Ayah: 68

أُبَلِّغُكُمۡ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّي وَأَنَا۠ لَكُمۡ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ

68. I convey to you the Messages of (Allāh) my Lord and I am a faithful adviser to you.

Ayah: 69

أَوَعَجِبۡتُمۡ أَن جَآءَكُمۡ ذِكۡرٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ مِّنكُمۡ لِيُنذِرَكُمۡۚ وَٱذۡكُرُوٓاْ إِذۡ جَعَلَكُمۡ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ قَوۡمِ نُوحٖ وَزَادَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡخَلۡقِ بَصۜۡطَةٗۖ فَٱذۡكُرُوٓاْ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ

69. And do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from among you that he might warn you (from Allah’s Chastisement)? And
Remember when He made you successors after Noah’s people and increased you in stature extensively; so remember the bounties of Allah - that you may succeed.

Ayah: 70

قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئۡتَنَا لِنَعۡبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَحۡدَهُۥ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعۡبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا فَأۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

70. They said: "Have you come to us that we may worship Allāh alone, and give up what our fathers used to worship?" Then bring to us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful.

Ayah: 71

قَالَ قَدۡ وَقَعَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ رِجۡسٞ وَغَضَبٌۖ أَتُجَٰدِلُونَنِي فِيٓ أَسۡمَآءٖ سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَٰنٖۚ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُنتَظِرِينَ

71. He said: "Indeed defilement and wrath from your Lord have fallen upon you. Do you dispute with me about names (of idols that you worship) which you and your fathers have made up? Allāh has not sent any Authority for it. Wait then (for the chastisement), I too with you will be of those who wait (for that, because of your denial of me)."

Ayah: 72

فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعۡنَا دَابِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَاۖ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

72. So, We delivered him and those with him as a Mercy from Us, and We cut off to the root of those who rejected Our revelations and were not believers.

Ayah: 73

وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمۡ صَٰلِحٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥۖ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكُم بَيِّنَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ ءَايَةٗۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأۡكُلۡ فِيٓ أَرۡضِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

73. And to (the people of) Thamud-'We sent' their brother Salih. He said: "My people, worship Allāh alone, you have no god 'worthy of worship' other than Him. Clear Proof indeed has come to you from your Lord. This she-camel of Allāh, a Sign for you, so leave her alone to pasture on Allah’s earth, and do not touch her with any harm, otherwise a painful torment will seize you."
