عِنْدَ بَيْتِ اللهِ الْمُحَرَّمِ وَاسْتَجَابَ اللهُ

 

near Allah's Sacred House, and for whom Allah responded

فِيهِ دَعْوَةَ أَبِيْهِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ حِينَ قَلَ

 

to the prayer of his father, Abraham, who said,

رَبَّنَا إنِّي أَسْكَنَتُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِي زَرْعٍ عِنْدَ بَيْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِ

 

"O our Lord! Surely, I have settled a part of my offspring in a valley unproductive of fruit near Your Sacred House,

رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُوا الصَّلاَةَ فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ

 

our Lord, that they may keep up prayer; therefore make the hearts of some people

تَهْوِي إِلَيْهِمْ وَارْزُقْهُمْ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُنَ

 

yearn towards them and provide themn with fruits; haply they may be grateful.

when his father said to him, "O myy dear son! Surely, I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you;

فَانظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَى قَلَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُوْمَرُ

 

consider then what you see. He said : O my father! do what you are commanded;

سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَاللهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِيْنَ

 

if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones."

فَدَفَعَ اللهُ عَنْهُ الذَّبْحَ وَفَدَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيْمٍ

 

So, Allah spared him from being slain, and ransomed him with a feat sacrifice.

in His Book, saying, "And mention Ishmael in the Book;

اِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولاً نَبِيّاً

 

surely he was truthful in (his) promise, and he was a messenger, a prophet.

وَ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ

 

And he enjoined on his family prayer and almsgiving,
