Wa laqad dalla qablahum aksarul awwaleen

Translation

And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

Transliteration

Wa laqad arsalnaa feehim munzireen

Translation

And We had already sent among them warners.

Transliteration

Fanzur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatul munzareen

Translation

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."

Translation

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."

Translation

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

Transliteration

Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon

Translation

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
