وَكَمۡ قَصَمۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٖ كَانَتۡ ظَالِمَةٗ وَأَنشَأۡنَا بَعۡدَهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

[Imagine] how many towns of wrongdoers We have destroyed^[6], and raised after them another people!

[6] i.e., who were persisting in wrongdoing.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّواْ بَأۡسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنۡهَا يَرۡكُضُونَ

When they sensed Our punishment, they started running away from it.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

لَا تَرۡكُضُواْ وَٱرۡجِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ فِيهِ وَمَسَٰكِنِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡـَٔلُونَ

“Do not run away, but return to your luxuries and dwellings^[7], perhaps you will be questioned.”

[7] This is said to them in sarcasm and ridicule.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

They said, “Woe to us! We were indeed wrongdoers.”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

فَمَا زَالَت تِّلۡكَ دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ حَصِيدًا خَٰمِدِينَ

They kept crying this out loud until We mowed them down, lifeless^[8].

[8] i.e., extinguished like ashes.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

We did not create the heavens and earth and all that is between them for fun.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 17

لَوۡ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهۡوٗا لَّٱتَّخَذۡنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ

If We had wished for a pastime^[9], We could have had it from Our own, if We were to do so.

[9] Such as a wife or a child.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 18

بَلۡ نَقۡذِفُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلۡبَٰطِلِ فَيَدۡمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٞۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡوَيۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ

Rather, We hurl the truth at falsehood, and it crushes it^[10], so it vanishes. Woe to you for what you falsely ascribe [to Allah]^[11]!

[10] Lit. "strikes its brain," disabling or killing it.
[11] Claiming that He has a son, a wife, or a partner.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 19

وَلَهُۥ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَنۡ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسۡتَحۡسِرُونَ

To Him belongs all those who are in the heavens and earth. Those [angels] who are with Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they ever grow weary.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 20

يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفۡتُرُونَ

They glorify Him day and night tirelessly.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 21

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ ءَالِهَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هُمۡ يُنشِرُونَ

Or have they taken gods from the earth who [cannot even] resurrect the dead?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 22

لَوۡ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

If there had been gods besides Allah in the heavens and earth, both realms would have fallen in disorder. Glory be to Allah – Lord of the Throne – far above what they ascribe [to Him].

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 23

لَا يُسۡـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفۡعَلُ وَهُمۡ يُسۡـَٔلُونَ

He cannot be questioned for what He does, but they will be questioned.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةٗۖ قُلۡ هَاتُواْ بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡۖ هَٰذَا ذِكۡرُ مَن مَّعِيَ وَذِكۡرُ مَن قَبۡلِيۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّۖ فَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ

Or have they taken other gods besides Him? Say, “Bring your proof. Here is the Book of those who are with me, and the Book of those who came before me^[12].” Yet most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away.

[12] The Prophet (ﷺ) is addressed to challenge the pagans to produce their proof for the existence of other gods; whereas, the Qur’an, the Torah, and the Gospel are in agreement that there is no god but Allah alone.
