إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

In haazaaa illaa khuluqul awwaleen

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

Wa maa nahnu bimu 'azzabeen

And we are not to be punished."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Fakazzaboohu fa ahlaknaahum; inna fee zaalika la aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Kazzabat Samoodul mursaleen

Thamud denied the messengers

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Iz qaala lahum akhoohum Saalihun alaa tattaqoon

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ

Innee lakum Rasoolun ameen

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Fattaqul laaha wa atee'oon

So fear Allah and obey me.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Wa maaa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa 'alaa Rabbil 'aalameen

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ

Atutrakoona fee maa haahunnaaa aamineen

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

Fee jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

Within gardens and springs

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَنَخْلٍۢ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌۭ

Wa zuroo inw wa nakhlin tal 'uhaa hadeem

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا فَٰرِهِينَ

Wa tanhitoona minal jibaali buyootan faariheen

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Fattaqul laaha wa atee'oon

So fear Allah and obey me.

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

Wa laa tutee'ooo amral musrifeen

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

Allazeena yufsidoona fil ardi wa laa yuslihoon

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

Qaalooo innamaa anta minal musahhareen

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

Maaa anta illaa basharum mislunaa faati bi Aayatin in kunta minas saadiqeen

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌۭ لَّهَا شِرْبٌۭ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ

Qaala haazihee naaqatul lahaa shirbunw w alakum shirbu yawmim ma'loom

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ

Wa laa tamassoohaa bisooo'in fa yaakhuzakum 'azaabu Yawmin 'Azeem

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَٰدِمِينَ

Fa'aqaroohaa fa asbahoo naadimeen

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Fa akhazahumul 'azaab; inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum m'mineen

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
