[Saffat 37:103] Then (remember) when they both submitted to Allah’s command, and Ibrahim lay his son facing downwards. (The knife did not hurt Ismail) [Saffat 37:104] And We called out to him, “O Ibrahim!” [Saffat 37:105] “You have indeed made the dream come true”; and this is how We reward the virtuous. [Saffat 37:106] Indeed this was a clear test. [Saffat 37:107] And We rescued him in exchange of a great sacrifice. (The sacrifice of Ibrahim and Ismail – peace be upon them – is commemorated every year on 10,11 and 12 Zil Haj). [Saffat 37:108] And We kept his praise among the latter generations. [Saffat 37:109] Peace be upon Ibrahim! [Saffat 37:110] This is how We reward the virtuous. [Saffat 37:111] He is indeed one of Our high ranking, firmly believing bondmen. [Saffat 37:112] And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishaq, a Herald of the Hidden, from among those who deserve Our proximity. [Saffat 37:113] And We sent blessings upon him and Ishaq; and among their descendants - some who do good deeds, and some who clearly wrong themselves. Section 4 [Saffat 37:114] And We indeed did a great favour to Moosa and Haroon. [Saffat 37:115] And rescued them and their people from the great calamity. [Saffat 37:116] And We helped them, so they were victorious. [Saffat 37:117] And We bestowed the clear Book to both of them. [Saffat 37:118] And guided them to the Straight Path. [Saffat 37:119] And We kept their praise among the latter generations. [Saffat 37:120] Peace be upon Moosa and Haroon! [Saffat 37:121] This is how We reward the virtuous. [Saffat 37:122] Indeed they are two of Our high ranking, firmly believing bondmen. [Saffat 37:123] And indeed Ilyas is one of the Noble Messengers. [Saffat 37:124] When he said to his people, “Do you not fear?” [Saffat 37:125] “What! You worship Baal (an idol) and leave the Best Creator?” - [Saffat 37:126] “Allah, Who is,
your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?” |
