And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind: (۴۱)

It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness. (۴۲)

And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!" (۴۳)

But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on. (۴۴)

Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves. (۴۵)

So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed. (۴۶)

With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace. (۴۷)

And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out! (۴۸)

And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction. (۴۹)

Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open! (۵۰)
