    51:40So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy

41. وَفِي عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلۡعَقِيمَ ۝٤١

    51:41And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind

43. وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُواْ حَتَّىٰ حِينࣲ ۝٤٣

    51:43And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time

44. فَعَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ ۝٤٤

    51:44But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on

45. فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ مِن قِيَامࣲ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنتَصِرِينَ ۝٤٥

    51:45And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves

46. وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمࣰا فَٰسِقِينَ ۝٤٦

    51:46And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient

47. وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدࣲ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ۝٤٧

    51:47And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander

48. وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَٰهِدُونَ ۝٤٨

    51:48And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer

49. وَمِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٩

    51:49And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember

50. فَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرࣱ مُّبِينࣱ ۝٥٠

    51:50So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner

51. وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرࣱ مُّبِينࣱ ۝٥١

    51:51And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner

52. كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ ۝٥٢

    51:52Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman

53. أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ طَاغُونَ ۝٥٣

    51:53Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people

54. فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومࣲ ۝٥٤

    51:54So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed

55. وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ۝٥٥

    51:55And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers

56. وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ ۝٥٦

    51:56And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me

57. مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقࣲ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ ۝٥٧

    51:57I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me

58. إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ ۝٥٨

    51:58Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength

59. فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبࣰا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ۝٥٩

    51:59And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me

60. فَوَيۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ۝٦٠

    51:60And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised
