37:77 and made his offspring[1] the only survivors,

37:78 and We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

37:79 “Peace be upon Noah among all the nations.”

37:80 This is how We reward those who do good.

37:81 He was one of Our believing slaves.

37:82 Then we drowned the others.

37:83 Indeed, Abraham was one of those who followed his way.

37:84 When he came to his Lord with a sound heart,

37:85 and said to his father and his people, “What are you worshiping?

37:86 Is it false gods that you seek other than Allah?

37:87 Then what do you think of the Lord of the worlds?”

37:88 He then cast a glance at the stars[1],

37:89 and said, “I am sick[1].”

37:90 So they went away from him and left.

37:91 Then he turned to their gods and said, “Why do you not eat[1]?

37:92 What is wrong with you that you do not speak?”

37:93 Then he turned upon them, striking them with his right hand.

37:94 Then his people came rushing towards him.

37:95 He said, “Do you worship what you yourselves carve,

37:96 when it is Allah Who created you and all what you do?”

37:97 They said, “Build a pyre for him and throw him into the blazing fire.”

37:98 They contrived a plan against him, but We made them the lowest.

37:99 He said, “I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.

37:100 My Lord, grant me righteous offspring.”

37:101 So We gave him glad tidings of a forbearing boy[1].

37:102 Then when he reached the age where he could work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice you. What do you think?” He said, “O my dear father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, one of the steadfast.”
