Abraham was of the same faith
Translation 1260
One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
Abraham was of the same faith
Translation 1260
he came to his Lord with a devoted heart
Translation 1260
He said to his father and his people, ‘What are you worshipping
Translation 1260
How can you choose false gods instead of the true God
Translation 1260
So what is your opinion about the Lord of all the Worlds?’
Translation 1260
then he looked up to the stars
Translation 1260
He said, ‘I am sick,’
Translation 1260
so [his people] turned away from him and left
Translation 1260
He turned to their gods and said
Translation 1260
‘Do you not eat? Why do you not speak?’
Translation 1260
then he turned and struck them with his right arm
Translation 1260
His people hurried towards him
Translation 1260
but he said, ‘How can you worship things you carve with your own hands
Translation 1260
when it is God who has created you and all your handiwork?’
Translation 1260
They said, ‘Build a pyre and throw him into the blazing fire.’
Translation 1260
They wanted to harm him, but We humiliated them
Translation 1260
He said, ‘I will go to my Lord: He is sure to guide me
Translation 1260
Lord, grant me a righteous son,’
Translation 1260
so We gave him the good news that he would have a patient son
Translation 1260
When the boy was old enough to work with his father, Abraham said, ‘My son, I have seen myself sacrificing you in a dream. What do you think?’ He said, ‘Father, do as you are commanded and, God willing, you will find me steadfast.’
Translation 1260
When they had both submitted to God, and he had laid his son down on the side of his face
Translation 1260
We called out to him, ‘Abraham
Translation 1260
you have fulfilled the dream.’ This is how We reward those who do good
Translation 1260
it was a test to prove [their true characters]
Translation 1260
We ransomed his son with a momentous sacrifice
Translation 1260
and We let him be praised by succeeding generations
Translation 1260
‘Peace be upon Abraham!’
Translation 1260
This is how We reward those who do good
Translation 1260
truly he was one of Our faithful servants
Translation 1260
We gave Abraham the good news of Isaac- a prophet and a righteous man
Translation 1260
and blessed him and Isaac too: some of their offspring were good, but some clearly wronged themselves
Translation 1260
We also bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron
Translation 1260
We saved them and their people from great distress
Translation 1260
We helped them, so they were the ones to succeed
Translation 1260
We gave them the Scripture that makes things clear
Translation 1260
We guided them to the right path
Translation 1260
We let them be praised by succeeding generations
Translation 1260
‘Peace be upon Moses and Aaron!’
Translation 1260
This is how We reward those who do good
Translation 1260
truly they were among Our faithful servants
Translation 1260
Elijah too was one of the messengers
Translation 1260
He said to his people, ‘Have you no fear of God
Translation 1260
How can you invoke Baal and forsake the Most Gracious Creator
Translation 1260
God, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?’
Translation 1260
but they rejected him. They will be brought to punishment as a consequence
Translation 1260
not so the true servants of God
Translation 1260
We let him be praised by succeeding generations
Translation 1260
‘Peace be to Elijah!’
Translation 1260
This is how We reward those who do good
Translation 1260
truly he was one of Our faithful servants
Translation 1260
Lot was also one of the messengers
Translation 1260
We saved him and all his family
Translation 1260
except for an old woman who stayed behind
Translation 1260
and We destroyed the rest
Translation 1260
You [people] pass by their ruins morning
Translation 1260
and night: will you not take heed
Translation 1260
Jonah too was one of the messengers
Translation 1260
He fled to the overloaded ship
Translation 1260
They cast lots, he suffered defeat
Translation 1260
and a great fish swallowed him, for he had committed blameworthy acts
Translation 1260
If he had not been one of those who glorified God
Translation 1260
he would have stayed in its belly until the Day when all are raised up
Translation 1260
