Surah Ash Shu'ara

Saheeh International

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

Saheeh International

And we are not to be punished."

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

Thamud denied the messengers

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],

Saheeh International

Within gardens and springs

Saheeh International

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

Saheeh International

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

Saheeh International

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

Saheeh International

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

Saheeh International

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

Saheeh International

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

Saheeh International

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

Saheeh International

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

Saheeh International

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

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