He said, ‘What knowledge do I have of what they used to do
Translation 1260
It is for my Lord alone to bring them to account- if only you could see
Translation 1260
I will not drive believers away
Translation 1260
I am here only to give people a clear warning.’
Translation 1260
So they said, ‘Noah, if you do not stop this, you will be stoned.’
Translation 1260
He said, ‘My Lord, my people have rejected me
Translation 1260
so make a firm judgement between me and them, and save me and my believing followers.’
Translation 1260
So We saved him and his followers in the fully laden ship
Translation 1260
and drowned the rest
Translation 1260
There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe
Translation 1260
your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful
Translation 1260

Translation 1260
I am a faithful messenger sent to you
Translation 1260
be mindful of God and obey me
Translation 1260
I ask no reward of you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds
Translation 1260
How can you be so vain that you set up monuments on every high place
Translation 1260
Do you build fortresses because you hope to be immortal
Translation 1260
Why do you act like tyrants whenever you attack someone
Translation 1260
Be mindful of God and obey me
Translation 1260
be mindful of Him who has provided you with everything you know
Translation 1260
He has given you livestock, sons
Translation 1260
gardens, springs
Translation 1260
for I truly fear that the torment of a grievous day will overtake you.’
Translation 1260
They replied, ‘It makes no difference to us whether you warn us or not
Translation 1260
for we only do what our forefathers used to do
Translation 1260
we shall not be punished.’
Translation 1260

I am a faithful messenger to you
Translation 1260
be mindful of God and obey me
Translation 1260
I ask no reward from you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds

Translation 1260
gardens, springs
Translation 1260
fields, palm trees laden with fruit
Translation 1260
carving your fine houses from the mountains
Translation 1260
Be mindful of God and obey me
Translation 1260
do not obey those who are given to excess
Translation 1260
and who spread corruption in the land instead of doing what is right.’
Translation 1260
They said, ‘You are bewitched
Translation 1260
You are nothing but a man like us. Show us a sign, if you are telling the truth.’
Translation 1260
He said, ‘Here is a camel. She should have her turn to drink and so should you, each on a specified day
Translation 1260
so do not harm her, or the punishment of a terrible day will befall you.’
Translation 1260
But they hamstrung her. In the morning they had cause to regret it
Translation 1260
the punishment fell upon them. There truly is a sign in this, though most of them will not believe
Translation 1260
your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful
Translation 1260
The people of Lot, too, called the messengers liars
Translation 1260
Their brother Lot said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God
Translation 1260
I am a faithful messenger to you
Translation 1260
be mindful of God and obey me
Translation 1260
I ask no reward from you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds

Translation 1260
and abandon the wives that God has created for you? You are exceeding all bounds,’
Translation 1260
but they replied, ‘Lot! If you do not stop this, you will be driven away.’
Translation 1260
So he said, ‘I loathe what you do
Translation 1260
Lord, save me and my family from what they are doing.’
Translation 1260
We saved him and all his family
Translation 1260
except for an old woman who stayed behind
Translation 1260
then We destroyed the others
Translation 1260
and poured a rain of destruction down upon them. How dreadful that rain was for those who had been forewarned
Translation 1260
There truly is a sign in this, though most of them will not believe
Translation 1260
your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful
Translation 1260
The forest-dwellers, too, called the messengers liars
