مَا تَذَرُ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ اَتَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ اِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَالرَّمِيۡمِؕ ٤٢
51:42It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.

فَعَتَوۡا عَنۡ اَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَاَخَذَتۡهُمُ الصّٰعِقَةُ وَ هُمۡ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَ ٤٤
51:44But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;

51:45And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
وَقَوۡمَ نُوۡحٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلُؕ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا قَوۡمًا فٰسِقِيۡنَ ٤٦

51:47We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).
وَالۡاَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ الۡمٰهِدُوۡنَ ٤٨

51:50Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.
