And how many

We (have) shattered

of

a town

(that) was

unjust

and We produced

after them

another people

another people

Then when

they perceived

Our torment

behold

they

from it

were fleeing

Flee not

Flee not

but return

to

what

you were given luxury

in it

and to your homes

so that you may

be questioned

They said

O woe to us

Indeed, [we]

we were

wrongdoers

Then not

ceased

[this]

their cry

until

We made them

reaped

extinct

And not

We created

the heavens

and the earth

and what

(is) between them

(for) playing

If

We intended

that

We take

a pastime

surely We (could have) taken it

from

Us

if

We were

doers

Nay

We hurl

the truth

against

[the] falsehood

and it breaks its head

behold

it (is)

vanishing

And for you

(is) destruction

for what

you ascribe

And to Him (belongs)

whoever

(is) in

the heavens

and the earth

And (those) who

(are) near Him

not

they are arrogant

to

worship Him

and not

they tire

They glorify (Him)

[the] night

and [the] day

not

they slacken

Or

(have) they taken

gods

from

the earth

they

raise (the dead)

If

(there) were

in both of them

gods

besides

Allah

surely they (would) have been ruined

So glorified

(is) Allah

Lord

(of) the Throne

(above) what

they attribute

Not

He (can) be questioned

about what

He does

but they

will be questioned

Or

(have) they taken

besides Him

besides Him

gods

Say

Bring

your proof

This

(is) a Reminder

(for those) who

(are) with me

and a Reminder

(for those) who

(were) before me

But

most of them

(do) not

know

the truth

so they

(are) averse
