Chapter 21, Page 329, Juz 17

85. And (remember) Ismā‘īl and Idrīs and Dhul-Kifl. Each one of them was of those who observed patience. 86. And We admitted them to Our mercy. Surely, they were of the righteous. 87. And (remember) Dhunnūn (the man of the fish, namely Yūnus X), when he walked away in anger and thought that We would never put him to trouble. Then, he called (Us) in depths of darkness saying, “There is no god but You. Pure are You. Indeed I was among the wrongdoers”. 88. So We responded to him and rescued him from the distress. And this is how We rescue the believers. 89. And (remember) Zakariyyā when he called his Lord, “My Lord, do not leave me alone and You are the best of inheritors.” 90. So, We responded to him and gave him YaHyā and made his wife good for him. They used to race towards the good deeds and call Us with hope and fear; and they were humble to Us. 91. And (remember) her who protected her private part (that is, Maryam). So, We blew in her (a life) through Our Spirit, and made her and her son (‘Īsā X) a sign for all the worlds.
