﴿٩٣﴾ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

93. Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?

﴿٩٤﴾ فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

100. Now we have no intercessors

﴿١٠١﴾ وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ

101. Nor any loving friend.

﴿١٠٢﴾ فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

102. Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers!

﴿١١٠﴾ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

110. So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.

114. And I am not (here) to repulse believers.

﴿١١٥﴾ إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

115. I am only a plain warner.

﴿١١٦﴾ قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ

﴿١٥١﴾ وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

151. And obey not the command of the prodigal,

﴿١٥٢﴾ ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

152. Who spread corruption in the earth, and reform not.

﴿١٥٣﴾ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

153. They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched;

﴿١٥٤﴾ مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

154. Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art of the truthful.

156. And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the retribution of an awful day.

﴿١٥٧﴾ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِينَ

157. But they hamstrung her, and then were penitent.

﴿١٥٨﴾ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

158. So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.

﴿١٥٩﴾ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

164. And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.

﴿١٦٥﴾ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

165. What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males,

﴿١٦٦﴾ وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ

166. And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk.

﴿١٦٧﴾ قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ

167. They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast.

﴿١٧٢﴾ ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

﴿٢٢٧﴾ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
