And ˹remember˺ when We raised the mountain over them as if it were a cloud and they thought it would fall on them.1 ˹We said,˺ “Hold firmly to that ˹Scripture˺ which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them,1 [and Allah said], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear Allah."

And ˹remember˺ when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ˹Allah asked,˺ “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are! We testify.” ˹He cautioned,˺ “Now you have no right to say on Judgment Day, ‘We were not aware of this.’
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."

Nor say, ‘It was our forefathers who had associated others ˹with Allah in worship˺ and we, as their descendants, followed in their footsteps. Will you then destroy us for the falsehood they invented?’”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"

This is how We make our signs clear, so perhaps they will return ˹to the Right Path˺.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.1

And relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became a deviant.1
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And recite to them, [O Muḥammad], the news of him1 to whom We gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.2

If We had willed, We would have elevated him with Our signs, but he clung to this life—following his evil desires. His example is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it ˹still˺ pants. This is the example of the people who deny Our signs.1 So narrate ˹to them˺ stories ˹of the past˺, so perhaps they will reflect.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And if We had willed, We could have elevated him thereby,1 but he adhered [instead] to the earth2 and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs.3 So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.
— Saheeh International
What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ˹only˺ wronged their own souls.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.

Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ˹true˺ losers.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray1 - it is those who are the losers.
