Read Surah Al-Anbiya

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ لِسُلَیْمٰنَ الرِّیْحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِیْ بِاَمْرِهٖۤ اِلَی الْاَرْضِ الَّتِیْ بٰرَكْنَا فِیْهَا ؕ وَ كُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عٰلِمِیْنَ۝۸۱

We made tempestuous winds obedient to Solomon which blew swiftly to sail at his bidding (with his ships) to the land We had blessed. We are cognisant of everything.

وَ مِنَ الشَّیٰطِیْنِ مَنْ یَّغُوْصُوْنَ لَهٗ وَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ عَمَلًا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ ۚ وَ كُنَّا لَهُمْ حٰفِظِیْنَۙ۝۸۲

And many of the devils (We also made obedient to him) who dived for him, and did many other things; and We kept watch over them.

وَ اَیُّوْبَ اِذْ نَادٰی رَبَّهٗۤ اَنِّیْ مَسَّنِیَ الضُّرُّ وَ اَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَۚۖ۝۸۳

(Remember) Job when he called to his Lord: "I am afflicted with distress, and You are the most compassionate of all."

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهٖ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَّ اٰتَیْنٰهُ اَهْلَهٗ وَ مِثْلَهُمْ مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَ ذِكْرٰی لِلْعٰبِدِیْنَ۝۸۴

So We heard his cry and relieved him of the misery he was in. We restored his family to him, and along with them gave him others similar to them as a grace from Us and reminder for those who are obedient.

وَ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ وَ اِدْرِیْسَ وَ ذَا الْكِفْلِ ؕ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَۚۖ۝۸۵

(Remember) Ishmael, Edris and Dhu´l-Kifl. They were men of fortitude,

وَ اَدْخَلْنٰهُمْ فِیْ رَحْمَتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ۝۸۶

And they were admitted to Our grace. Verily they were among the doers of good.

وَ ذَا النُّوْنِ اِذْ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ نَّقْدِرَ عَلَیْهِ فَنَادٰی فِی الظُّلُمٰتِ اَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْتَ سُبْحٰنَكَ ۖۗ اِنِّیْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَۚۖ۝۸۷

And (remember) Dhu´n-Noon (Jonah of the fish), when he went away in anger and imagined We will not test him (with distress). Then he called out from the darkness: "There is no god other than You. All glory to You; surely I was a sinner.

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ ۙ وَ نَجَّیْنٰهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ ؕ وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُـْۨجِی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۝۸۸

We heard his cry, and saved him from the anguish. That is how We deliver those who believe.

وَ زَكَرِیَّاۤ اِذْ نَادٰی رَبَّهٗ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِیْ فَرْدًا وَّ اَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْوٰرِثِیْنَۚۖ۝۸۹

(Remember) Zachariah when he called to his Lord: "Do not leave me alone (and childless), for you are the best of givers."

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ ؗ وَ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗ یَحْیٰی وَ اَصْلَحْنَا لَهٗ زَوْجَهٗ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا یُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِی الْخَیْرٰتِ وَ یَدْعُوْنَنَا رَغَبًا وَّ رَهَبًا ؕ وَ كَانُوْا لَنَا خٰشِعِیْنَ۝۹۰

So We heard him and gave him John, and cured his wife (of barrenness). These were men who vied in good deeds with one another, and prayed to Us with love and awe, and were meek before Us.
