    ۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿٨٣﴾

    wa'inna min shīʿatihī la'ibrāhīm

    And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

84. 37:84 ▶

    إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ﴿٨٤﴾

    idh jā'a rabbahū biqalbin salīm

    When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

    faqāla 'innī saqīm

    And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

90. 37:90 ▶

    فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ﴿٩٠﴾

    fatawallaw ʿanhu mudbirīn

    So they turned away from him, departing.

91. 37:91 ▶

    فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٩١﴾

    qāla 'ataʿbudūna mā tanḥitūn

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

96. 37:96 ▶

    وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾

    wallāhu khalaqakum wamā taʿmalūn

    While Allāh created you and that which you do?"

97. 37:97 ▶

    قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٩٧﴾

    qālu bnū lahū bunyānan fa'alqūhu fi l-jaḥīm

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

98. 37:98 ▶

    فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ﴿٩٨﴾

    fa'arādū bihī kaydan fajaʿalnāhumu l-asfalīn

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

99. 37:99 ▶

    وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿٩٩﴾

    waqāla 'innī dhāhibun 'ilā rabbī sayahdīn

     fabashsharnāhu bighulāmin ḥalīm

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

     i.e., the ability to work and be of assistance.

103. 37:103 ▶

     فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ﴿١٠٣﴾

     falammā 'aslamā watallahū lil-jabīn

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

     To the command of Allāh.

104. 37:104 ▶

     وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ﴿١٠٤﴾

     wanādaynāhu 'ay yā'ibrāhīm

     We called to him, "O Abraham,

105. 37:105 ▶

     qad ṣaddaqta r-ru'yā | innā kadhālika najzi l-muḥsinīn

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

106. 37:106 ▶

     إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١٠٦﴾

     inna hādhā lahuwa l-balā'u l-mubīn

     Indeed, this was the clear trial.

107. 37:107 ▶

     وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿١٠٧﴾

     wafadaynāhu bidhibḥin ʿaẓīm

     And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

     Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) sent a huge ram to be sacrificed in place of Ishmael.

108. 37:108 ▶

     وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿١٠٨﴾

     wataraknā ʿalayhi fi l-ākhirīn

     إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١١١﴾

     innahū min ʿibādina l-mu'minīn

     wabashsharnāhu bi'isḥāqa nabiyyam mina ṣ-ṣāliḥīn

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

     This verifies that the firstborn son who was to be sacrificed was Ishmael and not Isaac, as claimed by the Jews and Christians.

113. 37:113 ▶

     وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ ﴿١١٣﴾

     wabāraknā ʿalayhi waʿalā 'isḥāq | wamin dhurriyyatihimā muḥsinuw waẓālimul linafsihī mubīn

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

114. 37:114 ▶

     وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ﴿١١٤﴾

     walaqad manannā ʿalā mūsā wahārūn

     And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

115. 37:115 ▶

     wanaṣarnāhum fakānū humu l-ghālibīn

     And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

117. 37:117 ▶

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

120. 37:120 ▶

     سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ﴿١٢٠﴾

     salāmun ʿalā mūsā wahārūn

     "Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

121. 37:121 ▶

     إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٢١﴾

     innā kadhālika najzi l-muḥsinīn

     Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

122. 37:122 ▶

     وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٢٣﴾

     wa'inna 'ilyāsa lamina l-mursalīn

     And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

124. 37:124 ▶

     إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٢٤﴾

     idh qāla liqawmihī 'alā tattaqūn

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

125. 37:125 ▶

     أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ ﴿١٢٥﴾

     atadʿūna baʿlaw watadharūna 'aḥsana l-khāliqīn

     Do you call upon Baʿl and leave the best of creators -

     The name of a great idol worshipped by the people and said to mean "lord."

126. 37:126 ▶

     ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٢٦﴾

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

130. 37:130 ▶

     سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ﴿١٣٠﴾

     salāmun ʿalā 'il yāsīn

     "Peace upon Elias."

     Ilyāseen is said by some commentators to be a plural form, meaning "Elias and those who followed him."

131. 37:131 ▶

     إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٣١﴾

     ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ﴿١٣٦﴾

     thumma dammarna l-ākharīn

     Then We destroyed the others.

137. 37:137 ▶

     idh 'abaqa 'ila l-fulki l-mashḥūn

     [Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

141. 37:141 ▶

     فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ﴿١٤١﴾

     fasāhama fakāna mina l-mudḥaḍīn

     And he drew lots and was among the losers.

     To determine who would be cast overboard in order to save the other passengers. Having been overloaded, the ship was on the verge of sinking.

     alā 'innahum min 'ifkihim layaqūlūn

     Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

152. 37:152 ▶

     وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ﴿١٥٢﴾

     walada llāhu wa'innahum lakādhibūn

     "Allāh has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

153. 37:153 ▶

     أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ﴿١٥٣﴾

     aṣṭafa l-banāti ʿala l-banīn

     Has He chosen daughters over sons?

154. 37:154 ▶

     مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿١٥٤﴾

     mā lakum kayfa taḥkumūn
