بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Kazzabat 'Aadunil mursaleen
Ad gave the lie to the apostles.
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Iz qaala lahum akhoohum Hoodun alaa tattaqoon
When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ
Innee lakum Rasoolun ameen
Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Fattaqullaaha wa atee'oon
Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa maa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa 'alaa Rabbil 'aalameen
And I do not ask you any reward for it; surely my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds
أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةًۭ تَعْبَثُونَ
Atabnoona bikulli ree'in aayatan ta'basoon
Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is it that you do:
وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ
Wa tattakhizoona masaani'a la'allakum takhludoon
And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may
وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ
Wa izaa batashtum batashtum jabbaareen
And when you lay hands (on men) you lay hands (like) tyrants;
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Fattaqul laaha wa atee'oon
So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Wattaqul lazeee amad dakum bimaa ta'lamoon
And be careful of (your duty to) Him Who has given you abundance of what you know.
أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَٰمٍۢ وَبَنِينَ
Amaddakum bi an'aa minw wa baneen
He has given you abundance of cattle and children
وَجَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ
Wa jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
And gardens and fountains;
إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ
Innee akhaafu 'alaikum 'azaaba Yawmin 'azeem
Surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day
قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ
Qaaloo sawaaa'un 'alainaaa awa 'azta am lam takum minal waa'izeen
They said: It is the same to us whether you admonish or are not one of the admonishers
إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
In haazaaa illaa khuluqul awwaleen
This is naught but a custom of the ancients;
وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
Wa maa nahnu bimu 'azzabeen
And we are not going to be punished.
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Fakazzaboohu fa ahlaknaahum; inna fee zaalika la aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen
So they gave him the lie, then We destroyed them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Kazzabat Samoodul mursaleen
Samood gave the lie to the apostles
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Surely I am a faithful apostle to you
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa maaa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa 'alaa Rabbil 'aalameen
And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:
أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ
Atutrakoona fee maa haahunnaaa aamineen
Will you be left secure in what is here;
فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Fee jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
In gardens and fountains,
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَنَخْلٍۢ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌۭ
Wa zuroo inw wa nakhlin tal 'uhaa hadeem
And cornfields and palm-trees having fine spadices?
وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا فَٰرِهِينَ
Wa tanhitoona minal jibaali buyootan faariheen
And you hew houses out of the mountains exultingly;
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Fattaqul laaha wa atee'oon
Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me;
Meccan
