when he said to his father and his people, “What is that which you worship?

Do you wish (to have) fallacious gods other than Allah?

Then, what do you think about the Lord of the worlds?”

Then, he cast a look at the stars,

and then said, “I feel indisposed”

So they went away from him, turning their backs.

And he made his way to their ‘gods’ and said to them, “Why would you not eat?

And he said, “I am going to my Lord. He will show me the way.

O my Lord, bless me with a righteous son.”

So, We gave him the good news of a forbearing boy.

Thereafter, when he (the boy) reached an age in which he could work with him, he (Ibrāhīm) said, “O my little son, I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you, so consider, what is your opinion?” He said, “O my dear father, do what you have been ordered to do. You will find me, inshā’allah , (if Allah wills) one of those who endure patiently.”

So, (it was a great episode) when both of them submitted themselves (to Allah’s will), and he laid him on his forehead (to slaughter him),

and then We called out to him, “O Ibrāhīm,

you did make the dream come true.” This is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.
