Ash-Shu'araa
اِنۡ هٰذَا٘ اِلَّا خُلُقُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَۙ
This is not but the custom of the former peoples
وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِيۡنَۚ
And we are not to be punished
فَكَذَّبُوۡهُ فَاَهۡلَكۡنٰهُمۡؕ اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةًؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ
And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الرَّحِيۡمُࣖ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَۚۖ
Thamud denied the messengers
اِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ اَخُوۡهُمۡ صٰلِحٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوۡنَۚ
When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah
اِنِّيۡ لَكُمۡ رَسُوۡلٌ اَمِيۡنٌۙ
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger
فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡعُوۡنِۚ
So fear Allah and obey me
وَمَا٘ اَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ اَجۡرٍۚ اِنۡ اَجۡرِيَ اِلَّا عَلٰي رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَؕ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds
اَتُتۡرَكُوۡنَ فِيۡ مَا هٰهُنَا٘ اٰمِنِيۡنَۙ
Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death]
فِيۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوۡنٍۙ
Within gardens and springs
وَّزُرُوۡعٍ وَّنَخۡلٍ طَلۡعُهَا هَضِيۡمٌۚ
And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit
وَتَنۡحِتُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡجِبَالِ بُيُوۡتًا فٰرِهِيۡنَۚ
And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill
فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡعُوۡنِۚ
So fear Allah and obey me
وَلَا تُطِيۡعُوۡ٘ا اَمۡرَ الۡمُسۡرِفِيۡنَۙ
And do not obey the order of the transgressors
الَّذِيۡنَ يُفۡسِدُوۡنَ فِي الۡاَرۡضِ وَلَا يُصۡلِحُوۡنَ
Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend
قَالُوۡ٘ا اِنَّمَا٘ اَنۡتَ مِنَ الۡمُسَحَّرِيۡنَۚ
They said, "You are only of those affected by magic
مَا٘ اَنۡتَ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثۡلُنَاۚۖ فَاۡتِ بِاٰيَةٍ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ
You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful
قَالَ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرۡبٌ وَّلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ يَوۡمٍ مَّعۡلُوۡمٍۚ
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
وَلَا تَمَسُّوۡهَا بِسُوۡٓءٍ فَيَاۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيۡمٍ
And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day
فَعَقَرُوۡهَا فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا نٰدِمِيۡنَۙ
But they hamstrung her and so became regretful
فَاَخَذَهُمُ الۡعَذَابُؕ اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةًؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ
And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الرَّحِيۡمُࣖ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
