53 And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron, a prophet.

54 And mention Ishmael in the Book. Surely he was truthful in promise, and he was a messenger, a prophet.

55 And he enjoined on his people prayer and almsgiving, and was one in whom his Lord was well pleased.

56 And mention Idrīs in the Book. Surely he was a truthful man, a prophet,

57 And We raised him to an elevated state.

58 These are they on whom Allāh bestowed favours, from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam, and of those whom We carried with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose. When the messages of the Beneficent were recited to them, they fell down in submission, weeping. [Prostration]

59 But there came after them an evil generation, who wasted prayers and followed lusts, so they will meet perdition,

60 Except those who repent and believe and do good — such will enter the Garden, and they will not be wronged in aught:

61 Gardens of perpetuity which the Beneficent has promised to His servants in the Unseen. Surely His promise ever comes to pass.

62 They will hear therein no vain discourse, but only, Peace! And they have their sustenance therein, morning and evening.

63 This is the Garden which We cause those of Our servants to inherit who keep their duty.

64 And we descend not but by the command of thy Lord. To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us and what is between these, and thy Lord is never forgetful.

65 Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, so serve Him and be patient in His service. Knowest thou any one equal to Him?

66 And says man: When I am dead, shall I truly be brought forth alive?

67 Does not man remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?
