Translation of Verse 21-26

21. And remember the brother of 'Ȃd, when he warned his people, who inhabited the sand-hills 1033 -there were certainly warners before and after him-˹saying,˺ "Worship none but Allah. I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous day."

22. They argued, "Have you come to turn us away from our gods? Bring us then whatever you threaten us with, if what you say is true."

23. He responded, "The knowledge ˹of its time˺ is only with Allah. I only convey to you what I have been sent with. But I can see that you are a people acting ignorantly."

24. Then when they saw the torment as a ˹dense˺ cloud approaching their valleys, they said ˹happily˺, "This is a cloud bringing us rain." ˹But Hûd replied,˺ "No, it is what you sought to hasten: a ˹fierce˺ wind carrying a painful punishment!"

25. It destroyed everything by the command of its Lord, leaving nothing visible except their ruins. This is how We reward the wicked people.

26. Indeed, We had established them 1034 in a way We have not established you ˹Meccans˺. And We gave them hearing, sight, and intellect. But neither their hearing, sight, nor intellect were of any benefit to them whatsoever, since they persisted in denying Allah's signs. And ˹so˺ they were overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.


Commentary

1033. The people of 'Ȃd were the residents of the hills in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula.

1034. The people of Hûd.
