فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِٱلطَّاغِیَةِ ﴿٥﴾
So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].
وَأَمَّا عَادࣱ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِرِیحࣲ صَرۡصَرٍ عَاتِیَةࣲ ﴿٦﴾
And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind
سَخَّرَهَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ سَبۡعَ لَیَالࣲ وَثَمَـٰنِیَةَ أَیَّامٍ حُسُومࣰاۖ فَتَرَى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ فِیهَا صَرۡعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ خَاوِیَةࣲ ﴿٧﴾
Which Allah imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.
وَجَاۤءَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَن قَبۡلَهُۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَـٰتُ بِٱلۡخَاطِئَةِ ﴿٩﴾
And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.
فَعَصَوۡاْ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ أَخۡذَةࣰ رَّابِیَةً ﴿١٠﴾
And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].
إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلۡمَاۤءُ حَمَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ فِی ٱلۡجَارِیَةِ ﴿١١﴾
Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship
لِنَجۡعَلَهَا لَكُمۡ تَذۡكِرَةࣰ وَتَعِیَهَاۤ أُذُنࣱ وَ ٰعِیَةࣱ ﴿١٢﴾
That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.
وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ ﴿١٤﴾
And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -
وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فَهِیَ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ وَاهِیَةࣱ ﴿١٦﴾
And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.
وَٱلۡمَلَكُ عَلَىٰۤ أَرۡجَاۤىِٕهَاۚ وَیَحۡمِلُ عَرۡشَ رَبِّكَ فَوۡقَهُمۡ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ ثَمَـٰنِیَةࣱ ﴿١٧﴾
And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ تُعۡرَضُونَ لَا تَخۡفَىٰ مِنكُمۡ خَافِیَةࣱ ﴿١٨﴾
That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِیَمِینِهِۦ فَیَقُولُ هَاۤؤُمُ ٱقۡرَءُواْ كِتَـٰبِیَهۡ ﴿١٩﴾
So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!
إِنِّی ظَنَنتُ أَنِّی مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِیَهۡ ﴿٢٠﴾
Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."
كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِیۤـَٔۢا بِمَاۤ أَسۡلَفۡتُمۡ فِی ٱلۡأَیَّامِ ٱلۡخَالِیَةِ ﴿٢٤﴾
[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَیَقُولُ یَـٰلَیۡتَنِی لَمۡ أُوتَ كِتَـٰبِیَهۡ ﴿٢٥﴾
But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record
ثُمَّ فِی سِلۡسِلَةࣲ ذَرۡعُهَا سَبۡعُونَ ذِرَاعࣰا فَٱسۡلُكُوهُ ﴿٣٢﴾
Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ﴿٣٣﴾
Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,
فَلَیۡسَ لَهُ ٱلۡیَوۡمَ هَـٰهُنَا حَمِیمࣱ ﴿٣٥﴾
So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرࣲۚ قَلِیلࣰا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ ﴿٤١﴾
And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنࣲۚ قَلِیلࣰا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾
Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.
وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَیۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِیلِ ﴿٤٤﴾
And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَـٰجِزِینَ ﴿٤٧﴾
And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةࣱ لِّلۡمُتَّقِینَ ﴿٤٨﴾
And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ ﴿٥٠﴾
And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.
