Chapter 21, Page 329, Juz 17

85. And ˹remember˺ Ishmael, Enoch, and Ⱬul-Kifl. They were all steadfast. 86. We admitted them into Our mercy, for they were truly of the righteous. 87. And ˹remember˺ when the Man of the Whale stormed off ˹from his city˺ in a rage, thinking We would not restrain him. Then in the ˹veils of˺ darkness he cried out, “There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except You. Glory be to You! I have certainly done wrong.” 88. So We answered his prayer and rescued him from anguish. And so do We save the ˹true˺ believers. 89. And ˹remember˺ when Zachariah cried out to his Lord, “My Lord! Do not leave me childless, though You are the Best of Successors.” 90. So We answered his prayer, granted him John, and made his wife fertile. Indeed, they used to race in doing good, and call upon Us with hope and fear, totally humbling themselves before Us. 91. And ˹remember˺ the one who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her through Our angel, ˹Gabriel,˺ making her and her son a sign for all peoples.
