21:88
ToOur mercyWe admitted them, for theywere upright men.
1
And (remember) Dhul-Nun : how he went away in anger, thinking
We had no power over him. But in the darkness, he cried: 'There is no
god butYou. Glory be toYou! I have done wrong.'
We heard his prayer and delivered him from affliction. Thus We
shall save the true believers.
And (remember) Zakariyya. who invoked his Lord, saying, 'Lord,
let me not remain childless, (though) of all heirsYou are the best.'
We heard his prayer and gave him Yahya, Curing his wife (of
sterility). They vied with each other in good works and called on Us
with piety, fear, and submission.
2
And (remember) the woman who kept her chastity We breathed
into her of Our spirit, andmade her and her son a sign to all men.
Verily, this brotherhood of yours is one brotherhood, and I amYour
only Lord. Therefore serve Me. Men have divided themselves (into
schisms), but to us they shall all return. He that does good
works in the fullness of his faith, his endeavours shall not be lost: We
record themall.
(It is ordained that) no nation We have destroyed shall ever rise
again. But when Gog andMagog are let loose and rush headlong down
every hill; when the true promise nears its fulfilment: the eyes of the
unbelievers will fixedly stare (and they will say): 'Woe to us' Of this
we have been heedless.We have done wrong.’
