How can there be for them remembrance [of Allah] when there had come to them a clear messenger? (13)

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَ قَالُوْا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُوْنٌ (14)

Then they turned away from him and said, "[He is] taught [by others], a madman." (14)

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger, (17)

اَنْ اَدُّوْۤا اِلَیَّ عِبَادَ ٱللّٰهِ اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِیْنٌ (18)

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger, (18)

وَّ اَنْ لَّا تَعْلُوْا عَلَى ٱللّٰهِ اِنِّیْۤ اٰتِیْكُمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ (19)

And do not exalt yourselves above Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority. (19)

So he called upon his Lord, "Indeed, these are a criminal people." (22)

[Allah said], "Set out with My servants by night; indeed, you will be pursued. (23)

وَ ٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا اِنَّهُمْ جُنْدٌ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ (24)

And leave the sea in place; indeed, they are an army to be drowned." (24)

كَمْ تَرَكُوْا مِنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّ عُیُوْنٍ (25)

How many gardens and springs they left behind, (25)

وَّ زُرُوْعٍ وَّ مَقَامٍ كَرِیْمٍ (26)

And crops and noble dwellings, (26)

وَّ نَعْمَةٍ كَانُوْا فِیْهَا فٰكِهِیْنَ (27)

And comfort wherein they were amused. (27)

كَذٰلِكَ وَ اَوْرَثْنٰهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِیْنَ (28)

Thus [it was], and We caused another people to inherit it. (28)

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَ ٱلْاَرْضُ وَ مَا كَانُوْا مُنْظَرِیْنَ (29)

And the heaven and earth did not weep for them, nor were they reprieved. (29)

And We did save the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment - (30)

مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَالِیًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِیْنَ (31)

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was arrogant among the transgressors. (31)

وَ لَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنٰهُمْ عَلٰىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعٰلَمِیْنَ (32)

And We certainly chose them, having knowledge, over [all] the worlds. (32)

وَ اٰتَیْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ ٱلْاٰیٰتِ مَا فِیْهِ بَلٰٓؤٌا مُّبِیْنٌ (33)

And We gave them of signs that in which was a clear trial. (33)

اِنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ لَیَقُوْلُوْنَ (34)

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying, (34)

اِنْ هِیَ اِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْاُوْلٰى وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِمُنْشَرِیْنَ (35)

"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected. (35)

فَاْتُوْا بِاٰبَآىٕنَآ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ (36)

Then bring back our forefathers, if you should be truthful." (36)

اَهُمْ خَیْرٌ اَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَّ ٱلَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ (37)

Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them; indeed, they were criminals. (37)

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know. (39)

اِنَّ یَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِیْقٰتُهُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ (40)

Indeed, the Day of Judgment is the appointed time for them all - (40)

یَوْمَ لَا یُغْنِیْ مَوْلًى عَنْ مَّوْلًى شَیْــٴًـا وَّ لَا هُمْ یُنْصَرُوْنَ (41)

The Day when no friend will avail another friend at all, nor will they be helped - (41)
