Then He completed them

(as) seven

heavens

in

two periods

and He revealed

in

each

heaven

its affair

And We adorned

the heaven

[the world]

with lamps

and (to) guard

That

(is the) Decree

(of) the All-Mighty

the All-Knower

But if

they turn away

then say

I have warned you

(of) a thunderbolt

like

(the) thunderbolt

(of) Aad

and Thamud

When

came to them

the Messengers

from before them

from before them

from before them

and from

behind them

(saying) "Do not

worship

except

Allah

They said

If

(had) willed

our Lord

surely, He (would have) sent down

Angels

So indeed, we

in what

you have been sent

with

(are) disbelievers

Then as for

Aad

they were arrogant

in

the land

without

[the] right

and they said

Who

(is) mightier

than us

(in) strength

Do not

they see

that

Allah

the One Who

created them

He

(is) Mightier

than them

(in) strength

But they used to

in Our Signs

deny

So We sent

upon them

a wind

furious

in

(the) days

(of) misfortune

that We may make them taste

(the) punishment

(of) disgrace

in

the life

(of) the world

And surely, (the) punishment

(of) the Hereafter

(is) more disgracing

and they

will not be helped

will not be helped

And as for

Thamud

We guided them

but they preferred

[the] blindness

over

the guidance

so seized them

a thunderbolt

(of) the punishment

humiliating

for what

they used to

earn

And We saved

those who

believed

and used to

fear (Allah)

And (the) Day

will be gathered

(the) enemies

(of) Allah

to

the Fire

then they

will be assembled in rows

Until

when

when

they come to it

(will) testify

against them

their hearing

and their sight

and their skins

(as) to what

they used to

do
