Adh-Dhariyat 51:50

He turned quickly to his household, brought out a fat calf

Translation 1260

and placed it before them. ‘Will you not eat?’ he said

Translation 1260

beginning to be afraid of them, but they said, ‘Do not be afraid.’ They gave him good news of a son who would be gifted with knowledge

Translation 1260

His wife then entered with a loud cry, struck her face, and said, ‘A barren old woman?’

Translation 1260

but they said, ‘It will be so. This is what your Lord said, and He is the Wise, the All Knowing.’

Translation 1260

Abraham said, ‘What is your errand, messengers?’

Translation 1260

They said, ‘We are sent to a people lost in sin

Translation 1260

to bring down rocks of clay

Translation 1260

marked by your Lord for those who exceed all bounds.’

Translation 1260

We brought out such believers as were there

Translation 1260

We found only one household devoted to God

Translation 1260

and left the town to be a sign for those who fear the painful punishment

Translation 1260

There is another sign in Moses: We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority

Translation 1260

Pharaoh turned away with his supporters, saying, ‘This is a sorcerer, or maybe a madman,’

Translation 1260

so We seized him and his forces and threw them into the sea: he was to blame

Translation 1260

There is another sign in the Ad: We sent the life-destroying wind against them

Translation 1260

and it reduced everything it came up against to shreds

Translation 1260

And also in the Thamud: it was said to them, ‘Make the most of your lives for a while,’

Translation 1260

but they rebelled against their Lord’s command, so the blast took them. They looked on helplessly

Translation 1260

they could not even remain standing, let alone defend themselves

Translation 1260

Before that We destroyed the people of Noah. They were a truly sinful people

Translation 1260

We built the heavens with Our power and made them vast

Translation 1260

We spread out the earth- how well We smoothed it out

Translation 1260

and We created pairs of all things so that you [people] might take note

Translation 1260

[So, say to them, Prophet], ‘Quickly, turn to God- I am sent by Him to give you clear warning

Translation 1260
