and so he called upon his Lord, ‘I am defeated: help me!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

So We opened the gates of the sky with torrential water,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

burst the earth with gushing springs: the waters met for a preordained purpose.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We carried him along on a vessel of planks and nails

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that floated under Our watchful eye, a reward for the one who had been rejected.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have left this as a sign: will anyone take heed?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings!

The people of Thamud also rejected the warnings:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

they said, ‘What? A man? Why should we follow a lone man from amongst ourselves? That would be misguided; quite insane!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Would a mes-sage be given to him alone out of all of us? No, he is an insolent liar!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘Tomorrow they will know who is the insolent liar,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

for We shall send them a she-camel to test them: so watch them [Salih] and be patient.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Tell them the water is to be shared between them: each one should drink in turn.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But they called their companion, who took a sword and hamstrung the camel.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We released a single mighty blast against them and they ended up like a fencemaker’s dry sticks.

The people of Lot rejected the warnings.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

as a favour from Us: this is how We reward the thankful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He warned them of Our onslaught, but they dismissed the warning-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

they even demanded his guests from him- so We sealed their eyes- ‘ Taste My [terrible] punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings!’-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and early in the morning a punishment seized them that still remains-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘Taste My [terrible] punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: will anyone take heed?

The people of Pharaoh also received warnings.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They rejected all Our signs so We seized them with all Our might and power.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘Are your disbelievers any better than these? Were you given an exemption in the Scripture?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Do they perhaps say, ‘We are a great army and we shall be victorious’?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Their forces will be routed and they will turn tail and flee.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But the Hour is their appointed time- the Hour is more severe and bitter:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

truly the wicked are misguided and quite insane––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

on the Day when they are dragged on their faces in Hell. ‘Feel the touch of Hell.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have created all things in due measure;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

when We ordain something it happens at once, in the blink of an eye;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have destroyed the likes of you in the past. Will anyone take heed?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Everything they do is noted in their records:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

every action, great or small, is recorded.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The righteous will live securely among Gardens and rivers,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

secure in the presence of an all-powerful Sovereign.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
