50 And that He destroyed the first ‘Ād: |
51 And Thamūd, so He spared not: |
52 And the people of Noah before. Surely they were most iniquitous and inordinate. |
53 And the overthrown cities, He hurled down: |
54 So there covered them that which covered. |
55 Which, then, of thy Lord’s benefits wilt thou dispute? |
56 This is a warner of the warners of old. |
57 The near Event draws nigh. |
58 There is none besides Allāh to remove it. |
59 Wonder you then at this announcement? |
60 And do you laugh and not weep, |
61 While you sport? |
62 So bow down in prostration before Allāh and serve (Him). [Prostration] |
1 The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent asunder. |
2 And if they see a sign, they turn away and say: Strong enchantment! |
3 And they deny and follow their low desires; and every affair is settled. |
4 And certainly narratives have come to them, which should deter — |
5 Consummate wisdom — but warnings avail not; |
6 So turn away from them. On the day when the Inviter invites them to a hard task — |
7 Their eyes cast down, they will go forth from their graves as if they were scattered locusts, |
8 Hastening to the Inviter. The disbelievers will say: This is a hard day! |
