Ayat No. 172

وَ اِذْ اَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْۢ بَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ ذُرِّیَّتَهُمْ وَ اَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلٰۤى اَنْفُسِهِمْ اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْؕ-قَالُوْا بَلٰىۚۛ-شَهِدْنَاۚۛ-اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ اِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هٰذَا غٰفِلِیْنَۙ(۱۷۲)

Translation

And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."

Ayat No. 173

اَوْ تَقُوْلُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَشْرَكَ اٰبَآؤُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ كُنَّا ذُرِّیَّةً مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْۚ-اَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ(۱۷۳)

Translation

Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"

Ayat No. 174

وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ وَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ(۱۷۴)

Translation

And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.

Ayat No. 175

وَ اتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَاَ الَّذِیْۤ اٰتَیْنٰهُ اٰیٰتِنَا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَاَتْبَعَهُ الشَّیْطٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغٰوِیْنَ(۱۷۵)

Translation

And recite to them, [O Muhammad], the news of him to whom we gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.

Ayat No. 176

وَ لَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنٰهُ بِهَا وَ لٰكِنَّهٗۤ اَخْلَدَ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ وَ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُۚ-فَمَثَلُهٗ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِۚ-اِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَیْهِ یَلْهَثْ اَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ یَلْهَثْؕ-ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۚ-فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ(۱۷۶)

Translation

And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.

Ayat No. 177

سَآءَ مَثَلَا-ﰳالْقَوْمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ كَانُوْا یَظْلِمُوْنَ(۱۷۷)

Translation

How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.

Ayat No. 178

مَنْ یَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِیْۚ-وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلْ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ(۱۷۸)

Translation

Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - it is those who are the losers.

Ayat No. 179

وَ لَقَدْ ذَرَاْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِ ﳲ لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ لَّا یَفْقَهُوْنَ بِهَا٘-وَ لَهُمْ اَعْیُنٌ لَّا یُبْصِرُوْنَ بِهَا٘-وَ لَهُمْ اٰذَانٌ لَّا یَسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْغٰفِلُوْنَ(۱۷۹)

Translation

And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.

Ayat No. 180

وَ لِلّٰهِ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰى فَادْعُوْهُ بِهَا۪-وَ ذَرُوا الَّذِیْنَ یُلْحِدُوْنَ فِیْۤ اَسْمَآىٕهٖؕ-سَیُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۱۸۰)

Translation

And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.

Ayat No. 181

وَ مِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَاۤ اُمَّةٌ یَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ بِهٖ یَعْدِلُوْنَ۠(۱۸۱)

Translation

And among those We created is a community which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice.
