وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُ هُمُ الْبَاقِينَ

Wa ja'alnaa zurriyyatahoo hummul baaqeen

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

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ

Salaamun 'alaa Noohin fil 'aalameen

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

Then We drowned the disbelievers.

وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْرَاهِيمَ

Wa ina min shee'atihee la Ibraaheem

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

Iz jaaa'a Rabbahoo bi qalbin saleem

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maazaa ta'budoon

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

أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

A'ifkan aalihatan doonal laahi tureedoon

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

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Famaa zannukum bi Rabbil'aalameen

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ

Fanazara nazratan finnujoom

And he cast a look at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ

Faqaala inee saqeem

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

فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ

Fatawallaw 'anhu mudbireen

So they turned away from him, departing.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

Faraagha ilaaa aalihatihim faqaala alaa taakuloon

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

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

Maa lakum laa tantiqoon

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

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ

Faraagha 'alaihim darbam bilyameen

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

فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

Fa aqbalooo ilaihi yaziffoon

Then the people came toward him, hastening.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

Qaala ata'budoona maa tanhitoon

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

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Wallaahu khalaqakum wa maa ta'maloon

While Allah created you and that which you do?"

قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ

Qaalub noo lahoo bun yaanan fa alqoohu fil jaheem

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

فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ

Fa araadoo bihee kaidan faja 'alnaahumul asfaleen

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

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ

Wa qaala innee zaahibun ilaa Rabbee sa yahdeen

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

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

Rabbi hab lee minas saaliheen

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

فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ

Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ

Falamma balagha ma'a hus sa'ya qaala yaa buniya inneee araa fil manaami anneee azbahuka fanzur maazaa taraa; qaala yaaa abatif 'al maa tu'maru satajidunee in shaaa'allaahu minas saabireen

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."
