Prophet Elias Life According to Quran

The Quran mention that the majority of prophet Elias/ Elijah’s people denied the prophet and continued to follow idolatry.

“Peace be Unto Musa and Harun. Verily We! thus We recompense the well-doers. Verily the twain were of Our bondmen believing. And verily, llyas was one of the sent ones. Recall what time he said Unto his people: fear ye not? Call ye upon Bal and forsake the Best of creators. Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers? Then they belied him, so verily they are to be brought up. Except the bondmen of Allah sincere. We left for him among the posterit” 37 Surah As-Saaffat (120-129)

Peace be Unto Elyasin. Verily We! thus We recompense the well-doers. Verily he was one of Our bondmen believing. And verily Lut was of the sent ones. Recall what time We delivered him and his household, all. Save an old woman among the lingerers. Then We annihilated the others. And surely ye pass by them in the morning. And at night. Will ye not therefore reflect? And verily Yunus was Of the sent ones. 37 Surah As-Saaffat (130-139)

‘And let those alone who have taken their religion as a play and a sport and whom the life of the world hath beguiled. And admonish thou them therewith lest a soul be given up to perdition for that which it hath earned, when for him there shall be no friend or intercessor beside Allah, and when if he offer every equivalent it shall not be accepted of him. Those are they who are given up to perdition for that which they have earned. For them shall be drink of boiling water and a torment afflictive, for they were wont to disbelieve. Say thou: shall we call upon, beside Allah, that which can neither profit us nor hurt us, and shall we turn on our heels after Allah hath guided us, like unto one whom the Satans have be guiled to wander bewildered in the land, his : fellows calling him unto the right path: come unto us? Say thou: verily the guidance of Allah, that is the Guidance, and we are commanded to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds.
And that: establish prayer and fear Him; and it is He unto whom ye shall be gathered. And it is He who hath created the heavens and the earth in truth. And the Day when He saith: be, it shall become. His saying is the Reality. And His will be the dominion the Day the Trumpet will be blown. Knower of the Unseen and the seen, is the Wise, the Aware. And recall what time Ibrahim said unto his father Azar: takest thou idols for gods! Verily I see thee and thy people in error manifest. And in this wise We showed unto Ibrahim the governance of the heavens and the earth, and that he might become of the convinced. Then when the night darkened on him, he beheld a star. He said: this is mine Lord. Then when it set, he said. I love not the setting ones.

Then when he beheld the moon uprise, he said: this is mine Lord. Then when it set, he said: were it not that my Lord kept me guiding, surely I must have been of the erring people. Then when he beheld the sun uprise, he said: this is mine Lord; this is the greatest. Then when it set, he said: O my people! verily I am quit of that which ye associate. Verily I have set my countenance towards Him who hath created the heavens and the earth, upright, and am not of the associaters. And his people contended with him. He said; contend ye with me concerning Allah when He hath surely guided me? I fear not that which ye associate with Him save aught that mine Lord may will. My Lord comprehendeth everything in His Knowledge. Will ye not then be admonished?

And how should I fear that which ye have associated, while ye fear not to have associated with Allah that for which He hath sent down unto you no warranty? Which, then, of the two parties, is more worthy of security, if ye but knew? It is those who believe and confound not their belief with wrong doing. These! theirs is the security and they are the guided. And this was Our argument which We vouchsafed unto Ibrahim against his people. We raise in degrees whomsoever We list; verily thy Lord is Wise, Knowing. And We bestowed upon him Is-haq and Yaqub: each one We guided. And Nuh We had guided afore, and of his progeny Da-ud and Sulaiman and Ayyub and Yusuf and Musa and Harun. And thus We recompense the well-doers. And also Zakariyya and Yahya and Isa and llyas: each one was of the righteous. And Ismail and Alyasa and Yunus and Lut: each one of them We preferred above the worlds. )And also some of their fathers and their progeny and their brethren: We chose them and guided them onto the right path.’ Surah Al-Anaam 6 (70-87)
