Qur'anic verses - The Perseverants:

Ishmael, the son of Abraham; when he was a baby, he and his mother had nearly died of thirst in the desert round Makkah; but they were saved by the well of Zamzam, and he became the founder of the Arab nation.

Elisha (in Arabic, al-Yasa') lived in troublous times for both the Jewish kingdoms of Judah and Israel: there were wicked kings, and other nations were pressing in on them.

The story of Jonah (in Arabic, Yunus) is well-known: he was swallowed by a whale, but saved by God's mercy: through his preaching, his city (Nineveh) was saved: an ancient city located on the east bank of the Tigris, opposite the modern city of Mosul in the northern region of Iraq. It was the oldest city of the ancient Assyrian empire and its capital during the reign of Sennacherib until it was destroyed by a coalition of Babylonians and Medes in 612 BC.

Lut was a contemporary and nephew of Abraham: when the city of Sodom was destroyed for its unspeakable sin, he and his few followers were saved from that horrendous punishment.
