50. And (remember) when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all save Ibis.
He was of the Jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will ye choose him and his seed for your protecting
friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy unto you? Calamitous is the exchange for evil doers!
51. I made them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; nor choose I
misleaders for (My) helpers.
52. And (be mindful of) the Day when He will say: Call those partners of Mine whom ye pretended. Then they will cry
unto them, but they will not hear their prayer, and We shall set a gulf of doom between them.
53. And the guilty behold the Fire and know that they are about to fall therein, and they find no way of escape thence:
54. And verily We have displayed for mankind in this Qur’an all manner of similitudes, but man is more than anything
contentious.
55. And naught hindereth mankind from believing when the guidance cometh unto them, and from asking for
forgiveness of their Lord, unless (it be that they wish) that the judgment of the men of old should come upon them or
(that) they should be confronted with the Doom.
56. We send not the messengers save as bearers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve contend with
falsehood in order to refute the Truth thereby. And they take Our revelations and that wherewith they are threatened
as a jest
57. And who doth greater wrong than he who hath been reminded of the revelations of his Lord, yet turneth away from
them and forgetteth what his hands send forward (to the Judgment)? Lo! on their hearts We have placed coverings so
that they understand not, and in their ears a deafness. And though thou call them to the guidance, in that case they can

58. Thy Lord is the Forgiver, Full of Mercy. If He took them to task (now) for what they earn, He would hasten on the
doom for them; but their is an appointed term from which they will find no escape
59. And (all) those townships! We destroyed them when they did wrong, and We appointed a fixed time for their
destruction.
60. And when Moses said unto his servant: I will not give up until I reach the point where the two rivers meet, though

61. And when they reached the point where the two met, they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the waters, being
free.
62. And when they had gone further, he said unto his servant: Bring us our breakfast. Verily we have found fatigue in

64. He said: This is that which we have been seeking they retraced their steps again.
65. Then found they one of Our slaves, unto whom We had given mercy from Us, and had taught him knowledge from
Our presence.
66. Moses said unto him: May I follow thee, to the end that thou mayst teach me right conduct of that which thou hast
been taught?
67. He said: Lo! thou canst not bear with me.
68. How canst thou bear with that whereof thou canst not compass any knowledge?
69. He said: Allah willing, thou, shalt find me patient and I shall not in aught gainsay thee:
70. He said: Well, if thou go with me, ask me not concerning aught till I myself mention of it unto thee.
71. So the twain set out till, when they were in the ship, be made a hole therein. (Moses) said: Hast thou made a hole
