إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Then We did drown the others.
۞وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ
And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ
When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?
أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?
فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ
And he glanced a glance at the stars
فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ
Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
