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.
وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And Lot was indeed one of the messengers.
إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ
˹Remember˺ when We delivered him and all of his family,
إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ
except an old woman,1 who was one of the doomed.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Then We ˹utterly˺ destroyed the rest.
وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ
You ˹Meccans˺ certainly pass by their ruins day
وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ
and night. Will you not then understand?
