:127. But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-
:128. Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
:129. And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
:130. "Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
:131. Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
:132. For he was one of our believing Servants.
:133. So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
:134. Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
:135. Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
:136. Then We destroyed the rest.
:137. Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-
:138. And by night: will ye not understand?
:139. So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
:140. When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
:141. He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
:142. Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
:143. Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
:144. He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
:145. But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
:146. And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
:147. And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
:148. And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
:149. Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-
:150. Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
:151. Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
:152. "Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
:153. Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
