| 31. Abraham said, `Now what is your errand, O ye who have been sent ?' 32. They said, `We have been sent to a sinful people, 33. That we may send down upon them stones of clay, 34. Marked, with thy Lord, for those guilty of excesses.' 35. And we brought forth therefrom such of the believers as were there. 36. And WE found there only one house of those who were obedient to US. 37. And WE left therein a Sign for those who fear painful punishment. 38. And in the story of Moses also there was a Sign when WE sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority. 39. But he turned away from Moses in pride of his might, and said, `A sorcerer, or a madman.' 40. So WE seized him and his hosts and threw them into the sea; and he was to blame. 41. And there was a Sign in the story of the tribe of AD, when WE sent against them the destructive wind; 42. It spared nothing whatever that it came upon but made it like a rotten bone. 43. And a Sign there was in the story of the tribe of Thamud when it was said to them, `Enjoy yourselves for a while.' 44. But they rebelled against the command of their Lord. So the thunderbolt overtook them while they gazed; 45. And they were not able to rise up, nor were they able to defend themselves. 46. And WE destroyed the people of Noah before them; they were a disobedient people. 47. And WE have built the heavens with Our own hands, and, verily, WE have vast powers. 48. And the earth WE have spread out, and how excellently do WE spread it out ! 49. And of everything have WE created pairs that you may reflect. 50. Flee ye, therefore, unto ALLAH. Surely, I am a plain Warner unto you from Him. 51. And do not set up another god along with ALLAH. Surely, I am a plain Warner unto you from HIM. |
