- And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity.
- And made his progeny to endure (on this earth);
- And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:
- "Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!"
- Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
- For he was one of Our believing Servants.
- Then the rest We overwhelmed in the Flood.
- Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham.
- Behold He approached his Lord with a sound heart.
- Behold he said to his father and to his people "What is that which ye worship?
- "Is it a Falsehood gods other than Allah that ye desire?
- "Then what is your idea about the Lord of the Worlds?"
- Then did he cast a glance at the stars.
- And he said "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"
- So they turned away from him and departed.
- Then did he turn to their gods and said "Will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?...
- "What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?"
- Then did he turn upon them striking (them) with the right hand.
- Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps and faced (him).
- He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved?
- "But Allah has created you and your handiwork!"
- They said: "Build him a furnace and throw him into the blazing fire!"
- (This failing) they then sought a stratagem against him but We made them the ones most humiliated!
- He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
- "O my Lord! grant me a righteous (son)!"
