وَاذْكُرْ اَخَا عَادٍؕ اِذْ اَنْذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْاَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِنْ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهٖٓ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُٓوا اِلَّا اللّٰهَؕ اِنّٖٓی اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ عَظٖیمٍ
And mention, [O Muhammad], the brother of 'Aad, when he warned his people in the [region of] al-Ahqaf - and warners had already passed on before him and after him - [saying], "Do not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day

They said, "Have you come to delude us away from our gods? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful

قَالَ اِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِؗ وَاُبَلِّغُكُمْ مَٓا اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖ وَلٰكِنّٖٓی اَرٰیكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ
He said, "Knowledge [of its time] is only with Allah, and I convey to you that with which I was sent; but I see you [to be] a people behaving ignorantly

فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ اَوْدِیَتِهِمْۙ قَالُوا هٰذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَاؕ بَلْ هُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُمْ بِهٖؕ رٖیحٌ فٖیهَا عَذَابٌ اَلٖیمٌۙ
And when they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said, "This is a cloud bringing us rain!" Rather, it is that for which you were impatient: a wind, within it a painful punishment

تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ بِاَمْرِ رَبِّهَا فَاَصْبَحُوا لَا یُرٰٓى اِلَّا مَسَاكِنُهُمْؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمٖینَ
Destroying everything by command of its Lord. And they became so that nothing was seen [of them] except their dwellings. Thus do We recompense the criminal people

وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فٖیمَٓا اِنْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فٖیهِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ سَمْعًا وَاَبْصَارًا وَاَفْــِٔدَةًؗ فَمَٓا اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَلَٓا اَبْصَارُهُمْ وَلَٓا اَفْــِٔدَتُهُمْ مِنْ شَیْءٍ اِذْ كَانُوا یَجْحَدُونَ بِاٰیَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِؤُ𐻿نَࣖ
And We had certainly established them in such as We have not established you, and We made for them hearing and vision and hearts. But their hearing and vision and hearts availed them not from anything [of the punishment] when they were [continually] rejecting the signs of Allah; and they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule
Saheeh Intl
وَلَقَدْ اَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْقُرٰى وَصَرَّفْنَا الْاٰیَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُونَ
And We have already destroyed what surrounds you of [those] cities, and We have diversified the signs [or verses] that perhaps they might return [from disbelief]

فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذٖینَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ قُرْبَانًا اٰلِهَةًؕ بَلْ ضَلُّوا عَنْهُمْۚ وَذٰلِكَ اِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا یَفْتَرُونَ
Then why did those they took besides Allah as deities by which to approach [Him] not aid them? But they had strayed from them. And that was their falsehood and what they were inventing
