And when

We raised

the mountain

above them

as if it was

a canopy

and they thought

that it

(would) fall

upon them

(We said), "Take

what

We have given you

with strength

and remember

what

(is) in it

so that you may

fear Allah

And when

(was) taken

(by) your Lord

from

(the) Children

(of) Adam

from

their loins

their descendants

and made them testify

over

themselves

Am I not

your Lord

They said

Yes

we have testified

Lest

you say

(on the) Day

(of) the Resurrection

Indeed

we were

about

this

unaware

Or

you say

Only

partners (were) associated (with Allah)

(by) our forefathers

from

before (us)

and we are

descendants

from

after them

So will You destroy us

for what

did

the falsifiers

And thus

We explain

the Verses

so that they may

return

And recite

to them

(the) story

(of the) one whom

We gave [him]

Our Verses

but he detached

[from] them

so followed him

the Shaitaan

and he became

of

those gone astray

And if

We willed

surely, We (could) have raised him

with these

[and] but he

adhered

to

the earth

and followed

his (vain) desires

So his example

(is) like (the) example

(of) the dog

if

you attack

[on] him

he lolls out his tongue

or

if you leave him

he lolls out his tongue

That

(is the) example

(of) the people

who

denied

[in] Our Signs

So relate

the story

so that they may

reflect

Evil

(as) an example

(are) the people

those who

denied

Our Signs

and themselves

they used to

wrong

Whoever

(is) guided

(by) Allah

then he

(is) the guided one

while whoever

He lets go astray

then those

[they]

(are) the losers
