Translation of Verse 122-129

122. O Children of Israel! Remember My favours upon you and how I honoured you above the others.

123. And guard yourselves against the Day when no soul will be of any help to another. No ransom will be taken, no intercession accepted, and no help will be given.

124. ˹Remember˺ when Abraham was tested by his Lord with ˹certain˺ commandments, which he fulfilled. Allah said, "I will certainly make you into a role model for the people." Abraham asked, "What about my offspring?" Allah replied, "My covenant is not extended to the wrongdoers."

125. And ˹remember˺ when We made the Sacred House 47 a centre and a sanctuary for the people ˹saying˺, "˹You may˺ take the standing-place of Abraham 48 as a site of prayer." And We entrusted Abraham and Ishmael to purify My

126. And ˹remember˺ when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this city ˹of Mecca˺ secure and provide fruits to its people-those among them who believe in Allah and the Last Day." He answered, "As for those who disbelieve, I will let them enjoy themselves for a little while, then I will condemn them to the torment of the Fire. What an evil destination!"

127. And ˹remember˺ when Abraham raised the foundation of the House with Ishmael, ˹both praying,˺ "Our Lord! Accept ˹this˺ from us. You are indeed the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

128. Our Lord! Make us both ˹fully˺ submit to You 49 and from our descendants a nation that will submit to you. Show us our rituals, and turn to us in grace. You are truly the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.

129. Our Lord! Raise from among them a messenger who will recite to them Your revelations, teach them the Book and wisdom, and purify them. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Almighty, All-Wise."


Commentary

47. "The Sacred House" ( Ka'bah ) is a cube-shaped building in Mecca, Islam's holiest sanctuary, which Muslims face when they pray five times a day.

48. "The standing-place of Abraham" is the stone on which Abraham stood while he was building the Ka'bah .

49. lit., make both of us Muslims. The word "Muslim" means "one who submits to Allah." All of the prophets submitted to Allah and were, therefore, Muslims.
