فَكَذَّبُوهُفَإِنَّهُمْلَمُحْضَرُونَ١٢٧

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

Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

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

"Peace upon Elias."¹

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

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

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

Then We destroyed the others.

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

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

And he drew lots¹ and was among the losers.

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.¹

And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.¹

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

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.¹

And We sent him¹ to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

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

So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?¹

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

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

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

Has He chosen daughters over sons?
