
the return".
Yusuf Ali:
There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone": But not when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Goal.
Pickthal:
There is a goodly pattern for you in Abraham and those with him, when they told their folk: Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only - save that which Abraham promised his father (when he said): I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I own nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord! In Thee we put our trust, and unto Thee we turn repentant, and unto Thee is the journeying.
