37:99

وَقَالَ إِنِّی ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ ۝٩٩

37:101

فَبَشَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِیمࣲ ۝١٠١

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

So We gave him the good tidings of a forbearing youth

fabasharnāhu bighulāmin ḥalīmi

37:102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡیَ قَالَ یَـٰبُنَیَّ إِنِّیۤ أَرَىٰ فِی ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّیۤ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ یَـٰۤأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِیۤ إِن شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ ۝١٠٢

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Then when he (His son) reached the age of endeavoring with him, he said, "O my son, surely I see in a dream (Literally: time of sleeping) that I should slay you; so, look, what do you see?" He said, "O my (dear) father, perform whatever you are commanded; you will soon find me, in case Allah (so) decides, among the patient."

37:107

وَفَدَیۡنَـٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِیمࣲ ۝١٠٧

37:145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَاۤءِ وَهُوَ سَقِیمࣱ ۝١٤٥

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Then We flung him off upon the naked (shore) and he was ailing

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةَ إِنَـٰثࣰا وَهُمۡ شَـٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥٠

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Or even did We create the Angels females, and they were witnesses?"

37:151

أَلَاۤ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَیَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Verily, surely it is of their falsehood, indeed, (that) they say

37:155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Will you then not be mindful

afalā tadhakkarūn

37:156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَـٰنࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝١٥٦

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Or even do you have an evident all- binding authority

37:161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Yet surely you and whatever you worship

fa-innakum wamā taʿbudūn

37:162

مَاۤ أَنتُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ بِفَـٰتِنِینَ ۝١٦٢

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

37:165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّاۤفُّونَ ۝١٦٥

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

And surely we, indeed we, are the ones ranged in ranks

37:166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ ۝١٦٦

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

And surely we, indeed we, are the extollers (of Allah)."

wa-innā lanaḥnu l-musabiḥūn

37:167

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَیَقُولُونَ ۝١٦٧

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

And decidedly they (i.e., the disbelievers) indeed used to say

wa-in kānū layaqūlūn

37:168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٦٨

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

"If only we had in our presence a Remembrance (i.e., Scriptures) from the earliest (people)

37:169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ ۝١٦٩

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Indeed we would be the most faithful bondmen of Allah."

lakunnā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīn

37:170

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ یَعۡلَمُونَ ۝١٧٠

37:174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ ۝١٧٤

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

So turn away from them for a while

37:176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ۝١٧٦

Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali

Do they then seek to hasten Our torment
