Translation of page 449
- 37:77
And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
- 37:78
And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
- 37:79
"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."
- 37:80
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
- 37:81
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
- 37:82
Then We drowned the others [i.e., disbelievers].
- 37:83
And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,
- 37:84
When he came to his Lord with a sound heart
- 37:85
[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?
- 37:86
Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?
- 37:87
Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"
- 37:88
And he cast a look at the stars
- 37:89
And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."
- 37:90
So they turned away from him, departing.
- 37:91
Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?
- 37:92
What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"
- 37:93
And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.
- 37:94
Then they [i.e., the people] came toward him, hastening.
- 37:95
He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,
- 37:96
While Allāh created you and that which you do?"
- 37:97
They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."
- 37:98
And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.
- 37:99
And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.
- 37:100
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."
- 37:101
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
- 37:102
And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."
