"Even before that We blessed Ibraheem with rectitude, for We knew him well. Remember that occasion when Ibraheem asked his father and his people, " What are these images to which you are so devoted?" They replied, " We found our forefathers worshipping them." He said, " Then certainly you and your forefathers have been in manifest error.'' They said, " have you brought us the truth or are you one of the triflers?" He replied, " Nay! Your Rabb is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. It is He who has created them and I am of those who bears witness to this. By Allah! I will certainly plan against your idols when you turn and go away." So he broke them all in pieces, except the biggest one of them, so that they may turn to it."
"O Mohammad, relate to them the story of Maryam in the Book (Quran) when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East. She chose to be secluded from them. We sent to her Our Angel and he appeared to her as a grown man. She said, " I seek Rahman's protection against you, leave me alone if you are Godfearing." He said," Don't be afraid, I am merely a messenger from your Rabb to tell you about the gift of a righteous son." She said, " How can I bear a son when no man has ever touched me nor am I unchaste?" The angel said, " So shall it be - your Rabb says, " It is easy for Me. We wish to make him a sign for mankind and a blessing from Us, and this matter has already been decreed." So she conceived the child and she retired to a remote place. The pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She cried in her anguish, " Ah! Would that I had died before this, and been long forgotten!" An angel from beneath consoled her saying, " Do not grieve! Your Rabb has provided a brook at your feet. If you shake the trunk of this palm tree, it will drop fresh ripe dates upon you. So eat, drink and refresh yourself. If you see any human being say, "I have vowed a fast for Rahman, so I will not speak to any human being today.
Carrying the baby, she came came back to her people. They said, "O Maryam! You have brought something hard to believe! O sister for Haroon! Your father was not a bad man nor your mother an unchaste woman." In response, she merely pointed to the baby. They said, " How can we talk to a babe in the cradle?" Whereupon the baby spoke out, " I am indeed a servant of Allah. He has given me the Book and made me a Prophet. He has made me blessed wherever I may be. He has commanded me to establish Salah and give Zakat as long as I live. He has exhorted me to honor my mother and has not made me arrogant, disobedient. Peace be upon me the day I was born, day I shall die and the day I will be raised to life again." Such was Isa, the son of Maryam, and this is a true statement about him concerning which they are in doubt." Quran, Maryam 19: 16-34 
"Then he (Dhul-Qarnain) set out on another expedition and marched on till he reached two mountains where he found a people who could hardly understand his language. They requested, " O! Dhul-Qarnain, The people of Yajuj and Majuj ravage this land , should we pay you tribute in order for you to build a wall-barrier between us and them? Dhul-Qarnain said, "That which my Rabb has granted me is more than enough, just help me with workers and I will erect a fortified barrier between you and them. Bring me panels of iron." Finally when they damned up the place between the two mountains, he said, "Ply your bellows." They did so until the iron wall became red hot, then he said, "Bring me some molten brass to pour over it." This became such a barrier that Yajuj and Majuj could not scale it or dig through it. He said, "This a blesssing from my Rabb, but you should know that when the promise of my Rabb shall come to pass, He will level it to the ground, for the promise of my Rabb is ever true.'' Quran Al-Kahf 18: 92-98
