فِيهَا
وَقَدَّرَ
فِيهَآ
أَقْوَٰتَهَا
فِىٓ
أَرْبَعَةِ
أَيَّامٍۢ
سَوَآءًۭ

فِى
يَوْمَيْنِ
وَأَوْحَىٰ
فِى
كُلِّ
سَمَآءٍ
أَمْرَهَا ۚ
وَزَيَّنَّا
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
ٱلدُّنْيَا
بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ
وَحِفْظًۭا ۚ
ذَٰلِكَ
تَقْدِيرُ
ٱلْعَزِيزِ

فَإِنْ
أَعْرَضُوا۟
فَقُلْ
أَنذَرْتُكُمْ
صَـٰعِقَةًۭ
مِّثْلَ
صَـٰعِقَةِ
عَادٍۢ
وَثَمُودَ
If they turn away, say, ‘I have warned you about a blast like the one which struck 'Ad and Thamud:

41:14
إِذْ
جَآءَتْهُمُ
ٱلرُّسُلُ
مِنۢ
بَيْنِ
أَيْدِيهِمْ
وَمِنْ
خَلْفِهِمْ
أَلَّا
تَعْبُدُوٓا۟
إِلَّا
ٱللَّهَ ۖ
قَالُوا۟
لَوْ
شَآءَ
رَبُّنَا
لَأَنزَلَ
مَلَـٰٓئِكَةًۭ
فَإِنَّا
بِمَآ
أُرْسِلْتُم
بِهِۦ
كَـٰفِرُونَ

41:15
فَأَمَّا
عَادٌۭ
فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟
فِى
ٱلْأَرْضِ
بِغَيْرِ
ٱلْحَقِّ
وَقَالُوا۟
مَنْ
أَشَدُّ
مِنَّا
قُوَّةً ۖ
أَوَلَمْ
يَرَوْا۟
أَنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
ٱلَّذِى
خَلَقَهُمْ
هُوَ
أَشَدُّ
مِنْهُمْ
قُوَّةًۭ ۖ
وَكَانُوا۟
بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا
يَجْحَدُونَ
The people of 'Ad behaved arrogantly throughout the land without any right, saying, “Who could be stronger than us?” Did they not realize that God, who created them, was stronger than them?’ They continued to reject Our message,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

41:16
فَأَرْسَلْنَا
عَلَيْهِمْ
رِيحًۭا
صَرْصَرًۭا
فِىٓ
أَيَّامٍۢ
نَّحِسَاتٍۢ
لِّنُذِيقَهُمْ
عَذَابَ
ٱلْخِزْىِ
فِى
ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ
ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ
وَلَعَذَابُ
ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ
أَخْزَىٰ ۖ
وَهُمْ
لَا
يُنصَرُونَ
so We let a roaring wind loose on them for a few disastrous days to make them taste the punishment of shame in this world; more shameful still will be the punishment of the life to come, and they will not be helped.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

41:17
وَأَمَّا
ثَمُودُ
فَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمْ
فَٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟
ٱلْعَمَىٰ
عَلَى
ٱلْهُدَىٰ
فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ
صَـٰعِقَةُ
ٱلْعَذَابِ
ٱلْهُونِ
بِمَا
كَانُوا۟
يَكْسِبُونَ
As for Thamud, We gave them guidance but they preferred blindness, so they were struck by a blast of humiliating punishment for their misdeeds.

ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
وَكَانُوا۟
يَتَّقُونَ

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

41:19
وَيَوْمَ
يُحْشَرُ
أَعْدَآءُ
ٱللَّهِ
إِلَى
ٱلنَّارِ
فَهُمْ
يُوزَعُونَ
On the Day when God’s enemies are gathered up for the Fire and driven onward,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

41:20
حَتَّىٰٓ
إِذَا
مَا
جَآءُوهَا
شَهِدَ
عَلَيْهِمْ
سَمْعُهُمْ
وَأَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ
وَجُلُودُهُم
بِمَا
كَانُوا۟
يَعْمَلُونَ
their ears, eyes, and skins will, when they reach it, testify against them for their misdeeds.
