وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهٗ هُمُ الۡبَاقِيۡنَؗۖ‏

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَؗۖ‏

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰي نُوۡحٍ فِي الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ

Peace upon Noah among the worlds

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

ثُمَّ اَغۡرَقۡنَا الۡاٰخَرِيۡنَ

Then We drowned the disbelievers

وَاِنَّ مِنۡ شِيۡعَتِهٖ لَاِبۡرٰهِيۡمَۘ‏

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham

اِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهٗ بِقَلۡبٍ سَلِيۡمٍ

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

اِذۡ قَالَ لِاَبِيۡهِ وَقَوۡمِهٖ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَۚ‏

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship

اَئِفۡكًا اٰلِهَةً دُوۡنَ اللّٰهِ تُرِيۡدُوۡنَؕ‏

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire

فَمَا ظَنُّكُمۡ بِرَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةً فِي النُّجُوۡمِۙ‏

And he cast a look at the stars

فَقَالَ اِنِّيۡ سَقِيۡمٌ

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill

فَتَوَلَّوۡا عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِيۡنَ

So they turned away from him, departing

فَرَاغَ اِلٰ٘ي اٰلِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ اَلَا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَۚ‏

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنۡطِقُوۡنَ

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبًاۭ بِالۡيَمِيۡنِ

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand

فَاَقۡبَلُوۡ٘ا اِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّوۡنَ

Then the people came toward him, hastening

قَالَ اَتَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مَا تَنۡحِتُوۡنَۙ‏

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve

وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ

While Allah created you and that which you do

قَالُوا ابۡنُوۡا لَهٗ بُنۡيَانًا فَاَلۡقُوۡهُ فِي الۡجَحِيۡمِ

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire

فَاَرَادُوۡا بِهٖ كَيۡدًا فَجَعَلۡنٰهُمُ الۡاَسۡفَلِيۡنَ

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased

وَقَالَ اِنِّيۡ ذَاهِبٌ اِلٰي رَبِّيۡ سَيَهۡدِيۡنِ

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِيۡ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous

فَبَشَّرۡنٰهُ بِغُلٰمٍ حَلِيۡمٍ

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعۡيَ قَالَ يٰبُنَيَّ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَرٰي فِي الۡمَنَامِ اَنِّيۡ٘ اَذۡبَحُكَ فَانۡظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرٰيؕ قَالَ يٰ٘اَبَتِ افۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُؗ سَتَجِدُنِيۡ٘ اِنۡ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الصّٰبِرِيۡنَ

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 Allah wills, of the steadfast
