39* (Remember also) Qrn, Pharaoh, and Hmn: there came to them Moses with Clear Signs, but they behaved with insolence on the earth; yet they could not overreach (Us).  
| |40* Each one of them We seized for his crime: of them, against some We sent a violent tornado (with showers of stones); some were caught by a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): It was not Allah Who wronged them: they wronged themselves.  
| |41* The parable of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of the spider, who builds (to itself) a house; but truly the flimsiest of houses is the spider's house;- if they but knew.  
| |42* Verily Allah doth know of (every thing) whatever that they call upon besides Him: and He is Exalted (in power), Wise.  
| |43* And such are the Parables We set forth for mankind, but only those understand them who have knowledge.  
| |44* Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth: verily in that is a Sign for those who believe.  
| |45* Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee, and establish regular prayer: for prayer restrains from shameful and evil deeds; and remembrance of Allah is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And Allah knows the (deeds) that ye do.  
| |46* And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except in the best way, unless it be with those of them who do wrong: but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you. Our God and your God is One; and it is to Him we submit (in Islm)."  
| |47* And thus (it is) that We have sent down the Book to thee. So the People of the Book believe therein, as also do some of these (pagan Arabs): and none but Unbelievers reject Our Signs.  
| |48* And thou wast not (able) to recite a Book before this (Book came), nor art thou (able) to transcribe it with thy right hand: In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have doubted.
