    Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

70. Ayah 70

    فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ

    So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

71. Ayah 71

    وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

    Then look how was the end of those who were warned -

74. Ayah 74

    إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

    But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

75. Ayah 75

    وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ

    And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

76. Ayah 76

    وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

77. Ayah 77

    And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

78. Ayah 78

    وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

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

79. Ayah 79

    سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    "Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

80. Ayah 80

    إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

    Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

    إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

82. Ayah 82

    ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

    Then We drowned the others [i.e., disbelievers].

83. Ayah 83

    ۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ

    And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

84. Ayah 84

    إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

    When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

85. Ayah 85

    إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ

    [And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

86. Ayah 86

    أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

    Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?

87. Ayah 87

    فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

88. Ayah 88

    فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ

    And he cast a look at the stars.

89. Ayah 89

    فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ

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

90. Ayah 90

    فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ

    So they turned away from him, departing.

91. Ayah 91

    فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

    Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

92. Ayah 92

    مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

    What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?".

93. Ayah 93

    فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ

    And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

94. Ayah 94

    فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

    Then they [i.e., the people] came toward him, hastening.

95. Ayah 95

    قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

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

96. Ayah 96

    وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

    While Allāh created you and that which you do?"

97. Ayah 97

    قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

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

98. Ayah 98

    فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ

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

99. Ayah 99

    وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

    And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

100. Ayah 100

     رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

     My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

101. Ayah 101

     فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ

     So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

102. Ayah 102

     فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

     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."

103. Ayah 103

     فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ

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

104. Ayah 104

     وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ

     We called to him, "O Abraham,

105. Ayah 105

     قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

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

106. Ayah 106

     إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ

     Indeed, this was the clear trial.

107. Ayah 107

     وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ

     And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

108. Ayah 108

     وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

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

109. Ayah 109

     سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

     "Peace upon Abraham."

110. Ayah 110

     كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

     Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

111. Ayah 111

     إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

     Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

112. Ayah 112

     وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

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

113. Ayah 113

     وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ

     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. Ayah 114

     وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

     And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

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

127. Ayah 127

     فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ

     And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,

144. Ayah 144

     لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

     He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

151. Ayah 151

     أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

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

152. Ayah 152

     وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ

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

158. Ayah 158

     وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

164. Ayah 164

     وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

     [The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.

165. Ayah 165

     وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

     And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

166. Ayah 166

     وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ

     And indeed, we are those who exalt Allāh."

167. Ayah 167

     وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ

     And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,

168. Ayah 168

     لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

     "If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

169. Ayah 169

     لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

     We would have been the chosen servants of Allāh."

170. Ayah 170

     فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

     But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

171. Ayah 171

     وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

     And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

172. Ayah 172

     إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ

     [That] indeed, they would be those given victory

173. Ayah 173

     وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

     And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.

174. Ayah 174

     فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

     So, [O Muḥammad], leave them for a time.

175. Ayah 175

     وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

     And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

176. Ayah 176

     أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

     Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

177. Ayah 177

     فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

     But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

178. Ayah 178

     وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

     And leave them for a time.

179. Ayah 179

     وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

     And see, for they are going to see.

180. Ayah 180

     سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
