Abraham, Ash-Shu'ara 75-82
“
He said: Do you then understand what you worship -- You and your forefathers? -- Surely they are abhorrence to me, except the Lord of the worlds, Who created me, then He guides me the way, And Who provides me sustenance to eat and to drink, And when I am sick, it is He who heals me, And Who will cause me to die, and will resurrect me, And Who, I hope, will forgive me and my mistakes on the Day of Judgment.
