إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship?


أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

"Is it a falsehood- gods other than Allah- that ye desire?


فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

"Then what is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?"


فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

Then did he cast a glance at the Stars.


فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"


فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

So they turned away from him, and departed.


فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?...


مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

"What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?"


فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.
