{Prophet} have you not thought about the man who disputed with Abraham about his Lord, because God had given him power to rule? When Abraham said, 'It is my Lord who gives life and death,' he said, 'I too give life and death.' So Abraham said, 'God brings the sun from the east; so bring it from the west.' The disbeliever was dumbfounded: God does not guide those who do evil. 2:258 Surah Al-Baqarah
Or take the one who passed by a ruined town. He said, 'How will God give this life when it has died?' So God made him die for a hundred years, and then raised him up, saying, 'How long did you stay like that?' He answered, 'A day, or part of a day.' God said, 'No, you stayed like that for a hundred years. Look at your food and drink: they have not gone bad. Look at your donkey- We will make you a sign for the people- look at the bones: see how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh!' When all became clear to him, he said, 'Now I know that God has power over everything.'2:259
And when Abraham said, 'My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead,' He said, 'Do you not believe, then?' 'Yes,' said Abraham, 'but just to put my heart at rest.' So God said, 'Take four birds and train them to come back to you. Then place them on separate hilltops, call them back, and they will come flying to you: know that God is all powerful and wise.'2:260
It is those who have faith, and do not mix their faith with idolatry, who will be secure, and it is they who are rightly guided.' 6:82 Such was the argument We gave to Abraham against his people- We raise in rank whoever We will- your Lord is all wise, all knowing.
6:83 - It is not fitting for the Prophet and the believers to ask forgiveness for the idolaters- even if they are related to them- after having been shown that they are the inhabitants of the Blaze: 9:113 Abraham asked forgiveness for his father because he had made a promise to him, but once he realized that his father was an enemy of God, he washed his hands of him. Abraham was tender-hearted and forbearing. 9:114 God would not condemn for going astray those He has already guided {to the faith} before making entirely clear to them what they should avoid. God has knowledge of everything;9:115 { Surah At-Tawbah } _ Prophet Abraham . Messengers Lot To Abraham Our messengers brought good news. They said, 'Peace.' He answered, 'Peace,' and without delay he brought in a roasted calf.
11:69 When he saw that their hands did not reach towards the meal, he found this strange and became afraid of them. But they said, 'Do not be afraid. We have been sent against the people of Lot.' 11:70 His wife was standing {nearby} and laughed. We gave her good news of Isaac and, after him, of Jacob.
She said, 'Alas for me! How am I to bear a child when I am an old woman, and my husband here is an old man? That would be a strange thing!' 11:72 They said, 'Are you astonished at what God ordains? The grace of God and His blessings be upon you, people of this house! For He is worthy of all praise and glory.' Then, when the fear left Abraham and the good news came to him, he pleaded with Us for Lot's people, 11:74 for Abraham was forbearing, tender-hearted, and devout.
'Abraham, cease your pleading: what your Lord has ordained has come about; punishment is coming to them, which cannot be turned back.' 11:76 And when Our messengers came to Lot, he was anxious for them, feeling powerless to protect them, and said, 'This is a truly terrible day!' His people came rushing towards him; they used to commit foul deeds. He said, 'My people, here are my daughters. They are more wholesome for you, so have some fear of God and do not disgrace me with my guests. Is there not a single right-minded man among you?' 11:78 They said, 'You know very well that we have no right to your daughters. You know very well what we want.' He said, 'If only I had the strength to stop you or could rely on strong support!' 11:80 They {the messengers} said, 'Lot, we are your Lord's messengers. They will not reach you. Leave with your household in the dead of night, and let none of you turn back. Only your wife will suffer the fate that befalls the others. Their appointed time is the morning: is the morning not near?' And so when what We had ordained came about, We turned their town upside down and rained down stones of baked clay on it, layer upon layer, 11:82 { Surah Hud } marked from your Lord. It is not far from the evildoers.
