فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ ٢٥
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَىٰ ٢٦
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).
أَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا ٢٧
What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا ٢٨
On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.
