[37:77]

And made his seed the survivors,

[37:78]

And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

[37:79]

Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

[37:80]

Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[37:81]

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

[37:82]

Then We did drown the others.

[37:83]

And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

[37:84]

When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;

[37:85]

When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship ?

[37:86]

Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire ?

[37:87]

What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds ?

[37:88]

And he glanced a glance at the stars

[37:89]

Then said: Lo! I feel sick!

[37:90]

And they turned their backs and went away from him.

[37:91]

Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat ?

[37:92]

What aileth you that ye speak not ?

[37:93]

Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.

[37:94]

And (his people) came toward him, hastening.

[37:95]

He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve

[37:96]

When Allah hath created you and what ye make ?

[37:97]

They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red- hotfire.

[37:98]

And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.

[37:99]

And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.

[37:100]

My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

[37:101]

So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

[37:102]

And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou ? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
