29:40 Each of them We seized for their sin: against some of them We sent a storm of stones[1]; some were seized by a blast[2]; some We caused the earth to swallow[3]; and some We drowned[4]. It was not Allah Who wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.

29:41 The likeness of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of a spider spinning a house. Indeed, the flimsiest of houses is the house of a spider[1], if only they knew.

29:42 Allah knows whatever they call upon besides Him. He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

29:43 Such are the comparisons We set forth for people, but none will understand them except the people of knowledge.

29:44 Allah created the heavens and earth for a true purpose. Indeed, there is a sign in this for the believers.

29:45 Recite [O Prophet] what is revealed to you of the Book, and establish prayer, for indeed prayer restrains one from immoral acts and wickedness[1]. Indeed, the remembrance of Allah is of greater merit. And Allah knows all what you do.
