Surah 21. Al-Anbiyaa, Ayah 71
| وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- najjaynaa -hu wa- lot.(an) 'ilaa al- 'ard. 'allate baaraknaa fe -haa li- al- caalamen |
| Pickthall | : | And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples. |
| Asad | : | for We saved him and Lot, [his brother's son, by guiding them] to the land which We have blessed for all times to come.66 |
| Malik | : | We delivered him and his nephew Lut (Lot) and directed them to the land which We have blessed for all the people of the world. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | But We delivered him and (his nephew) Lut (and directed them) to the land which We have blessed for the nations. 2727 |
Note - 66Lit., "for all the worlds" or "for all people": i.e.,
Palestine, which subsequently became the homeland of a
long line of prophets. (Abraham's native place - and the
scene of his early struggles against polytheism - was Ur
in Mesopotamia.)

Note - 2727The land of Aram or Syria, which in its widest
connotation includes Canaan or Palestine. Syria is a
well-watered fertile land, with a Mediterranean
sea-coast, on which the famous commercial cities of Tyre
and Sidon were situated. Its population is very mixed, as
it has been a bone of contention between all the great
kingdoms and empires of Western Asia and Egypt, and
European interest in it dates from the most ancient
times.
