فَمَا استَطاعوا مِن قِيامٍ وَما كانوا مُنتَصِرينَ

They were unable to rise, nor could they defend themselves.

وَقَومَ نوحٍ مِن قَبلُ ۖ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومًا فاسِقينَ

And the people of Noah before them. They were a sinful people.

وَالسَّماءَ بَنَيناها بِأَيدٍ وَإِنّا لَموسِعونَ

We built the universe with power, and We are expanding it.

وَالأَرضَ فَرَشناها فَنِعمَ الماهِدونَ

And We spread the earth; how excellent are We as spreaders!

وَمِن كُلِّ شَيءٍ خَلَقنا زَوجَينِ لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرونَ

Of all things, we created pairs, so you may reflect.

وَلا تَجعَلوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلـٰهًا آخَرَ ۖ إِنّي لَكُم مِنهُ نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ

“And don’t set up any other deity with God. I am to you from Him a clear warner.”

كَذٰلِكَ ما أَتَى الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم مِن رَسولٍ إِلّا قالوا ساحِرٌ أَو مَجنونٌ

Likewise, no messenger came to those before them, but they said, “A magician, or a madman.”

أَتَواصَوا بِهِ ۚ بَل هُم قَومٌ طاغونَ

Did they pass it down among themselves? They are defiant people.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنهُم فَما أَنتَ بِمَلومٍ

So, distance yourself from them; you are not to blame.

وَذَكِّر فَإِنَّ الذِّكرىٰ تَنفَعُ المُؤمِنينَ

And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.
