فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ١٢٧

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ١٢٨

Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ ١٢٩

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ١٣٠

"Peace upon Elias."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٣١

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٣٢

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ١٣٣

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٣٤

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ ١٣٥

Except an old woman [i.e., his wife] among those who remained [with the evildoers].

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ ١٣٦

Then We destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ١٣٧

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

وَبِاللَّيْلِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٣٨

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ١٣٩

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ ١٤٠

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ ١٤١

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ١٤٢

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ ١٤٣

And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ١٤٤

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ ١٤٥

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

وَأَنبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ ١٤٦

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ١٤٧

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ١٤٨

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ ١٤٩

So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ ١٥٠

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

أَلَا إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ١٥١

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ ١٥٢

"Allāh has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ ١٥٣

Has He chosen daughters over sons?
