Fathers
....

They said: We shall worship thy God,
the God of thy fathers, Abraham and
Ishmael and Isaac, One God,

Quran is important, not the established norms of
forefathers
1

when ye have completed your devotions,
then remember Allah as ye remember your
fathers or with a more lively remembrance. 
1

And marry not those women whom your fathers 
married, except what hath already happened 
(of that nature) in the past.
1

And when it is said unto them: Come unto that which
Allah hath revealed and unto the messenger,
they say: Enough for us is that wherein we found
our fathers. What! Even though their fathers had
no knowledge whatsoever, and no guidance?
1

With some of their forefathers and thee offspring
and thee brethren; and We chose them and guided
them unto a straight path
1

ye were taught that which ye knew not yourselves
nor (did) your fathers (know it)? Say: Allah.
Then leave them to their play of cavilling
1

They who are idolaters will say: Had Allah willed,
we had not ascribed (unto Him) partners neither
had our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught.
Thus did those who were before them give the
lie (to Allah's messengers) till they tasted
of the fear of Us.
1

O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you as he caused
your (first) parents to go forth from the Garden and
tore off from them their robe (of innocence) that be
might manifest their shame to them
1

And when they do some lewdness they say: We found
our fathers doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us.
1

They said: Hast come unto us that we should serve
Allah alone, and forsake what our fathers worshipped?
1

Would ye wrangle with me over names which ye have named,
ye and your fathers, for which no warrant from Allah
hath been revealed?
1

Then changed We the evil plight for good till they
grew affluent and said: Tribulation and distress
did touch our fathers. Then We seized them unawares,
when they perceived not
1

Or lest ye should say: (It is) only (that) our fathers
ascribed partners to Allah of old and we were (their)
seed after them. Wilt Thou destroy us on account of
that which those who follow falsehood did?
1

They said: Hast thou come unto us to pervert us
from that (faith) in which we found our fathers,
and that you two may own the place of greatness
in the land? We will not believe you two
