Sura Al-Saffat from 77 to 102

77. And, his progeny, them We made the survivors ( i.e. Shem, Ham and Japheth ) .
78. And left for him ( a goodly remembrance ) among the later generations:
79. « Salâm ( peace ) be upon Nûh ( Noah ) ( from Us ) among the ‘Âlamîn ( mankind, jinn and all that exists ) ! »
80. Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinûn ( good- doers - See V.2:112 ) .
81. Verily, he [ Nûh ( Noah ) ] was one of Our believing slaves.
82. Then We drowned the others ( disbelievers and polytheists ) .
83. And, verily, among those who followed his [ Nûh’s ( Noah ) ] way ( Islâmic Monotheism ) was Ibrâhîm ( Abraham ) .
84. When he came to his Lord with a pure heart [ attached to Allâh Alone and none else, worshipping none but Allâh Alone - true Islâmic Monotheism, pure from the filth of polytheism ] .
85. When he said to his father and to his people: « What is it that which you worship?»
86. « Is it a falsehood - âlihah ( gods ) other than Allâh - that you desire?»
87. « Then what think you about the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn ( mankind, jinn, and all that exists ) ? »
88. Then he cast a glance at the stars,
89. And he said: « Verily, I am sick [ 1 ] ( with plague ) . [ He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to the pagan feast ) ] . »
90. So they turned away from him, and departed ( for fear of the disease ) .
91. Then he turned to their âlihah ( gods ) and said: « Will you not eat ( of the offering before you ) ?»
92. « What is the matter with you that you speak not? »
93. Then he turned upon them, striking ( them ) with ( his ) right hand.
94. Then they ( the worshippers of idols ) came, towards him, hastening.
95. He said: « Worship you that which you ( yourselves ) carve?»
96. « While Allâh has created you and what you make! »
97. They said: « Build for him a building ( it is said that the building was like a furnace ) and throw him into the blazing fire! »
98. So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.
99. And he said ( after his rescue from the fire ) : « Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me! »
100. « My Lord! Grant me ( offspring ) from the righteous. »
101. So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.
102. And, when he ( his son ) was old enough to walk with him, he said: « O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you ( offering you in sacrifice to Allâh ) . So look what you think! » He said: « O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Inshâ’ Allâh ( if Allâh wills ) , you shall find me of As- Sâbirûn ( the patient ) . »
