    Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

    51:24
  25. إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمࣰا ۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمࣱ قَوْمࣱ مُّنكَرُونَ

    When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

    51:25
  26. فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلࣲ سَمِينࣲ

    And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

    51:27
  28. فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةࣰ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمࣲ

    And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

    51:28
  29. فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةࣲ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمࣱ

    And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

    51:29
  30. قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

    They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

    51:30
  31. ۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

    [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

    51:31
  32. قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمࣲ مُّجْرِمِينَ

    They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

    51:32
  33. لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةࣰ مِّن طِينࣲ

    To send down upon them stones of clay,

    51:33
  34. مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ

    Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

    51:34
  35. فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

    51:35
  36. فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

    And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

    51:36
  37. وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةࣰ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

    And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

    51:37
  38. وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِينࣲ

    And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

    51:38
  39. فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونࣱ

    But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

    51:39
  40. فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمࣱ

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

    51:40
  41. وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ

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

    51:41
  42. مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ

    It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

    51:42
  43. وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينࣲ

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

    51:43
  44. فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

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

    51:44
  45. فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامࣲ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ

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

    51:45
  46. وَقَوْمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمࣰا فَـٰسِقِينَ

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

    51:46
  47. وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دࣲ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

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

    51:47
  48. وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ

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

    51:48
  49. وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

    And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.

    51:49
  50. فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرࣱ مُّبِينࣱ

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

    51:50
  51. وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرࣱ مُّبِينࣱ

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

    51:51
  52. كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

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

    51:52
  53. أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمࣱ طَاغُونَ

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

    51:53
  54. فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومࣲ

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

    51:54
  55. وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

    51:55
  56. وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

    And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

    51:56
  57. مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقࣲ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ

    I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

    51:57
  58. إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ

    Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

    51:58
  59. فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبࣰا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

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

    51:59
  60. فَوَيْلࣱ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

    And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.

    51:60
