Of the villages We destroyed, there was not one that believed. What, will they not believe? (6)

We never sent (anyone) before you except men to whom We revealed to them. 'Ask the people of the Remembrance if you do not know. ' (7)

Nor did We make them bodies that ate no food, nor were they immortal. (8)

Then We were true to the promise, We saved them together with those whom We willed, and destroyed the transgressors. (9)

Now, We have sent down to you a Book in which is your Remembrance. Will you not understand? (10)

How many harmdoing villages have We shattered and replaced them with another nation. (11)

And when they felt Our Might they fled from it. (12)

'Do not run away. Return to your luxury that you rejoiced in, and your homes in order that you be questioned! ' (13)

They said: 'Alas for us we were harmdoers! ' (14)

And this they did not stop crying out until We made them stubble, silent, and still. (15)
