م، ونجم: طلع، نجوما ونجما، فصار النجم مرة اسما، ومرة مصدرا، فالنجوم مرة اسما كالقلوب والجيوب، ومرة مصدرا كالطلوع والغروب، ومنه شبه به طلوع النبات، والرأي، فقيل: نجم النبت والقرن، ونجم لي رأي نجما ونجوما، ونجم فلان على السلطان: صار
قوله تعالى: ﴿وأنجينا الذين آمنوا﴾ [النمل: 53] أي خلصناهم وأصل النجاة الانفصال من الشيء والتقصي منه. وذلك أن النجاة في الأصل المكان المرتفع، لأنه خلص عما حواليه من الأمكنة. وقيل: لأنه نجا من السيل. والناجي كأنه حل في ذلك المكان، ثم أطلق على كل خلاص.
Say: "Who is it
That delivereth you
From the dark recesses
Of land and sea,
When ye call upon Him
In humility
And silent terror:
If He only delivers us
From these (dangers),
(We vow) we shall truly
Show our gratitude?"
But they rejected him,
And We delivered him,
And those with him,
In the Ark:
But We overwhelmed
In the Flood those
Who rejected Our Signs.
They were indeed
A blind people!
And remember We rescued you
From Pharaoh's people,
Who afflicted you with
The worst of penalties,
Who slew your male children
And saved alive your females:
In that was a momentous
Trial from your Lord.
When they disregarded the warnings
That had been given them,
We rescued those who forbade
Evil; but We visited
The wrong-doers with a
Grievous punishment, because
They were given to transgression.
He it is who enableth you
To traverse through land
And sea; so that ye even board
Ships;—they sail with them
With a favourable wind,
And they rejoice thereat;
Then comes a stormy wind
And the waves come to them
From all sides, and they think
They are being overwhelmed:
They cry unto God, sincerely
Offering (their) duty unto Him,
Saying, "If Thou dost deliver us
From this, we shall truly
Show our gratitude!"
But when he delivereth them,
Behold! they transgress
Insolently through the earth
In defiance of right!
O mankind! your insolence
Is against your own souls,—
An enjoyment of the life
Of the Present: in the end,
To Us is your return,
And We shall show you
The truth of all that ye did.
Why were there not,
Among the generations before you,
Persons possessed of balanced
Good sense, prohibiting (men)
From mischief in the earth—
Except a few among them
Whom We saved (from harm)?
But the wrong-doers pursued
The enjoyment of the good things
Of life which were given them,
And persisted in sin.
Remember! Moses said
To his people: "Call to mind
The favour of God to you
When He delivered you
From the people of Pharaoh:
They set you hard tasks
And punishments, slaughtered
Your sons, and let your women-folk
Live: therein was
A tremendous trial from your Lord."
O ye Children of Israel!
We delivered you from
Your enemy, and We
Made a Covenant with you
On the right side of
Mount (Sinai), and We sent
Down to you Manna
And quails:
