Translation

"And I follow the ways of my fathers,- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and never could we attribute any partners whatever to Allah: that (comes) of the grace of Allah to us and to mankind: yet most men are not grateful.

"Atalarım İbrahim, İshak ve Yakub'un dinine uydum. Bizim, Allah'a hiçbir şeyi ortak tutmamız olmaz. Bu, bize ve insanlara Allah'ın bir lutfudur. Fakat insanların çoğu şükretmezler."

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır · TR · public-domain

Atalarım İbrahim, İshak ve Yakup’un milletine (dinine) uydum. Allah’a herhangi bir şeyi ortak koşmamız bize yakışmaz. Bu, Allah’ın bize ve insanlara olan lütfundandır. Fakat insanların çoğu şükretmezler.

And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. It never was for us to attribute aught as partner to Allah. This is of the bounty of Allah unto us (the seed of Abraham) and unto mankind; but most men give not thanks.
