إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
˹Remember˺ when he said to his people, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?
أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ
Do you call upon ˹the idol of˺ Ba’l and abandon the Best of Creators—
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?”
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ
But they rejected him, so they will certainly be brought ˹for punishment˺.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
We blessed him ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations:
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ
“Peace be upon Elias.”
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
He was truly one of Our faithful servants.
