Rub El Hizb 191

Say, ‘How can you disregard the One who created the earth in two Days? How can you set up other gods as His equals? He is the Lord of all the worlds!’

Translation 1260

He placed solid mountains on it, blessed it, measured out its varied provisions for all who seek them––all in four Days

Translation 1260

Then He turned to the sky, which was smoke––He said to it and the earth, ‘Come into being, willingly or not,’ and they said, ‘We come willingly’––

Translation 1260

and in two Days He formed seven heavens, and assigned an order to each. We have made the nearest one beautifully illuminated and secure. Such is the design of the Almighty, the All Knowing

Translation 1260

If they turn away, say, ‘I have warned you about a blast like the one which struck 'Ad and Thamud

Translation 1260

when their messengers came to them, from all angles, saying, “Serve no one but God,” they said, “If our Lord had wished, He would have sent down angels. We do not believe in the message with which you have been sent.”

Translation 1260

The people of 'Ad behaved arrogantly throughout the land without any right, saying, “Who could be stronger than us?” Did they not realize that God, who created them, was stronger than them?’ They continued to reject Our message

Translation 1260

so We let a roaring wind loose on them for a few disastrous days to make them taste the punishment of shame in this world; more shameful still will be the punishment of the life to come, and they will not be helped

Translation 1260

As for Thamud, We gave them guidance but they preferred blindness, so they were struck by a blast of humiliating punishment for their misdeeds

Translation 1260

We saved those who believed and were mindful of God

Translation 1260

On the Day when God’s enemies are gathered up for the Fire and driven onward

Translation 1260

their ears, eyes, and skins will, when they reach it, testify against them for their misdeeds

Translation 1260

They will say to their skins, ‘Why did you testify against us?’ and their skins will reply, ‘God, who gave speech to everything, has given us speech- it was He who created you the first time and to Him you have been returned

Translation 1260

yet you did not try to hide yourselves from your ears, eyes, and skin to prevent them from testifying against you. You thought that God did not know about much of what you were doing

Translation 1260

so it was the thoughts you entertained about your Lord that led to your ruin, and you became losers.’

Translation 1260

The Fire will still be their home, even if they resign themselves to patience, and if they pray to be allowed to make amends, they will not be given permission to do so

Translation 1260
