Long before that, We answered Noah when he cried out to Us: We saved him and his family from the great calamity
Translation 1260
and We helped him against the people who rejected Our signs- they were evil people, so We drowned them all
Translation 1260
And remember David and Solomon, when they gave judgement regarding the field into which sheep strayed by night and grazed. We witnessed their judgement
Translation 1260
and made Solomon understand the case [better], though We gave sound judgement and knowledge to both of them. We made the mountains and the birds celebrate Our praises with David- We did all these things
Translation 1260
We taught him how to make coats of mail for the benefit of you [people], to protect you in your wars, but are you grateful for this
Translation 1260
We harnessed the stormy wind for Solomon, so that it sped by his command to the land We had blessed- We have knowledge of all things
Translation 1260
and We made some of the jinn subservient to him, to dive for him and do other works besides. We were watching over them
Translation 1260
Remember Job, when he cried to his Lord, ‘Suffering has truly afflicted me, but you are the Most Merciful of the merciful.’
Translation 1260
We answered him, removed his suffering, and restored his family to him, along with more like them, as an act of grace from Us and a reminder for all who serve Us
Translation 1260
And remember Ishmael, Idris, and Dhu’l-Kifl: they were all steadfast
Translation 1260
We admitted them to Our mercy; they were truly righteous
Translation 1260
And remember the man with the whale,when he went off angrily, thinking We could not restrict him, but then he cried out in the deep darkness, ‘There is no God but You, glory be to You, I was wrong.’
Translation 1260
We answered him and saved him from distress: this is how We save the faithful
Translation 1260
Remember Zachariah, when he cried to his Lord, ‘My Lord, do not leave me childless, though You are the best of heirs.’
Translation 1260
We answered him––We gave him John, and cured his wife of barrenness- they were always keen to do good deeds. They called upon Us out of longing and awe, and humbled themselves before Us
Translation 1260
Remember the one who guarded her chastity. We breathed into her from Our Spirit and made her and her son a sign for all people
Translation 1260
[Messengers], this community of yours is one single community and I am your Lord, so serve Me
Translation 1260
They have torn their unity apart, but they will all return to Us
Translation 1260
If anyone does good deeds and is a believer, his efforts will not be ignored: We record them for him
Translation 1260
No community destroyed by Us can escape its return
Translation 1260
and when the peoples of Gog and Magog are let loose and swarm swiftly from every highland
Translation 1260
when the True Promise draws near, the disbelievers’ eyes will stare in terror, and they will say, ‘Woe to us! We were not aware of this at all. We were wrong.’
Translation 1260
You [disbelievers] and what you worship instead of God will be fuel for Hell: that is where you will go
Translation 1260
if these [idols] had been real gods they would not have gone there- you will all stay there
Translation 1260
There the disbelievers will be groaning piteously, but the [idols] will hear nothing
Translation 1260
