19:40 40. Verily We will inherit the earth and whatsoever is thereon. And to Us they all shall be returned,

19:41 41. And mention in the Book (the Qur’ân) Ibrâhîm (Abraham). Verily he was a man of truth, a Prophet.

19:42 42. When he said to his father: "O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything?

19:43 43. "O my father! Verily there has come to me of the knowledge that which came not unto you. So follow me, I will guide you to the Straight Path.
