اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذٖی حَٓاجَّ اِبْرٰهٖیمَ فٖی رَبِّهٖٓ اَنْ اٰتٰیهُ اللّٰهُ الْمُلْكَۘ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖیمُ رَبِّیَ الَّذٖی یُحْيٖ وَیُمٖیتُۙ قَالَ اَنَا𐻾 اُحْيٖ وَاُمٖیتُؕ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖیمُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَاْتٖی بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَاْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذٖی كَفَرَؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمٖینَۚ

Translations

Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allah 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, Allah brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people

Saheeh International

Bethink thee of him who had an argument with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom; how, when Abraham said: My Lord is He Who giveth life and causeth death, he answered: I give life and cause death. Abraham said: Lo! Allah causeth the sun to rise in the East, so do thou cause it to come up from the West. Thus was the disbeliever abashed. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk
