فَٱسۡتَخَفَّ قَوۡمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ

(43:54) He incited his people to levity and they obeyed him. Surely they
were an iniquitous people.0


فَلَمَّآ ءَاسَفُونَا ٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ فَأَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

(43:55) So when they incurred Our wrath, We exacted retribution from them,
and drowned them all,


فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ سَلَفٗا وَمَثَلٗا لِّلۡأٓخِرِينَ

(43:56) and made them a thing of the past and an example for those who would
come after them.1


۞وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوۡمُكَ مِنۡهُ يَصِدُّونَ

(43:57) No sooner the example of the son of Mary was mentioned than, lo and
behold, your people raised a clamour


وَقَالُوٓاْ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ هُوَۚ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلَۢاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٌ خَصِمُونَ

(43:58) and said: “Who is better, our deities or he?”2 They said
so only out of contentiousness. They are a disputatious people.


إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبۡدٌ أَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ مَثَلٗا لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ

(43:59) He was no more than a servant (of Ours), one upon whom We bestowed
Our favours and whom We made an example (of Our infinite power) for the Children
of Israel.3
