[29:39]
And Korah, Pharaoh and Haman! Moses came unto
them with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), but they were boastful in the
land. And they were not winners (in the race).
[29:40]
So We took each one in his sin; of them was he
on whom We sent a hurricane, and of them was he who was overtaken by the
(Awful) Cry, and of them was he whom We caused the earth to swallow, and of
them was he whom We drowned. It was not for Allah to wrong them, but they
wronged themselves.
[29:41]
The likeness of those who choose other patrons
than Allah is as the likeness of the spider when she taketh unto herself a
house, and lo! the frailest of all houses is the
spider’s house, if they but knew.
[29:42]
Lo! Allah knoweth what thing they invoke instead
of Him. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
[29:43]
As for these similitudes, We
coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise.
[29:44]
Allah created the heavens and the earth with
truth. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for believers.
[29:45]
Recite that which hath been inspired in thee of
the Scripture, and establish worship. Lo! worship
preserveth from lewdness and iniquity, but verily remembrance of Allah is more
important. And Allah knoweth what ye do.
