قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

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

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

While AllŒh created you and that which you do?"

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

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

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

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

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion,[1] 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 AllŒh wills, of the steadfast."

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

And when they had both submitted[1] and he put him down upon his forehead,

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

We called to him, "O Abraham,

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,[1]

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

"Peace upon Abraham."

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.[1]

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

And We gave them the explicit Scripture [i.e., the Torah],

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

And We guided them on the straight path.

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear AllŒh?
