But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-

Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:

"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"

Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

For he was one of our believing Servants.

So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).

Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all

Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:

Then We destroyed the rest.

Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-

And by night: will ye not understand?

So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).

When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,

He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:

Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.

Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,

He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.

But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,

And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.

And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.

And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.

Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-

Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?

Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

"(Allah) has begotten children"? but they are liars!

Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
