This is how a Manifestation of God, the Prophet Abraham, gradually
discloses His mission:
006.076
YUSUFALI: When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This
is my Lord." But when it set, He said: "I love not those that set."
PICKTHAL: When the night grew dark upon him he beheld a star. He said:
This is my Lord. But when it set, he said: I love not things that set.
SHAKIR: So when the night over-shadowed him, he saw a star; said he: Is
this my Lord? So when it set, he said: I do not love the setting ones.
006.077
YUSUFALI: When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my
Lord." But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall
surely be among those who go astray."
PICKTHAL: And when he saw the moon uprising, he exclaimed: This is my
Lord. But when it set, he said: Unless my Lord guide me, I surely shall
become one of the folk who are astray.
SHAKIR: Then when he saw the moon rising, he said: Is this my Lord? So
when it set, he said: If my Lord had not guided me I should certainly be
of the erring people.
006.078
YUSUFALI: When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my
Lord; this is the greatest (of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my
people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.
PICKTHAL: And when he saw the sun uprising, he cried: This is my Lord!
This is greater! And when it set he exclaimed: O my people! Lo! I am free
from all that ye associate (with Him).
SHAKIR: Then when he saw the sun rising, he said: Is this my Lord? Is this
the greatest? So when it set, he said: O my people! surely I am clear of
what you set up (with Allah).
006.079
YUSUFALI: "For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who
created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to
Allah."
PICKTHAL: Lo! I have turned my face toward Him Who created the heavens and
the earth, as one by nature upright, and I am not of the idolaters.
SHAKIR: Surely I have turned myself, being upright, wholly to Him Who
originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not of the polytheists.
