Verses 51–60

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ﴿٥١﴾

51:51Do not set up another god besides Allah. Indeed I am from Him a manifest warner to you.’

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ﴿٥٢﴾

51:52So it was that there did not come any apostle to those who were before them but they said, ‘A magician,’ or ‘A crazy man!’

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ﴿٥٣﴾

51:53Did they enjoin this upon one another?! Rather, they were a rebellious lot.¹

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍۢ﴿٥٤﴾

51:54So turn away from them, as you will not be blameworthy.

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿٥٥﴾

51:55And admonish, for admonition indeed benefits the faithful.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ﴿٥٦﴾

51:56I did not create the jinn and the humans except that they may worship Me.

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍۢ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ﴿٥٧﴾

51:57I desire no provision from them, nor do I desire that they should feed Me.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ﴿٥٨﴾

51:58Indeed it is Allah who is the All-provider, Powerful and All-strong.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًۭا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ﴿٥٩﴾

51:59Indeed the lot of those who do wrong [now] will be like the lot of their [earlier] counterparts. So let them not ask Me to hasten on [that fate].²

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ﴿٦٠﴾

51:60Woe to the faithless for the day they are promised!
