Favorite verse in the Quran

Abraham argues with a pagan about the supremacy of God.  Abraham notes that God is so powerful that He causes the sun to rise in the East.  Let us see if you can get it to rise in the West.  


Bethink thee of him who had an argument with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom; how, when Abraham said: My Lord is He Who giveth life and causeth death, he answered: I give life and cause death. Abraham said: Lo! Allah causeth the sun to rise in the East, so do thou cause it to come up from the West. Thus was the disbeliever abashed. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. 
~ Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) 2:258[1]
