أَلَمْ
تَرَ
إِلَى
الَّذِي
حَاجَّ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ
فِي
رَبِّهِ
أَنْ
آتَاهُ
اللَّهُ
الْمُلْكَ
إِذْ
قَالَ
إِبْرَاهِيمُ
رَبِّيَ
الَّذِي
يُحْيِي
وَيُمِيتُ
قَالَ
أَنَا
أُحْيِي
وَأُمِيتُ
قَالَ
إِبْرَاهِيمُ
فَإِنَّ
اللَّهَ
يَأْتِي
بِالشَّمْسِ
مِنَ
الْمَشْرِقِ
فَأْتِ
بِهَا
مِنَ
الْمَغْرِبِ
فَبُهِتَ
الَّذِي
كَفَرَ
وَاللَّهُ
لَا
يَهْدِي
الْقَوْمَ
الظَّالِمِينَ

Have you not regarded him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, [only] because Allah had given him kingdom? When Abraham said, ‘My Lord is He who gives life and brings death,’ he replied, ‘I [too] give life and bring death.’ Abraham said, ‘Indeed Allah brings the sun from the east; now you bring it from the west.’ Thereat the faithless one was dumbfounded. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing lot.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because Allah had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a people unjust.
