LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

We gave right judgement and knowledge to Lut and rescued him
from the city which committed disgusting acts. They were evil peo-
ple who were deviators. (Surat al-Anbiya’, 74)

And Nuh, when he called out before and We responded to him and
rescued him and his family from the terrible plight. (Surat al-
Anbiya’, 76)
And Dhu’n-Nun (Yunus) when he left in anger and thought We
would not punish him. He called out in the pitch darkness: ‘There
is no god but You! Glory be to You! Truly I have been one of the
wrongdoers.’ We responded to him and rescued him from his grief.

That is how We rescue the believers. (Surat al-Anbiya’, 87-88)
When you and those with you are settled in the Ship, then say:
“Praise be to God Who has rescued us from the people of the
wrongdoers!” (Surat al-Mu’minun, 28)
So We revealed to Musa, ‘Strike the sea with your staff.’ And it split
in two, each part like a towering cliff. And We brought the others
right up to it. We rescued Musa and all those who were with him.
(Surat ash-Shu`ara’, 63-65)

He (Noah) said: “O my Lord! truly, my people have rejected me.
Judge rightly between us, and deliver me and those of the believers
who are with me.” So We rescued him (Nuh) and those with him
in the loaded ship. (Surat ash-Shu`ara’, 117-119)
(Lut said,) ‘My Lord, rescue me and my family from what they are

doing.’ Therefore We rescued him (Lut) and all his family. (Surat
ash-Shu`ara’, 169-170)
These are the ruins of their houses because of the wrong they did.
There is certainly a Sign in that for people with knowledge. We res-
cued those who believed and who guarded against evil. (Surat an-
Naml, 52-53)
