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.
He said: "But there is
Lūṭ there." They said:
"Well do we know who
Is there: we will certainly
Save him and his following,—
Except his wife: she is
Of those who lag behind!"
Now, if they embark
On a boat, they call
On God, making their devotion
Sincerely (and exclusively) to Him;
But when He has delivered
Them safely to (dry) land,
Behold, they give a share
(Of their worship to others)!—
When a wave covers them
Like the canopy (of clouds),
They call to God
Offering Him sincere devotion.
But when He has delivered them
Safely to land, there are
Among them those that halt
Between (right and wrong).
But none reject Our Signs
Except only a perfidious
Ungrateful (wretch)!
And God sets forth,
As an example
To those who believe,
The wife of Pharaoh:
Behold she said:
"O my Lord! build
For me, in nearness
To Thee, a mansion
In the Garden,
And save me from Pharaoh
And his doings,
And save me from
Those that do wrong";
