Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali, Muhammad Muhsin Khan — 451

37:127 127. But they denied him [Iliyâs (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),

37:128 128. Except the chosen slaves of Allâh.

37:129 129. And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

37:130 130. "Salâm (peace) be upon Ilyâsîn (Elias)!"

37:131 131. Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allâh’s sake only - See V.2:112).

37:132 132. Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

37:133 133. And verily, Lût (Lot) was one of the Messengers.

37:134 134. When We saved him and his family, all,

37:135 135. Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.

37:136 136. Then We destroyed the rest (the town of Sodom at the place of the Dead Sea now in Palestine).

37:137 137. Verily, you pass by them in the morning

37:138 138. And at night; will you not then reflect?

37:139 139. And, verily, Yûnus (Jonah) was one of the Messengers.

37:140 140. When he ran to the laden ship:

37:141 141. Then he (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers.

37:142 142. Then a (big) fish swallowed him as he had done an act worthy of blame.

37:143 143. Had he not been of them who glorify Allâh,

37:144 144. He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

37:145 145. But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,

37:146 146. And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

37:147 147. And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.

37:148 148. And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

37:149 149. Now ask them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"

37:150 150. Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?

37:151 151. Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:

37:152 152. "Allâh has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allâh)?" And, verily, they are liars!

37:153 153. Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?
