    51:44

    faʿataw ʿan amri rabbihim fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣāʿiqatu wahum yanẓurūna

    51:46

    waqawma nūḥin min qablu innahum kānū qawman fāsiqīna

    51:47

    wal-samāa banaynāhā bi-aydin wa-innā lamūsiʿūna

    And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

    51:49

    wamin kulli shayin khalaqnā zawjayni laʿallakum tadhakkarūna

    And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.

50. فَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ٥٠

    51:50

    fafirrū ilā l-lahi innī lakum min'hu nadhīrun mubīnun

    So flee to Allāh. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

51. وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ٥١

    51:51

    walā tajʿalū maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara innī lakum min'hu nadhīrun mubīnun

    And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

52. كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ٥٢

    51:52

    kadhālika mā atā alladhīna min qablihim min rasūlin illā qālū sāḥirun aw majnūnun

    Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

53. أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ٥٣

    51:53

    atawāṣaw bihi bal hum qawmun ṭāghūna

    Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

54. فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٖ٥٤

    51:54

    fatawalla ʿanhum famā anta bimalūmin

    So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.

55. وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ٥٥

    51:55

    wadhakkir fa-inna l-dhik'rā tanfaʿu l-mu'minīna

    And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

56. وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ٥٦

    51:56

    wamā khalaqtu l-jina wal-insa illā liyaʿbudūni

    And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

57. مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ٥٧

    51:57

    mā urīdu min'hum min riz'qin wamā urīdu an yuṭ'ʿimūni

    I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

58. إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ٥٨

    51:58

    inna l-laha huwa l-razāqu dhū l-quwati l-matīnu

    Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

59. فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبٗا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ٥٩

    51:59

    fa-inna lilladhīna ẓalamū dhanūban mith'la dhanūbi aṣḥābihim falā yastaʿjilūni

    And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.

60. فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ٦٠

    51:60

    fawaylun lilladhīna kafarū min yawmihimu alladhī yūʿadūna

    And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
