Its root in the classical dictionaries
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.
And remember, We 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.
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?"
"We should indeed invent
A lie against God,
If we returned to your ways
After God hath rescued
Us therefrom; nor could we
By any manner of means
Return thereto unless it be
As in the will and plan of God,
Our Lord. Our Lord
Can reach out to the utmost
Recesses of things by His
knowledge.
In God is our trust.
Our Lord! Decide thou
Between us and our people
In truth, for thou
Art the best to decide."
They rejected him,
But We delivered him,
And those with him,
In the Ark, and We made
Them inherit (the earth),
While We overwhelmed
In the Flood those
Who rejected Our Signs.
Then see what was the end
Of those who were warned
(But heeded not)!
"This day shall We save thee
In thy body, that thou
Mayest be a Sign to those
Who come after thee!
But verily, many among mankind
Are heedless of Our Signs!"
When Our Decree issued,
We saved Sālih and those
Who believed with him,
By (special) Grace from
Ourselves—
And from the Ignominy
Of that Day. For thy Lord—
He is the Strong One, and Able
To enforce His Will.
When Our decree issued,
We saved Shu’aib and those
Who believed with him,
By (special) Mercy from Ourselves
But the (mighty) Blast did seize
The wrong-doers, and they
Lay prostrate in their homes
By the morning,—
(Respite will be granted)
Until, when the apostles
Give up hope (of their people)
And (come to) think that they
Were treated as liars,
There reaches them Our help,
And those whom We will
Are delivered into safety.
But never will be warded off
Our punishment from those
Who are in sin.
When distress seizes you
At sea, those that ye
Call upon—besides Himself—
Leave you in the lurch!
But when He brings you back
Safe to land, ye turn
Away (from Him). Most ungrateful
Is man!
"Behold! thy sister goeth forth
And saith, "Shall I show you
One who will nurse
And rear the (child)?
So We brought thee back
To thy mother, that her eye
Might be cooled and she
Should not grieve.
Then thou didst slay
A man, but We saved thee
From trouble, and We tried
Thee in various ways.
Then didst thou tarry
A number of years
With the people of Midian.
Then didst thou come hither
As ordained, O Moses!
And to Lūt, too,
We gave Judgment and Knowledge,
And We saved him
From the town which practised
Abominations: truly they were
A people given to Evil,
A rebellious people.
