وَوَهَبنا لَهُ أَهلَهُ وَمِثلَهُم مَعَهُم رَحمَةً مِنّا وَذِكرىٰ لِأُولِي الأَلبابِ
We restored his family to him, and the same with them, as a mercy from Us, and a lesson for those with understanding.
وَخُذ بِيَدِكَ ضِغثًا فَاضرِب بِهِ وَلا تَحنَث ۗ إِنّا وَجَدناهُ صابِرًا ۚ نِعمَ العَبدُ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوّابٌ
“And take in your hand a bundle and strike with it, and don’t break your oath.” We found him patient. What an excellent servant he was, always returning.
وَاذكُر عِبادَنا إِبراهيمَ وَإِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ أُولِي الأَيدي وَالأَبصارِ
And mention Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, possessors of strength and insight.
إِنّا أَخلَصناهُم بِخالِصَةٍ ذِكرَى الدّارِ
We granted them a unique favor—the remembrance of the Home.
وَإِنَّهُم عِندَنا لَمِنَ المُصطَفَينَ الأَخيارِ
They are among Our chosen ones, the outstanding.
وَاذكُر إِسماعيلَ وَاليَسَعَ وَذَا الكِفلِ ۖ وَكُلٌّ مِنَ الأَخيارِ
Also remember Ishmael, Elisha, and Ezekiel. Each of them was among the excellent.
هـٰذا ذِكرٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلمُتَّقينَ لَحُسنَ مَآبٍ
This is a reminder. For the virtuous, there is a beautiful place of return.
جَنّاتِ عَدنٍ مُفَتَّحَةً لَهُمُ الأَبوابُ
Gardens of Eternity, the gates of which will be open to them.
مُتَّكِئينَ فيها يَدعونَ فيها بِفاكِهَةٍ كَثيرَةٍ وَشَرابٍ
Reclining therein, they will call for ample fruit and drink.
وَعِندَهُم قاصِراتُ الطَّرفِ أَترابٌ
Along with them will be chaste women with modest gaze, of equal age.
هـٰذا ما توعَدونَ لِيَومِ الحِسابِ
This is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning.
