71 And most of the ancients surely went astray before them, |
72 And indeed We sent among them warners. |
73 Then see what was the end of those warned — |
74 Except the servants of Allāh, the purified ones. |
75 And Noah certainly called upon Us, and excellent Answerer of prayers are We! |
76 And We delivered him and his people from the great distress; |
77 And made his offspring the survivors, |
78 And left for him (praise) among the later generations, |
79 Peace be to Noah among the nations! |
80 Thus indeed do We reward the doers of good. |
81 Surely he was of Our believing servants. |
82 Then We drowned the others. |
83 And surely of his party was Abraham. |
84 When he came to his Lord with a secure heart. |
85 When he said to his sire and his people: What is it that you worship? |
86 A lie — gods besides Allāh do you desire? |
87 What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds? |
88 Then he glanced a glance at the stars, |
89 And said: Surely I am sick (of your deities). |
90 So they turned their backs on him, going away. |
91 Then he turned to their gods and said: Do you not eat? |
92 What is the matter with you that you speak not? |
93 So he turned upon them, smiting with the right hand. |
94 Then they came to him, hastening. |
95 He said: Do you worship that which you hew out? |
96 And Allāh has created you and what you make. |
97 They said: Build for him a building, then cast him into the flaming fire. |
