righteous.

86. And Ism'il (Ishmael) and Al-Yas' (Elisha), and Ynus (Jonah) and Lout (Lot), and each one of them We preferred above the 'Alamn (mankind and jinns) (of their times).

87. And also some of their fathers and their progeny and their brethren, We chose them, and We guided them to a Straight Path.

88. This is the Guidance of Allh with which He guides whomsoever He will of His slaves. But if they had joined in worship others with Allh, all that they used to do would have been of no benefit to them.

89. They are those whom We gave the Book, AlHukm (understanding of the religious laws), and Prophethood. But if these disbelieve therein (the Book, AlHukm and Prophethood), then, indeed We have entrusted it to a people (such as the Companions of Prophet Muhammad ) who are not disbelievers therein.

90. They are those whom Allh had guided. So follow their guidance. Say: "No reward I ask of you for this (the Qur'n). It is only a reminder for the 'Alamn (mankind and jinns)."

91. They (the Jews, Quraish pagans, idolaters, etc.) did not estimate Allh with an estimation due to Him when they said: "Nothing did Allh send down to any human being (by inspiration)." Say (O Muhammad ): "Who then sent down the Book which Msa (Moses) brought, a light and a guidance to mankind which you (the Jews) have made into (separate) papersheets, disclosing (some of it) and concealing (much). And you (believers in Allh and His Messenger Muhammad ), were taught (through the Qur'n) that which neither you nor your fathers knew." Say: "Allh (sent it down)." Then leave them to play in their vain discussions. (Tafsir Al-Qurtub, Vol.7, Page 37).

92. And this (the Qur'n) is a blessed Book which We have sent down, confirming (the revelations) which came before it, so that you may warn the Mother of Towns (i.e. Makkah) and all those around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in (the Qur'n), and they are constant in guarding their Salt (prayers).

93. And who can be more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allh, or says: "I have received inspiration," whereas he is not inspired in anything; and who says, "I will reveal the like of what Allh has revealed." And if you could but see when the Zlimn (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) are in the agonies of death, while the angels are stretching forth their hands (saying): "Deliver your souls! This day you shall be recompensed with the torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against Allh other than the truth. And you used to reject His Ayt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) with disrespect! "

94. And truly you have come unto Us alone (without wealth, companions or anything else) as We created you the first time. You have left behind you all that which We had bestowed on you. We see not with you your intercessors whom you claimed to be partners with Allh. Now all relations between you and them have been cut off, and all that you used to claim has vanished from you.

95. Verily! It is Allh Who causes the seedgrain and the fruitstone (like datestone, etc.) to split and sprout. He brings forth the living from the dead, and it is He Who brings forth the dead from the living. Such is Allh, then how are you deluded away from the truth?

96. (He is the) Cleaver of the daybreak. He has appointed the night for resting, and the sun and the moon for reckoning. Such is the measuring of the AllMighty, the AllKnowing.

97. It is He Who has set the stars for you, so that you may guide your course with their help through the darkness of the land and the sea. We have (indeed) explained in detail Our Ayt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, Revelations, etc.) for people who know.

98. It is He Who has created you from a single person (Adam), and has given you a place of residing (on the earth or in your mother's wombs) and a place of storage [in the earth (in your graves) or in your father's loins]. Indeed, We have explained in
