51:41 وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ...
51:41 وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ
●And in ʿAad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind. 1
51:42 مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ
— It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins. 51:43 وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
●And in Thamūd, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."
51:44 فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
— But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on. 51:45 فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ
— And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves. 51:46 وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ
— And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient. 51:47 وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
— And the heaven We constructed with strength, 1 and indeed, We are [its] expander. 51:48 وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ
— And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer. 51:49 وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
— And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember. 51:50 فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
— So flee to Allāh. 1 Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner. 51:51 وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
●And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner. 51:52 كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
●Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."
51:53 أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ
●Did they suggest it to them? 1 Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people. 51:54 فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ
— So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed. 51:55 وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
— And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers. 51:56 وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
●And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
