Koran 7:173 — soera Al-A'raf, vers 173

أَوۡ تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَشۡرَكَ ءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبۡلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةٗ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡۖ أَفَتُهۡلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ

Of dat jullie niet zullen zeggen: “Het waren slechts onze vaders vroeger die anderen als deelgenoot in de aanbidding bij Allah namen en wij waren (slechts) hun afstammelingen; zult U ons dan vernietigen vanwege de daden van mannen die de leugen praktiseerden?”

Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done
