Translation of Verse 123-140

123. The people of 'Âd rejected the messengers

124. when their brother Hûd said to them, "Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

125. I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.

126. So fear Allah, and obey me.

127. I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

128. ˹Why˺ do you build a landmark on every high place in vanity,

129. and construct castles, as if you are going to live forever,

130. and act so viciously when you attack ˹others˺?

131. So fear Allah, and obey me.

132. Fear the One Who has provided you with ˹the good˺ things you know:

133. He provided you with cattle, and children,

134. and gardens, and springs.

135. I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous day."

136. They responded, "It is all the same to us whether you warn ˹us˺ or not.

137. This is simply the tradition of our predecessors.

138. And we will never be punished."

139. So they rejected him, and ˹so˺ We destroyed them. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

140. And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
