There are abundant fruits in them for you, and you eat from them,
20

Worship Allah! You have no other god besides Him. Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’
24
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ faqālal-mala-ul ladhīna kafarū min qawmihi mā hādhā illā basharun mithlukum yurīdu an yatafaḍḍala `alaykum walaw shā-allāhu la-anzala malā-ikatan mā sami`nā bihādhā fī ābā-inal-awwalīn But the elite of the faithless from among his people said, ‘This is just a human being like you, who seeks to dominate you. Had Allah wished, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of such a thing among our forefathers.

When Our edict comes and the oven gushes [a stream of water], bring into it a pair of every kind [of animal], and your family, except those of them against whom the decree has gone beforehand, and do not plead with Me for those who are wrongdoers: they shall indeed be drowned.’
28
فَإِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ fa-idhas-tawayta anta wa man ma`aka `alal-fulki faqulil ḥamdu lillāhil ladhī najjānā minal qawmiẓ ẓālimīn ‘When you, and those who are with you, are settled in the ark, say, ‘‘All praise belongs to Allah, who has delivered us from the wrongdoing lot.’’
29

34
وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًا مِّثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ wala-in aṭa`tum basharan mithlakum innakum idhal lakhāsirūn If you obey a human being like yourselves, you will indeed be losers.

44
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ thumma arsalnā rusulanā tatrā ۖ kulla mā jā-a ummatan rasūluhā kadhhabūh ۚ fa-atba`nā ba`ḍahum ba`ḍan waja`alnāhum aḥādīth ۚ fabu`dal liqawmin lā yu-minūn Then We sent Our apostles successively. Whenever there came to a nation its apostle, they impugned him, so We made them follow one another [to extinction] and We turned them into folktales. So away with the faithless lot!
45

71
وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَـٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ walawit-taba`al ḥaqqu ahwā-ahum lafasadatis samāwātu wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn ۚ bal ataynāhum bidhikrihim fahum `an dhikrihim mu`riḍūn Had the truth followed their desires, the heavens and the earth would have surely fallen apart [along] with those who are in them. Indeed, We have brought them their Reminder, but they are disregardful of their Reminder.
72

73
وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ wa innaka latad`ūhum ilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīm Indeed you invite them to a straight path,
74

76
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ walaqad akhadhnāhum bil `adhābi famas-takānū lirabbihim wa mā yataḍarra`ūn We have already seized them with punishment, yet they did not humble themselves before their Lord, nor will they entreat [Him for mercy]

Do you not exercise your reason?
81

90
بَلْ أَتَيْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ bal ataynāhum bil ḥaqqi wa innahum lakādhibūn Indeed, We have brought them the truth, and they are indeed liars.
91

Clear is Allah of what they allege!

These are mere words that he says.’ And before them is a barrier until the day they will be resurrected.
101
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ fa-idhā nufikha fiṣ ṣūri falā ansāba baynahum yawma-idhin walā yatasā-alūn When the Trumpet is blown, there will be no ties between them on that day, nor will they ask [about] each other.
