فَإِذَا ٱسۡتَوَيۡتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ فَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 28

28        So when you and your followers have seated yourselves comfortably in the boat, then say: “All praise and thanks are due to Allah Who has saved us from the people who are the wrong-doers.”

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلۡنِي مُنزَلٗا مُّبَارَكٗا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمُنزِلِينَ 29

29        And (when the storm is calmed down) say: “O my Creator! Make me land at a blessed landing-place. Since You are the best of those who bring to land (as your guests).”

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبۡتَلِينَ 30

30        Indeed, in this story there are many signs. And We always put people into test.

ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ قَرۡنًا ءَاخَرِينَ 31

31        Then, after them We created another nation (A’d or Thamud).

فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 32

32        So We sent to them a messenger from among themselves (saying): “Worship Allah! You have no other God but Him. Will you not then fear (Allah)?” 

وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِن قَوۡمِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَأَتۡرَفۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يَأۡكُلُ مِمَّا تَأۡكُلُونَ مِنۡهُ وَيَشۡرَبُ مِمَّا تَشۡرَبُونَ 33

33        And the leaders of his people who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter and whom We had given the comforts of worldly life said: “He is just a human being like you, he eats what you eat, and drinks what you drink.

وَلَئِنۡ أَطَعۡتُم بَشَرٗا مِّثۡلَكُمۡ إِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ 34

34        “And if you were to obey a human being like yourselves, then, indeed, you would be losers.

أَيَعِدُكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ إِذَا مِتُّمۡ وَكُنتُمۡ تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَنَّكُم مُّخۡرَجُونَ 35

35        “Does he promise you that when you have died and have been reduced to dust and bones, you will be reborn?

۞هَيۡهَاتَ هَيۡهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ 36

36        “Far, very far is that which you are promised!

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنۡيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحۡيَا وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَبۡعُوثِينَ 37

37        “There is nothing except the worldly life. Some of us die and others survive and we are not going to be resurrected.

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا وَمَا نَحۡنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ 38

38        “He is just a man who has coined a lie against Allah (saying that we will be resurrected again), and we are not going to believe in him.”

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرۡنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ 39

39        (The Prophet) said: “O my Creator! Help me because they deny me.”

قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٖ لَّيُصۡبِحُنَّ نَٰدِمِينَ 40

40        (Allah) said: “They will surely be regretful in a short while for what they used to do”. 

فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ غُثَآءٗۚ فَبُعۡدٗا لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 41

41        So, due to (Allah’s) justice, an awful cry seized them, and We made them like rubbish. So away with the people who are wrong-doers.

ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ قُرُونًا ءَاخَرِينَ 42

42        Then, after them, We created another nation.

مَا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَ‍ٔۡخِرُونَ 43

43        No nation can advance or delay their appointed time (of destruction).

ثُمَّ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتۡرَاۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةٗ رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُۖ فَأَتۡبَعۡنَا بَعۡضَهُم بَعۡضٗا وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَحَادِيثَۚ فَبُعۡدٗا لِّقَوۡمٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ 44

44        Then We sent Our messengers one after another. Every time a messenger came to a nation, they denied him. So We made one follow the other (to destruction) and made them stories (to learn lesson from them). So (far) away are the people who did not believe!

ثُمَّ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ 45

45        Then We sent Musa ( peace be upon him )  and his brother Harun ( peace be upon him )  with Our revelations and clear proofs, 

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمًا عَالِينَ 46

46        To Firaun and his chiefs, but they showed arrogance, and they were very haughty people.

فَقَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لِبَشَرَيۡنِ مِثۡلِنَا وَقَوۡمُهُمَا لَنَا عَٰبِدُونَ 47

47        They said: “Shall we believe in two men like ourselves while their people are our obedient servants”.
