Narrate to them the example of the people of a certain town to whom the Messengers came.[13]
At first We sent to them two Messengers, but when they rejected both, We strengthened them with a third and they all said: "Surely we have been sent to you as Messengers."[14]
But the people replied: "You are but humans like us. The Compassionate (Allah) has revealed nothing; you are surely lying."[15]
They said: "Our Lord knows that we have indeed been sent as Messengers towards you[16] and our only duty is to convey His message plainly."[17]
The people replied:
"We regard you as an evil omen for us. Desist, or we will either stone you or you will receive from us a painful punishment."[18]
They said: "Your evil omens lie within yourselves. Do you say this because you are being admonished? Indeed you are a nation of transgressors."[19]
In the meantime a man came running from the remote part of the City and said: "O my people! Follow these Messengers.[20] Follow the ones who ask no reward of you and are rightly guided."[21]
It would not be justifiable on my part if I do not worship Him Who has created me and to Whom you shall be brought back.[22] Should I take other gods besides Him? If the Compassionate (Allah) should intend to harm me, their intercession will avail me nothing, nor will they be able to save me.[23] If I do so, I would indeed be in manifest error.[24] Surely I believe in your Lord, so listen to me."[25]
Consequently they killed that man and it was said to him: "Enter paradise."
He exclaimed: "Would that my people knew that what I know![26]
How my Lord has granted me forgiveness and included me among the honored ones."[27]
After that We did not send any army against his people from heaven, nor was it necessary to do so.[28] It was nothing but a single blast and they all became extinct.[29]
Alas for My bondsmen! Whenever there came to them a Messenger they mocked at him.[30]
Do they not see how many generations We have destroyed before them who will never return to
them?[31] While each one of them will be brought before Us on the Day of Judgment.[32]
The dead land may serve as a sign for them; We give it life and produce from it grain for them, which they eat.[33] We also produce from it gardens with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth from it,[34] so that they may enjoy the fruits thereof. It was not their hands that made all this; should they not then givethanks?[35]
Glory be to Allah Who created all things in pairs: the plants of the earth, mankind themselves and other living things which they do not know.[36] Another sign for them is the night; when We withdraw the daylight from it, and behold they are in darkness.[37] The sun runs its course, this course is predetermined for it by the Almighty, the All-Knowing.[38] As for the moon, We have designed phases for it till it again becomes like an old dry palm branch.[39] Neither it is possible for thesun to overtake the moon, nor for the night to outstrip the day: each floats along in its
own orbit.[40]
Another sign for them is how We carried their race through the flood in the laden ark;[41] and similar vessels We have made for them on which they ride.[42] If We want, We can drown them, and they will have no helper to save them, nor can they be rescued,[43] except through Our mercy and unless We prolong their lives for a while.[44]
