43.21 - Or have We given them a book before it to which they are adhering? 43.22 - Rather, they say: Indeed, we found our fathers upon a course (of religion), and indeed, we are in their footsteps guided. 43.23 - And thus, We did not send before you in a village a warner except that its rich people said: Indeed, we found our fathers upon a course (of religion), and indeed, we are in their footsteps following. 43.24 - (The warner) said: Even if I bring to you a better guide than that upon which you found your fathers? They said: Indeed, we are, in that with which you are sent, unbelievers. 43.25 - So We took retribution from them; so see how was the consequence of the deniers. 43.26 - And when Ibrahim said to his father and his people: Indeed, I am disassociated from what you worship. 43.27 - Except for Him Who originated me; and indeed, He will guide me. 43.28 - And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that perhaps they will return. 43.29 - Rather, I gave enjoyment to them and their fathers until the truth came to them and an obvious messenger. 43.30 - And when the truth came to them, they said: This is magic, and indeed, we are in it unbelievers.
