Sura Al-Ankabut from 39 to 45


39. And ( We destroyed also ) Qârûn ( Korah ) , Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) , and Hâmân. And indeed Mûsâ ( Moses ) came to them with clear Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. ) , but they were arrogant in the land, yet they could not outstrip Us ( escape Our punishment ) .
40. So We punished each ( of them ) for his sins; of them were some on whom We sent Hâsib ( a violent wind with shower of stones ) [ as on the people of Lût ( Lot ) ] , and of them were some who were overtaken by As- Saihah [ torment - awful cry. ( as Thamûd or Shu‘aib’s people ) ] , and of them were some whom We caused the earth to swallow [ as Qârûn ( Korah ) ] , and of them were some whom We drowned [ as the people of Nûh ( Noah ) , or Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) and his people ] . It was not Allâh Who wronged them, but they wronged themselves.
41. The likeness of those who take ( false deities as ) Auliyâ’ ( protectors, helpers ) other than Allâh is the likeness of a spider who builds ( for itself ) a house; but verily, the frailest ( weakest ) of houses is the spider’s house - if they but knew.
42. Verily, Allâh knows what things they invoke instead of Him. He is the All- Mighty, the All- Wise. [ 1 ]
43. And these similitudes We put forward for mankind; but none will understand them except those who have knowledge ( of Allâh and His Signs ) .
44. ( Allâh says to His Prophet Muhammad ( saas ) ) : « Allâh ( Alone ) created the heavens and the earth with truth ( and none shared Him in their creation ) . » Verily! Therein is surely a sign for those who believe.
45. Recite ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) what has been revealed to you of the Book ( the Qur’ân ) , and perform As- Salât ( Iqamât- as- Salât ) . Verily, As- Salât ( the prayer ) prevents from Al- Fahshâ’ ( i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse ) and Al- Munkar ( i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed ) [ 2 ] and the remembering [ 3 ] ( praising ) of ( you by ) Allâh ( in front of the angels ) is greater indeed [ than your remembering ( praising ) of Allâh in prayers. And Allâh knows what you do.

[2] (V.29:45) It is said by Ibn ‘Abbâs and ‘Abdullâh bin Mas‘ûd (raa): If the Salât (prayer) of anyone does not prevent him from Al-Fâhshâ’ and Al-Munkar (all kinds of evil, illegal and sinful deeds), then his Salât (prayer) increases him in nothing but loss, and to be far away from his Lord (Allah) [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi].
