|
|
7. * |

|
|
8. * |
These disbelievers will say, "This is a hard day".

which floated on the water before Our very eyes. The flood was a recompense for the deeds of the disbelievers.
|
|
15. * |
We made (the story of Noah) as evidence of the Truth. However, is there anyone who would take heed?
|
|
16. * |
How terrible was My torment and the result of (their disregard) of My warning.
|
|

27. * |

|
|
30. * |
How terrible was My punishment and warning.
|
|
31. * |

33. * |
The people of Lot rejected Our warning.
|
|
34. * |
We sent down upon them a violent sandstorm (which destroyed them all) except for the family of Lot, whom We saved in the early morning by Our favor.

35. * |
Thus do We recompense the grateful ones.
|
|

The Pharaoh and his people had also received Our warning,
|
|
42. * |
but they rejected all Our miracles. So We seized them in the way that a Majestic and All-powerful One would.
|
|
43. * |
Are you disbelievers mightier than those of the nations which We destroyed before or have you received amnesty through the ancient Scriptures?
|
|
44. * |
Do they say, "We shall be victorious because we are united?".
|
|

The sinful ones will face the destructive torment of hell
|
|
48. * |
when they will be dragged on their faces into the fire and will be told, "Feel the touch of hell".
|
|

We have created everything to fulfill a certain purpose.
|
|
50. * |
It takes only a single command from Us (to bring the Day of Judgment) and that can be achieved within the twinkling of an eye.
|
|
51. * |
We destroyed many people like you (disbelievers) but is there anyone who would take heed (of Our warning)?
|
|

Whatever they have done has been recorded in the Books (records of the deeds).
|
|
53. * |
Every small or great deed is written down.
|
|
54. * |
The pious ones will live in Paradise wherein streams flow,
|
|
55. * |
honorably seated in the presence of the All-dominant King.
