فَعَتَوا عَن أَمرِ رَبِّهِم فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الصّاعِقَةُ وَهُم يَنظُرونَ

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

فَمَا استَطاعوا مِن قِيامٍ وَما كانوا مُنتَصِرينَ

And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

وَقَومَ نوحٍ مِن قَبلُ ۖ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومًا فاسِقينَ

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

وَالسَّماءَ بَنَيناها بِأَيدٍ وَإِنّا لَموسِعونَ

And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

وَالأَرضَ فَرَشناها فَنِعمَ الماهِدونَ

And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

فَفِرّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنّي لَكُم مِنهُ نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ

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

وَلا تَجعَلوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلـٰهًا آخَرَ ۖ إِنّي لَكُم مِنهُ نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ

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

كَذٰلِكَ ما أَتَى الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم مِن رَسولٍ إِلّا قالوا ساحِرٌ أَو مَجنونٌ

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

أَتَواصَوا بِهِ ۚ بَل هُم قَومٌ طاغونَ

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

فَتَوَلَّ عَنهُم فَما أَنتَ بِمَلومٍ

So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.
