11:61
۞وَإِلَىٰ
And to
ثَمُودَ
Thamud
أَخَاهُمۡ
(We sent) their brother
صَـٰلِحًا‌ۚ
Salih
قَالَ
He said
يَـٰقَوۡمِ
O my people
ٱعۡبُدُواۡ
Worship
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مَا
not
لَكُم
you have
مِّنۡ
any
إِلَـٰهٍ
god
غَيۡرُهُۥ‌ۖ
other than Him
هُوَ
He
أَنشَأَكُم
produced you
مِّنَ
from
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
وَٱسۡتَعۡمَرَكُمۡ
and settled you
فِيهَا
in it
فَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُوهُ
So ask forgiveness of Him
ثُمَّ
then
تُوبُوٓاۡ
turn in repentance
إِلَيۡهِ‌ۚ
to Him
إِنَّ
Indeed
رَبِّى
my Lord
قَرِيبٌ
(is) near
مُّجِيبٌ
All-Responsive
٦١
And to Thamūd [We sent] their brother Ṣāliḥ. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive."
11:62
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰصَـٰلِحُ
O Salih
قَدۡ
Verily
كُنتَ
you were
فِينَا
among us
مَرۡجُوًّا
the one in whom hope was placed
قَبۡلَ
before
هَـٰذَآ‌ۖ
this
أَتَنۡهَـٰنَآ
Do you forbid us
أَن
that
نَّعۡبُدَ
we worship
مَا
what
يَعۡبُدُ
our forefathers worshipped
ءَابَآؤُنَا
our forefathers worshipped
وَإِنَّنَا
And indeed we
لَفِى
surely (are) in
شَكٍّ
doubt
مِّمَّا
about what
تَدۡعُونَآ
you call us
إِلَيۡهِ
to it
مُرِيبٍ
suspicious
٦٢
They said, "O Ṣāliḥ, you were among us a man of promise before this. Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? And indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt."
11:63
قَالَ
He said
يَـٰقَوۡمِ
O my people
أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ
Do you see
إِن
if
كُنتُ
I am
عَلَىٰ
on
بَيِّنَةٍ
a clear proof
مِّن
from
رَّبِّى
my Lord
وَءَاتَـٰنِى
and He has given me
مِنۡهُ
from Him
رَحۡمَةً
a Mercy
فَمَن
then who
يَنصُرُنِى
(can) help me
مِنَ
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
إِنۡ
if
عَصَيۡتُهُۥ‌ۖ
I (were to) disobey Him
فَمَا
So not
تَزِيدُونَنِى
you would increase me
غَيۡرَ
but
تَخۡسِيرٍ
(in) loss
٦٣
He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me mercy from Himself, who would protect me from Allāh if I disobeyed Him? So you would not increase me except in loss.
11:64
وَيَـٰقَوۡمِ
And O my people
هَـٰذِهِۦ
This
نَاقَةُ
she-camel
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
لَكُمۡ
(is) for you
ءَايَةً
a Sign
فَذَرُوهَا
so leave her
تَأۡكُلۡ
to eat
فِىٓ
in
أَرۡضِ
the earth
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَمَسُّوهَا
touch her
بِسُوٓءٍ
with harm
فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ
lest will seize you
عَذَابٌ
a punishment
قَرِيبٌ
impending
٦٤
And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allāh - [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allāh's earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment."
11:65
فَعَقَرُوهَا
But they hamstrung her
فَقَالَ
So he said
تَمَتَّعُواۡ
Enjoy (yourselves)
فِى
in
دَارِكُمۡ
your home(s)
ثَلَـٰثَةَ
(for) three
أَيَّامٍ‌ۖ
days
ذٰلِكَ
That
وَعۡدٌ
(is) a promise
غَيۡرُ
not
مَكۡذُوبٍ
(to) be belied
٦٥
But they hamstrung her, so he said, "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. That is a promise not to be denied [i.e., unfailing]."
11:66
فَلَمَّا
So when
جَآءَ
came
أَمۡرُنَا
Our command
نَجَّيۡنَا
We saved
صَـٰلِحًا
Salih
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
مَعَهُۥ
with him
بِرَحۡمَةٍ
by a Mercy
مِّنَّا
from Us
وَمِنۡ
and from
خِزۡىِ
(the) disgrace
يَوۡمِئِذٍ‌ۗ
(of) that Day
إِنَّ
Indeed
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
هُوَ
He
ٱلۡقَوِىُّ
(is) All-Strong
ٱلۡعَزِيزُ
All-Mighty
٦٦
So when Our command came, We saved Ṣāliḥ and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day.1 Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.
11:67
وَأَخَذَ
And seized
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged
ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ
the thunderous blast
فَأَصۡبَحُواۡ
then they became
فِى
in
دِيَـٰرِهِمۡ
their homes
جَـٰثِمِينَ
fallen prone
٦٧
And the shriek1 seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone
11:68
كَأَن
As if
لَّمۡ
not
يَغۡنَوۡاۡ
they (had) prospered
فِيهَآ‌ۗ
therein
أَلَآ
No doubt
إِنَّ
indeed
ثَمُودَاۡ
Thamud
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
رَبَّهُمۡ‌ۗ
(in) their Lord
أَلَا
so
بُعۡدًا
away
لِّثَمُودَ
with Thamud
٦٨
As if they had never prospered therein. Unquestionably, Thamūd denied their Lord; then, away with Thamūd.
