Surah Al-Ankaboot, Ayah 42 (29:42)
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍؕ وَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ ٤٢
English translation (Pickthall)
Lo! Allah knoweth what thing they invoke instead of Him. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

فَكَذَّبُوۡهُ فَاَخَذَتۡهُمُ الرَّجۡفَةُ فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا فِىۡ دَارِهِمۡ جٰثِمِيۡنَ ٣٧
29:37But they denied him, and the dreadful earthquake took them, and morning found them prostrate in their dwelling place.
وَعَادًا وَّثَمُوۡدَا۟ وَقَدْ تَّبَيَّنَ لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ مَّسٰكِنِهِمۡ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ فَصَدَّهُمۡ عَنِ السَّبِيۡلِ وَكَانُوۡا مُسۡتَـبۡصِرِيۡنَۙ ٣٨
29:38And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud! (Their fate) is manifest unto you from their (ruined and deserted) dwellings. Satan made their deeds seem fair unto them and so debarred them from the Way, though they were keen observers.
وَقَارُوۡنَ وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ مُّوۡسٰى بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ فَاسۡتَكۡبَرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا كَانُوۡا سٰبِقِيۡنَۖۚ ٣٩
29:39And Korah, Pharaoh and Haman! Moses came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they were boastful in the land. And they were not winners (in the race).
فَكُلًّا اَخَذۡنَا بِذَنۡۢبِهٖۚ فَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ حَاصِبًاۚ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ اَخَذَتۡهُ الصَّيۡحَةُ ۚ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ خَسَفۡنَا بِهِ الۡاَرۡضَۚ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ اَغۡرَقۡنَا ۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَـظۡلِمَهُمۡ وَلٰـكِنۡ كَانُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُوۡنَ ٤٠
29:40So We took each one in his sin; of them was he on whom We sent a hurricane, and of them was he who was overtaken by the (Awful) Cry, and of them was he whom We caused the earth to swallow, and of them was he whom We drowned. It was not for Allah to wrong them, but they wronged themselves.
مَثَلُ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّخَذُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ اَوۡلِيَآءَ كَمَثَلِ الۡعَنۡكَبُوۡتِۖۚ اِتَّخَذَتۡ بَيۡتًاؕ وَاِنَّ اَوۡهَنَ الۡبُيُوۡتِ لَبَيۡتُ الۡعَنۡكَبُوۡتِۘ لَوۡ كَانُوۡا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٤١
29:41The likeness of those who choose other patrons than Allah is as the likeness of the spider when she taketh unto herself a house, and lo! the frailest of all houses is the spider's house, if they but knew.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍؕ وَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ ٤٢
29:42Lo! Allah knoweth what thing they invoke instead of Him. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
وَتِلۡكَ الۡاَمۡثَالُ نَضۡرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِۚ وَمَا يَعۡقِلُهَاۤ اِلَّا الۡعٰلِمُوۡنَ ٤٣
29:43As for these similitudes, We coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise.
خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ بِالۡحَـقِّؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّـلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ٤٤
29:44Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for believers.
