˹We˺ also ˹destroyed˺ Korah, Pharaoh, and Hamân. Indeed, Moses had come to them with clear proofs, but they behaved arrogantly in the land. Yet they could not escape ˹Us˺.

So We seized each ˹people˺ for their sin: against some of them We sent a storm of stones, some were overtaken by a ˹mighty˺ blast, some We caused the earth to swallow, and some We drowned. Allah would not have wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.

ﱯ(The) exampleﱰ(of) those whoﱱtakeﱲbesidesﱳbesidesﱴAllahﱵprotectorsﱶ(is) likeﱷthe spiderﱸwho takesﱹﱺa houseﱻAnd indeedﱼthe weakestﱽ(of) housesﱾ(is) surely (the) houseﱿﲀ(of) the spiderﲁif (only)ﲂtheyﲃknowﲄ
The parable of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of a spider spinning a shelter. And the flimsiest of all shelters is certainly that of a spider, if only they knew.

Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, ˹genuine˺ prayer should deter ˹one˺ from indecency and wickedness. The remembrance of Allah is ˹an˺ even greater ˹deterrent˺. And Allah ˹fully˺ knows what you ˹all˺ do.
