Verse 258

أَلَمْ Did not تَرَ you see إِلَى [towards] ٱلَّذِى the one who حَآجَّ argued إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ (with) Ibrahim فِى concerning رَبِّهِۦٓ his Lord أَنْ because ءَاتَىٰهُ gave him ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلْمُلْكَ the kingdom إِذْ When قَالَ Said إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ Ibrahim رَبِّىَ My Lord ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who يُحْىِۦ grants life وَيُمِيتُ and causes death قَالَ He said أَنَا۠ I أُحْىِۦ give life وَأُمِيتُ ۖ and cause death قَالَ Said إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ Ibrahim فَإِنَّ [Then] indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يَأْتِى brings up بِٱلشَّمْسِ the sun مِنَ from ٱلْمَشْرِقِ the east فَأْتِ so you bring بِهَا it مِنَ from ٱلْمَغْرِبِ the west فَبُهِتَ So became dumbfounded ٱلَّذِى the one who كَفَرَ ۗ disbelieved وَٱللَّهُ and Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ (who are) [the] wrongdoers ٢٥٨

Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allāh had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allāh brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
