| 39. And WE destroyed Korah and Pharaoh and Haman. And Moses did come to them with manifest Signs, but they behaved arrogantly in the land, yet they could not outstrip Us. 40. So each one of them WE seized for his sin; of them were those against whom WE sent a violent sandstorm, and of them were those whom a roaring blast overtook, and of them were those whom WE caused the earth to swallow up, and of them were those whom WE drowned. And ALLAH did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. 41. The case of those who take helpers beside ALLAH is like unto the case of the spider that takes to itself a house; and, surely, the frailest of all houses is the house of the spider, if they but knew. 42. Verily, ALLAH knows whatever they call upon beside HIM; and HE is the Mighty, the Wise. 43. And these are similitudes which WE set forth for mankind, but only those understand them who have knowledge. 44. ALLAH created the heavens and the earth in accordance with the requirements of wisdom. In that, surely, is a Sign for the believers. 45. Recite that which has been revealed of the Book and observe Prayer. Surely, Prayer restrains one from indecency and manifest evil; and the remembrance of ALLAH is the greatest virtue. And ALLAH knows what you do. |
