وَفِيْ عَادٍ اِذْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيْحَ الْعَقِيْمَۚ ( الذاريات: ٤١ )
And in Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.
مَا تَذَرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ اَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ اِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيْمِۗ ( الذاريات: ٤٢ )
It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.
وَفِيْ ثَمُوْدَ اِذْ قِيْلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوْا حَتّٰى حِيْنٍ ( الذاريات: ٤٣ )
And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."
فَعَتَوْا عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ ( الذاريات: ٤٤ )
But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.
فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوْا مِنْ قِيَامٍ وَّمَا كَانُوْا مُنْتَصِرِيْنَۙ ( الذاريات: ٤٥ )
And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.
وَقَوْمَ نُوْحٍ مِّنْ قَبْلُ ۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ ࣖ ( الذاريات: ٤٦ )
And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.
وَالسَّمَاۤءَ بَنَيْنٰهَا بِاَيْىدٍ وَّاِنَّا لَمُوْسِعُوْنَ ( الذاريات: ٤٧ )
And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.
وَالْاَرْضَ فَرَشْنٰهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُوْنَ ( الذاريات: ٤٨ )
And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.
وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ( الذاريات: ٤٩ )
And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.
فَفِرُّوْٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ ۗاِنِّيْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌۚ ( الذاريات: ٥٠ )
So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.
