إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِلمُؤمِنينَ
In that is a sign for the believers.
وَإِن كانَ أَصحابُ الأَيكَةِ لَظالِمينَ
The inhabitants of the wooded valley were also wrongdoers.
فَانتَقَمنا مِنهُم وَإِنَّهُما لَبِإِمامٍ مُبينٍ
So, We exacted retribution from them. Both were visible from the main road.
وَلَقَد كَذَّبَ أَصحابُ الحِجرِ المُرسَلينَ
Similarly, the inhabitants of the Rocky Tract rejected the messengers.
وَآتَيناهُم آياتِنا فَكانوا عَنها مُعرِضينَ
We presented them with Our signs, but they turned away from them.
وَكانوا يَنحِتونَ مِنَ الجِبالِ بُيوتًا آمِنينَ
They used to carve secure homes into the mountains.
فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الصَّيحَةُ مُصبِحينَ
Yet, the sudden blast seized them at dawn.
فَما أَغنىٰ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَكسِبونَ
All that they had acquired availed them not.
وَما خَلَقنَا السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما إِلّا بِالحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ السّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ ۖ فَاصفَحِ الصَّفحَ الجَميلَ
We created the heavens and the earth, and what lies between them, with truth. The Hour is certainly coming, so overlook with beautiful forgiveness.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الخَلّاقُ العَليمُ
Surely your Lord, He is the Creator, the All-Knowing.
وَلَقَد آتَيناكَ سَبعًا مِنَ المَثاني وَالقُرآنَ العَظيمَ
We’ve given you seven pairs, and the Grand Quran.
