Surah Ash-Shu'ara

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ 121

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 122

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٌ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ 123

Aad denied the messengers

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 124

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ 125

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 126

So fear Allah and obey me

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ 127

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

أَتَبۡنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةٗ تَعۡبَثُونَ 128

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَخۡلُدُونَ 129

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally

وَإِذَا بَطَشۡتُم بَطَشۡتُمۡ جَبَّارِينَ 130

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 131

So fear Allah and obey me

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعۡلَمُونَ 132

And fear He who provided you with that which you know

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنۡعَٰمٖ وَبَنِينَ 133

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

وَجَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ 134

And gardens and springs

إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ 135

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day

قَالُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَٰعِظِينَ 136

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ 137

This is not but the custom of the former peoples

وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ 138

And we are not to be punished

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ 139

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 140

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
