Chapter 51, Page 522, Juz 27

47. We built the universe with ˹great˺ might, and We are certainly expanding ˹it˺. 48. As for the earth, We spread it out. How superbly did We smooth it out! 49. And We created pairs of all things so perhaps you would be mindful. 50. So ˹proclaim, O Prophet˺: “Flee to Allah! I am truly sent by Him with a clear warning to you. 51. And do not set up another god with Allah. I am truly sent by Him with a clear warning to you.” 52. Similarly, no messenger came to those before them without being told: “A magician or a madman!” 53. Have they passed this ˹cliché˺ down to one another? In fact, they have ˹all˺ been a transgressing people. 54. So ˹now˺ turn away from them ˹O Prophet˺, for you will not be blamed. 55. But ˹continue to˺ remind. For certainly reminders benefit the believers. 56. I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me. 57. I seek no provision from them, nor do I need them to feed Me. 58. Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ is the Supreme Provider—Lord of all Power, Ever Mighty. 59. The wrongdoers will certainly have a share ˹of the torment˺ like that of their predecessors. So do not let them ask Me to hasten ˹it˺. 60. Woe then to the disbelievers when they face their Day which they are warned of!
