Pickthall

33 That we may send upon them stones of clay,

36 But We found there but one house of those surrendered (to Allah).

Transliteration

36 Fama wajadna feeha ghayra baytin mina almuslimeena

Pickthall

37 And We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom.

Transliteration

37 Watarakna feeha ayatan lillatheena yakhafoona alAAathaba alaleema

Pickthall

38 And in Moses (too, there is a portent) when We sent him unto Pharaoh with clear warrant,

38 Wafee moosa ith arsalnahu ila firAAawna bisultanin mubeenin

Pickthall

39 But he withdrew (confiding) in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman.

Transliteration

39 Fatawalla biruknihi waqala sahirun aw majnoonun

Pickthall

40 So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was reprobate.

Transliteration

40 Faakhathnahu wajunoodahu fanabathnahum fee alyammi wahuwa muleemun

42 It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.

Transliteration

42 Ma tatharu min shayin atat AAalayhi illa jaAAalathu kaalrrameemi

43 And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was told them: Take your ease awhile.

Transliteration

43 Wafee thamooda ith qeela lahum tamattaAAoo hatta heenin

Pickthall

44 But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;

Transliteration

44 FaAAataw AAan amri rabbihim faakhathathumu alssaAAiqatu wahum yanthuroona

Pickthall

45 And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.

Transliteration

45 Fama istataAAoo min qiyamin wama kanoo muntasireena

Pickthall

46 And the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious folk.

Transliteration

46 Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo qawman fasiqeena

48 And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!

Pickthall

49 And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.

Transliteration

49 Wamin kulli shayin khalaqna zawjayni laAAallakum tathakkaroona

Pickthall

50 Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.

Transliteration

50 Fafirroo ila Allahi innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun

Pickthall

51 And set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from Him.

Transliteration

51 Wala tajAAaloo maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun

Pickthall

52 Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!

Transliteration

52 Kathalika ma ata allatheena min qablihim min rasoolin illa qaloo sahirun aw majnoonun

Pickthall

53 Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another ? Nay, but they are froward folk.

Transliteration

53 Atawasaw bihi bal hum qawmun taghoona

Pickthall

54 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,

Transliteration

54 Fatawalla AAanhum fama anta bimaloomin

Pickthall

55 And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

Transliteration

55 Wathakkir fainna alththikra tanfaAAu almumineena

Pickthall

56 I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.

Transliteration

56 Wama khalaqtu aljinna waalinsa illa liyaAAbudooni

Pickthall

57 I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.

Transliteration

57 Ma oreedu minhum min rizqin wama oreedu an yutAAimooni

Pickthall

58 Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.

Transliteration

58 Inna Allaha huwa alrrazzaqu thoo alquwwati almateenu

Pickthall

59 And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).

Transliteration

59 Fainna lillatheena thalamoo thanooban mithla thanoobi ashabihim fala yastaAAjiloona

Pickthall

60 And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.

Transliteration

60 Fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo min yawmihimu allathee yooAAadoona
