Walaqad nadana noohun falaniAAma almujeeboona\n75. (In the days of old),\n Noah cried to Us,\n And We are the Best\n To hear prayer.\n76. Wanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi\n76. And We delivered him\n And his people from\n The Great Calamity,\n77. WajaAAalna thurriyyatahu humu albaqeena\n77. And made his progeny\n To endure (on this earth);\n78. Watarakna AAalayhi fee al-akhireena\n78. And We left (this blessing)\n For him among generations\n To come in later times:\n79. Salamun AAala noohin fee alAAalameena\n79. \"Peace and salutation to Noah\n Among the nations!\"\n80. Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena\n80. Thus indeed do We reward\n Those who do right.\n81. Innahu min AAibadina almu/mineena\n81. For he was one\n Of Our believing Servants.\n82. Thumma aghraqna al-akhareena\n82. Then the rest We overwhelmed\n In the Flood.\n83. Wa-inna min sheeAAatihi la-ibraheema\n83. Verily among those\n Who followed his Way\n Was Abraham.\n84. Ith jaa rabbahu biqalbin saleemin\n84. Behold, he approached his Lord\n With a sound heart.\n85. Ith qala li-abeehi waqawmihi matha taAAbudoona\n85. Behold, he said to his father\n And to his people, \"What\n Is that which ye worship?\n86. A-ifkan alihatan doona Allahi tureedoona\n86. \"Is it a Falsehood\u2014\n Gods other than God\u2014\n That ye desire?\n87. Fama thannukum birabbi alAAalameena\n87. \"Then what is your idea\n About the Lord of the\n Worlds?\"\n88. Fanathara nathratan fee alnnujoomi\n88. Then did he cast\n A glance at the Stars,\n89. And he said, \"I am\n Indeed sick (at heart)!\"\n90. Fatawallaw AAanhu mudbireena\n90. So they turned away\n From him, and departed.\n91. Faragha ila alihatihim faqala ala ta/kuloona\n91. When did he turn\n To their gods and said,\n \"Will ye not eat\n (Of the offerings before you)?\u2026\n92. \"What is the matter\n With you that ye\n Speak not (intelligently)?\"\n93. Faragha AAalayhim darban bialyameeni\n93. Then did he turn\n Upon them, striking (them)\n With the right hand.\n94. Faaqbaloo ilayhi yaziffoona\n94. Then came (the worshippers)\n With hurried steps,\n And faced (him).\n95. Qala ataAAbudoona ma tanhitoona\n95. He said: \"Worship ye\n That which ye have\n (Yourselves) carved?\n96. WaAllahu khalaqakum wama taAAmaloona\n96. \"But God has created you\n And your handiwork!\"\n97. Qaloo ibnoo lahu bunyanan faalqoohu fee aljaheemi\n97. They said, \"Build him\n A furnace, and throw him\n Into the blazing fire!\"\n98. Faaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu al-asfaleena\n98. (This failing), they then\n Sought a stratagem against him,\nBut We made them the ones\n Most humiliated!\n99. Waqala innee thahibun ila rabbee sayahdeeni\n99. He said: \"I will go\n To my Lord! He\n Will surely guide me!\n100. Rabbi hab lee mina alssaliheena\n100. \"O my Lord! grant me\n A righteous (son)!\"\n101. Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin\n101. So We gave him\n The good news\n Of a boy ready\n To suffer and forbear.\n102. Falamma balagha maAAahu alssaAAya qala ya bunayya innee ara fee almanami annee athbahuka faonthur matha tara qala ya abati ifAAal ma tu/maru satajidunee in shaa Allahu mina alssabireena\n102. Then, when (the son)\n Reached (the age of)\n (Serious) work with him,\n He said: \"O my son\n I see in vision\n That I offer thee in sacrifice:\n Now see what is\n Thy view!\" (The son) said:\n \"O my father! Do\n As thou art commanded:\nThou will find me,\n If God so wills one\n Practising Patience and Constancy!\"\n103. Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni\n103. So when they had both\n Submitted their wills (to God),\n And he had laid him\n Prostrate on his forehead\n (For sacrifice),\n104. Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu\n104. We called out to him,\n \"O Abraham!\n105. Qad saddaqta alrru/ya inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena\n105. \"Thou hast already fulfilled\n The vision!\"\u2014thus indeed\n Do We reward\n Those who do right.\n106. Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu\n106. For this was obviously\n A trial\u2014\n107. Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin\n107. And We ransomed him\n With a momentous sacrifice:\n108. Watarakna AAalayhi fee al-akhireena\n108. And We left (this blessing)\n For him among generations\n (To come) in later times:\n109. \"Peace and salutation\n To Abraham!\"\n110. Kathalika najzee almuhsineena\n110. Thus indeed do We reward\n Those who do right\n111. Innahu min AAibadina almu/mineena\n111. For he was one\n Of Our believing Servants.\n112. Wabashsharnahu bi-ishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena\n112. And We gave him\n The good news\n Of Isaac\u2014a prophet,\u2014\n One of the Righteous.\n113. Wabarakna AAalayhi waAAala ishaqa wamin thurriyyatihima muhsinun wathalimun linafsihi mubeenun\n113. We blessed him and Isaac:\n But of their progeny\n Are (some) that do right,\n And (some) that obviously\n Do wrong, to their own souls.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXXVII.: \u1e62\u0101ff\u0101t, or Those Ranged in Ranks.: Section 3 (75-113)","type":"page"}
