Ibrahim was a model of piety, an upright man obedient to Allah. He
was no polytheist. (He was) grateful for His favours. He chose him and
guided him to a straight path. We blessed him in this world, and in the
world to come he shall dwell amongst the righteous.
ThenWe revealed to you: 'Follow the faith of saintly Ibrahim: he was
no polytheist.'

the Day of Resurrection, your Lordwill judge their disputes.

If you punish, let your punishment be proportionate to the wrong that
has been done you. But if you are patient, it is certainly best for the
patient.
Be patient (then); and your patience is (possible) only by Allah's
(help). Do not grieve for the unbelievers, nor distress yourself at their
intrigues.
