And We blessed Noah with the same favor; remember that he had invoked Us before those Prophets; We heard his prayer and delivered him and the people of his house from the great calamity

and helped him against those who had treated Our Revelations as false. They were indeed a very wicked people, so We drowned them all together.

And We bestowed the same favor upon David and Solomon: Remember the occasion when the two were judging a case regarding a field into which the goats of other people had strayed at night, and We Ourself were watching their conduct of the case.

At that time We guided Solomon to the right decision, though We had bestowed wisdom and knowledge upon both of them. We had subdued to David the mountains and the birds which joined with him in Our praise: It was We Who had done all this.

And We taught him for your benefit the armorer's craft so that you might protect yourselves from each other's violence. Are you, then, grateful?

So We heard his prayer, and delivered him from the affliction: Thus do We deliver the believers.

And (We showed a favor) to Zacharias, when he invoked his Lord, saying, "O Lord, do not leave me childless though Thou alone art the best Inheritor".

So We heard his prayer, and bestowed on him Yahya (John) and made his wife fit. (to bear a child) for him. These people exerted their utmost in righteous deeds and called upon Us with love and fear and they remained humble before Us.

And (We blessed) that woman who had kept her chastity. We breathed into her of Our Spirit and made her and her son a Sign to the whole world.

Indeed this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord: so worship Me alone.

But the people (of their own accord) cut asunder their (one) Creed into many religions; they have all to return to Us.
