37:127 But they rejected him, so they will surely be brought [for punishment],

37:128 except the chosen slaves of Allah.

37:129 And We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

37:130 “Peace be upon Elias.”

37:131 This is how We reward those who do good.

37:132 He was one of Our believing slaves.

37:133 Lot was indeed one of the messengers.

37:134 When We saved him and all of his household,

37:135 except an old woman[1] who was among those who stayed behind.

37:152 “Allah has children,” and they are truly liars.

37:153 Did He choose daughters over sons[1]?
