Transliteration:( Falammmaa ra al qamara baazighan qaala haazaa Rabbee falammaaa afala qaala la'il lam yahdinee Rabbee la akoonanna minal qawmid daaalleen )
"Then when he saw the moon rising, he said, 'This is my Lord.' But when it set, he said, 'If my Lord does not guide me, I will surely be among the misguided people [155].'"
This verse continues Prophet Ibrahim’s عليه السلام logical rejection of celestial worship. His words, “If my Lord does not guide me…” reflect humility, but also affirm that he was already guided by Allah. It expresses that without divine guidance, one would be lost, yet he himself had been granted that guidance from the start, proving he was never among the misled.
