Quote:
{16:120} Indeed, Abraham was a [comprehensive] leader, devoutly obedient to God, inclining toward truth, and he was not of those who associate others with God.
I like Aisha Bewley's translation of
كان أمة as "was a community in himself." I suggest,
{16:120} Verily, Abraham was a community (in himself), devoting to God, orthodox, and he wasn't of the polytheists.Quote:
{16:121} [He was] grateful for His favors. God chose him and guided him to a straight path.
I suggest,
{16:121} [He was] thankful for His favors. He picked him and guided him to a straight path.Quote:
{16:122} And We gave him good in this world, and indeed, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.
I suggest,
{16:122} And We gave him, in [this] the nearest [life], good, and verily, in the Hereafter he surely is among the righteous.
