31.
[Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have
come, O Messengers?"
32.
They said: "We have been sent to a people who are
Mujrimûn (polytheists,
sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allâh)
33.
To send down upon them stones of baked clay.
34.
Marked by your Lord for the
Musrifûn (polytheists, criminals,
sinners - those who trespass Allâh’s set limits in evil-doings by committing
great sins).
35.
So We brought out from therein the believers.
36.
But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one [of Lût
(Lot) and his two daughters].
37.
And We have left there a sign (i.e. the place of the Dead Sea
[1]
in Palestine) for those who fear the painful torment.
38.
And in Mûsâ (Moses) (too, there is a sign), when We sent him to
Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority.
39.
But [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along
with his hosts, and said: "A sorcerer, or a madman."
40.
So We took him and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea, for he
was blameworthy.
41.
And in ‘Âd (there is also a sign) when We sent against them the
barren wind;
42.
It spared nothing that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of
rotten ruins.
43.
And in Thamûd (there is also a sign), when they were told:
"Enjoy yourselves for a while!"
44.
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord, so the
Sâ‘iqah[2]
overtook them while they were looking.
45.
Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
46.
(So were) the people of Nûh (Noah) before them. Verily, they were a
people who were
Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
47.
With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend
the vastness of space thereof.
48.
And We have spread out the earth: how Excellent Spreader (thereof)
are We!
49.
And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the
Grace of Allâh).
50.
So flee to Allâh (from His Torment to His Mercy - Islâmic
Monotheism). Verily, I (Muhammad صلى
الله عليه
وسلم) am a plain warner to you from Him.
[3]
51.
And set not up (or worship not) any other
ilâh (god) along
with Allâh [Glorified be He (Alone), Exalted above all that they associate as
partners with Him]. Verily, I (Muhammad صلى
الله عليه
وسلم) am a plain warner to you from Him.
