فَكَذَّبوهُ فَأَهلَكناهُم ۗ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

They disbelieved him, and so We destroyed them. There is a lesson in this, but most of them aren’t believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ

Your Lord is the Exalted in Might, the Most Merciful.

كَذَّبَت ثَمودُ المُرسَلينَ

Thamud denied the messengers.

إِذ قالَ لَهُم أَخوهُم صالِحٌ أَلا تَتَّقونَ

When their brother Saleh said to them, “Will you not behave righteously?

إِنّي لَكُم رَسولٌ أَمينٌ

I am a reliable messenger to you.

وَما أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

I ask for no reward from you; my recompense is only from the Lord of the worlds.

أَتُترَكونَ في ما هاهُنا آمِنينَ

Won’t you be secure in this?

في جَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ

In gardens and springs?

وَزُروعٍ وَنَخلٍ طَلعُها هَضيمٌ

In fields and palm trees with tender and delicate shoots?

وَتَنحِتونَ مِنَ الجِبالِ بُيوتًا فارِهينَ

In skillfully carved homes within the mountains?
