And We have left a sign there¹ ˹as a lesson˺ for those who fear the painful punishment.

And in ˹the story of˺ Moses ˹was another lesson,˺ when We sent him to Pharaoh with compelling proof,

but Pharaoh was carried away by his power, saying ˹of Moses˺, “A magician or a madman!”

So We seized him and his soldiers, casting them into the sea while he was blameworthy.¹ 

And in ˹the story of˺ ’Âd ˹was another lesson,˺ when We sent against them the devastating wind.¹

There was nothing it came upon that it did not reduce to ashes.

And in ˹the story of˺ Thamûd ˹was another lesson,˺ when they were told, “Enjoy yourselves ˹only˺ for a ˹short˺ while.”¹

Still they persisted in defying the commands of their Lord, so they were overtaken by a ˹mighty˺ blast while they were looking on.

Then they were not able to rise up, nor were they helped.

And the people of Noah ˹had also been destroyed˺ earlier. They were truly a rebellious people.

We built the universe with ˹great˺ might, and We are certainly expanding ˹it˺.

As for the earth, We spread it out. How superbly did We smooth it out!¹

And We created pairs of all things¹ so perhaps you would be mindful.

So ˹proclaim, O  Prophet˺: “Flee to Allah! I am truly sent by Him with a clear warning to you.

And do not set up another god with Allah. I am truly sent by Him with a clear warning to you.”
