Thamud denied the messengers

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Will you be left in what is here, secure ˹from death˺,

Within gardens and springs

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

So fear Allah and obey me.

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a ˹time of˺ drink, and for you is a ˹time of˺ drink, ˹each˺ on a known day.

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَالِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَاهُنَا آمِنِينَ

فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَارِهِينَ

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ

مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِآيَةٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

قَالَ هَٰذِهِ نَاقَةٌ لَهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِينَ

فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

The people of Lot denied the messengers

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Do you approach males among the worlds

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest ˹it˺.

My Lord, save me and my family from ˹the consequence of˺ what they do."

So We saved him and his family, all,

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

Then We destroyed the others.

And We rained upon them a rain ˹of stones˺, and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ ۚ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ

قَالُوا لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ يَا لُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِينَ

قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُمْ مِنَ الْقَالِينَ

رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرًا ۖ فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

The companions of the thicket denied the messengers

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.

And weigh with an even balance.

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

And fear He who created you and the former creation."

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ

وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ

وَمَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُنَا وَإِنْ نَظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

قَالَ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

Upon your heart, ˹O Muhammad˺ - that you may be of the warners -

In a clear Arabic language.

And indeed, it is ˹mentioned˺ in the scriptures of former peoples.

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

And he had recited it to them ˹perfectly˺, they would ˹still˺ not have been believers in it.

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive ˹it˺ not.

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنْزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِينَ

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُبِينٍ

وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الْأَوَّلِينَ

أَوَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ آيَةً أَنْ يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ الْأَعْجَمِينَ

فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ

فَيَأْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنْظَرُونَ

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ

ثُمَّ جَاءَهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ

مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ
