(Then) We said: 'Go to the nation who have belied Our signs. ' And We utterly destroyed them. (36)

The nation of Noah, We drowned them when they belied their Messenger, and made of them a sign to the nation. For the harmdoers We have prepared a painful punishment (37)

also to Aad and Thamood and the nation of ErRass and many generations in between; (38)

to each of them We gave examples, and each of them We utterly ruined. (39)

They have surely passed by the village which was rained upon by evil rain (of stones); what, have they never seen it? No, they look for no resurrection. (40)

He would have mislead us from our gods, if we had not been steadfast to them. ' But they shall know who is further astray from the Path when they see the punishment. (42)

Have you seen him who has made gods of his own desires? Would you be a guardian over him? (43)

Do you think that most of them can hear or understand? They are like cattle, no, they are further astray from the Path. (44)
