92 He said: O my people, is my family more esteemed by you than Allāh? And you neglect Him as a thing cast behind your backs! Surely my Lord encompasses what you do.

93 And, O my people, act according to your ability, I too am acting. You will come to know soon who it is on whom will light the punishment that will disgrace him, and who it is that is a liar. And watch, surely I too am watching with you.

94 And when Our decree came to pass, We delivered Shu‘aib and those who believed with him by mercy from Us. And the cry overtook those who were iniquitous, so they were motionless bodies in their abodes,

95 As though they had never dwelt in them. So away with Midian, just as Thamūd perished!

96 And certainly We sent Moses with Our signs and a clear authority,

97 To Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they followed the bidding of Pharaoh; and Pharaoh’s bidding was not right-directing.

98 He will lead his people on the day of Resurrection, and bring them down to the Fire. And evil the place to which they are brought!

99 And they are overtaken by a curse in this (world), and on the day of Resurrection. Evil the gift which shall be given!

100 This is an account of the towns which We relate to thee. Of them are some that stand and (others) mown down.

101 And We wronged them not but they wronged themselves. And their gods whom they called upon besides Allāh availed them naught when the decree of thy Lord came to pass. And they added to them naught but ruin.

102 And such is the punishment of thy Lord, when He punishes the towns while they are iniquitous. Surely His punishment is painful, severe.

103 Surely there is a sign in this for him who fears the chastisement of the Hereafter. That is a day on which people will be gathered together, and that is a day to be witnessed.

104 And We delay it not but for an appointed term.
