رَبِّ هَب لي مِنَ الصّالِحينَ

“My Lord, grant me righteous offspring.”

فَبَشَّرناهُ بِغُلامٍ حَليمٍ

So We gave him the good news of a forbearing son.

فَلَمّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعيَ قالَ يا بُنَيَّ إِنّي أَرىٰ فِي المَنامِ أَنّي أَذبَحُكَ فَانظُر ماذا تَرىٰ ۚ قالَ يا أَبَتِ افعَل ما تُؤمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُني إِن شاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصّابِرينَ

When he was old enough to work with him, he said, “O my son, I saw in a dream that I’m sacrificing you, so see what you think?” He replied, “O my father, do as you’re commanded; you will find me, if God wills, one of the patient.”

فَلَمّا أَسلَما وَتَلَّهُ لِلجَبينِ

And when they had submitted, he put him down upon his forehead.

وَنادَيناهُ أَن يا إِبراهيمُ

But We called out to him, “O Abraham!

إِنَّ هـٰذا لَهُوَ البَلاءُ المُبينُ

That was a significant test.

وَفَدَيناهُ بِذِبحٍ عَظيمٍ

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.

وَتَرَكنا عَلَيهِ فِي الآخِرينَ

And We left for him favorable mention among later generations.

سَلامٌ عَلىٰ إِبراهيمَ

Peace be upon Abraham.

كَذٰلِكَ نَجزِي المُحسِنينَ

Thus do We reward those who do good.
