PROPHET ILLYAS

37:123 And verily, Iliyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers.

37:124 When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah?

37:125 "Will you call upon Ba'l (idol of his nation) and leave the Best of creators,

37:126 "Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"

37:127 And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

37:128 Except the chosen slaves of Allah.

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

37:130 Salamun (peace) be upon Ilyasin (Elias)!"

37:131 Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers)

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