4. There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him,
when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides
Allah. we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred
for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone": But not when Abraham said to his
father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy
behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we
turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Goal.

5. "Our Lord! Make us not a (test and) trial for the Unbelievers, but forgive us, our Lord!
for Thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
