The Letter Qaf - 50:13
Ad, Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot.
Name People?
The Heights/7:65
"And We sent to the people of Ad their brother Hud, saying: "My people, worship Allah. You have no god but Him. Will you not be righteous?"
وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوداًۜ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۜ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
The Heights/7:66
"The disbelievers from among his people said, "We see you in folly. We think you a liar."
قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَوْمِه۪ٓ اِنَّا لَنَرٰيكَ ف۪ي سَفَاهَةٍ وَاِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ الْكَاذِب۪ينَ
The Heights/7:67
"He said: "O my people, I am not a fool, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the universes."
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ ب۪ي سَفَاهَةٌ وَلٰكِنّ۪ي رَسُولٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ
The Heights/7:68
I convey to you the message of my Lord, I am a trustworthy counselor for you.
اُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبّ۪ي وَاَنَا۬ لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ اَم۪ينٌ
The Heights/7:69
Are you surprised that a message from your Lord has come to a man from among you to warn you? Remember that He made you heirs after the people of Noah and made you stronger than them in creation. Think of the Blessings of Allah that you may succeed.
اَوَعَجِبْتُمْ اَنْ جَٓاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ لِيُنْذِرَكُمْۜ وَاذْكُرُٓوا اِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَـفَٓاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَزَادَكُمْ فِي الْخَلْقِ بَصْۣـطَةًۚ فَاذْكُرُٓوا اٰلَٓاءَ اللّٰهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
The Heights/7:70
"They said: "Have you come to us that we may serve Allah alone and abandon what our forefathers served? Bring us what you threatened us with if you are truthful."
قَالُٓوا اَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَحْدَهُ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬نَاۚ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَٓا اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ
The Heights/7:71
"He said: "You are condemned to a torment and anger from your Lord. Are you disputing with me about names which you and your fathers invented and to which Allah has not given them any power? Wait, and I am of those who wait with you."
قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَغَضَبٌۜ اَتُجَادِلُونَن۪ي ف۪ٓي اَسْمَٓاءٍ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَٓا اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَٓاؤُ۬كُمْ مَا نَزَّلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطَانٍۜ فَانْتَظِرُٓوا اِنّ۪ي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِر۪ينَ
The Heights/7:72
We saved him and those with him as a Mercy from Us, and We cut off those who denied Our Verses and disbelieved.
فَاَنْجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذ۪ينَ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا وَمَا كَانُوا مُؤْمِن۪ينَ۟
Prophet Hud/11:50
"And to the people of Ad, their brother Hud. He said: "O my people, serve Allah. You have no gods besides Him. You are but fabricators."
وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوداًۜ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۜ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُونَ
Prophet Hud/11:51
"He said: "O my people, I do not ask any wage from you in return for this. My wage is for none but the One who created me first. Do you not use your intellect?"
يَا قَوْمِ لَٓا اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْراًۜ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذ۪ي فَطَرَن۪يۜ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Prophet Hud/11:52
O My people, ask forgiveness from your Lord, then turn to Him so that He may shower down upon you abundant mercy from the sky and add strength to your strength. Do not turn away as criminals!
وَيَا قَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُٓوا اِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَٓاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَاراً وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰى قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِم۪ينَ
Prophet Hud/11:53
"They said: "O Hud, you have not come to us with a clear proof. We will not abandon our religion on your word alone, nor will we believe in you."
قَالُوا يَا هُودُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِك۪ٓي اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِن۪ينَ
Prophet Hud/11:54
"He said: "We say that you have been struck by one of our gods": "I bear Allah as a witness, and you bear witness that I am far from that which you associate as partners."
اِنْ نَقُولُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰيكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُٓوءٍۜ قَالَ اِنّ۪ٓي اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشْهَدُٓوا اَنّ۪ي بَر۪ٓيءٌ مِمَّا تُشْرِكُونَۙ
Prophet Hud/11:55
From none other than Him. Come on, all of you, unite and prepare a plan against me. And do not wait.
مِنْ دُونِه۪ فَك۪يدُون۪ي جَم۪يعاً ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُونِ
Prophet Hud/11:56
I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord, and there is no creature that He does not control. My Lord is on the straight path.
اِنّ۪ي تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبّ۪ي وَرَبِّكُمْۜ مَا مِنْ دَٓابَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَاۜ اِنَّ رَبّ۪ي عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍ
Prophet Hud/11:57
If you turn away, then I have made known to you the Message with which I have been sent, and My Lord will replace you with another people, and you can do Him no harm. My Lord is the All-Seeing and All-Controlling.
فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَٓا اُرْسِلْتُ بِه۪ٓ اِلَيْكُمْۜ وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبّ۪ي قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْۚ وَلَا تَضُرُّونَهُ شَيْـٔاًۜ اِنَّ رَبّ۪ي عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَف۪يظٌ
Prophet Hud/11:58
When Our Command came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him with a Mercy from Us, and We saved them from a terrible torment.
وَلَمَّا جَٓاءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُوداً وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَّاۚ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابٍ غَل۪يظٍ
Prophet Hud/11:59
Such were the people of Ad. They rejected the Verses of their Lord, rebelled against His messengers and followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.
وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ جَحَدُوا بِاٰيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَهُ وَاتَّبَعُٓوا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَن۪يدٍ
Prophet Hud/11:60
So they suffered a curse in the life of this world and on the Day of Resurrection. In short, the people of Ad disobeyed their Lord. Hud´s people, Ad, were destroyed.
وَاُتْبِعُوا ف۪ي هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّ عَاداً كَفَرُوا رَبَّهُمْۜ اَلَا بُعْداً لِعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُودٍ۟
The Poets/26:124
"Their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not act righteously?"
اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُونَۚ
The Poets/26:127
And I do not ask of you any wage in return for this. My wage belongs only to the Lord of the Universes.
وَمَٓا اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍۚ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلٰى رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَۜ
The Poets/26:128
Do you place a sign (a structure) on every hill and linger?
اَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ ر۪يعٍ اٰيَةً تَعْبَثُونَۙ
The Poets/26:129
Do you build strong structures so that you may abide forever?
وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِـعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَۚ
The Poets/26:132
Listen to the One who gave you all that you know.
وَاتَّقُوا الَّـذ۪ٓي اَمَدَّكُمْ بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَۚ
The Poets/26:135
I fear for you the punishment of a great day.
اِنّ۪ٓي اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظ۪يمٍۜ
The Poets/26:136
"They said, "It is the same for us whether you give advice or not."
قَالُوا سَوَٓاءٌ عَلَيْنَٓا اَوَعَظْتَ اَمْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِنَ الْوَاعِظ۪ينَۙ
The Poets/26:137
This is the way of life followed by those before us.
اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا خُلُقُ الْاَوَّل۪ينَۙ
The Poets/26:139
So they denied him. Finally We destroyed them. There is a lesson in this, but the majority do not believe.
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَاَهْلَكْنَاهُمْۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةًۜ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ
Explained in Detail/41:15
"As for Ad, they were arrogant in the earth unjustly and said: "Who is stronger than us?"Do they not realize that Allah, Who created them, is stronger than them? They were willfully disbelieving in Our signs and miracles."
فَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ اَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةًۜ اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةًۜ وَكَانُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ
Explained in Detail/41:16
Finally, We sent upon them a strong wind on an inauspicious day to make them taste the humiliating torment in the life of this world, while the torment of the Hereafter is more humiliating and they will not be helped.
فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ ر۪يحاً صَرْصَراً ف۪ٓي اَيَّامٍ نَحِسَاتٍ لِنُذ۪يقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْيِ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۜ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَخْزٰى وَهُمْ لَا يُنْصَرُونَ
The Sandhills/46:21
"Remember when Ad´s brother warned his people in the sand dunes. Before and after that he said: "Do not serve none but Allah. I fear for you the torment of a great day"."
وَاذْكُرْ اَخَا عَادٍۜ اِذْ اَنْذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْاَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِه۪ٓ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُٓوا اِلَّا اللّٰهَۜ اِنّ۪ٓي اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظ۪يمٍ
The Sandhills/46:22
"Have you come to us to lead us astray from our gods? Bring us what you have promised us if you are truthful"."
قَالُٓوا اَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ اٰلِهَتِنَاۚ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَٓا اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ
The Sandhills/46:23
Only Allah has the knowledge of it. I announce to you what has been sent with me, but I see that you are an ignorant people.
قَالَ اِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۘ وَاُبَلِّغُكُمْ مَٓا اُرْسِلْتُ بِه۪ وَلٰكِنّ۪ٓي اَرٰيكُمْ قَوْماً تَجْـهَلُونَ
The Sandhills/46:24
"When they finally saw it spreading and heading towards their valley, they said: "This is a cloud that will give us rain. Nay, this is a storm with a painful torment which you have challenged to come."
فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهُ عَارِضاً مُسْتَقْبِلَ اَوْدِيَتِهِمْۙ قَالُوا هٰذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَاۜ بَلْ هُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُمْ بِه۪ۜ ر۪يحٌ ف۪يهَا عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌۙ
The Sandhills/46:25
It destroys everything by the command of your Lord. When morning came, nothing could be seen except their houses. Thus do We punish the guilty people.
تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِاَمْرِ رَبِّهَا فَاَصْبَحُوا لَا يُرٰٓى اِلَّا مَسَاكِنُهُمْۜ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِم۪ينَ
The Scatterers/51:41
(There is a lesson) also in the people of Ad. We sent upon them a terrible wind.
وَف۪ي عَادٍ اِذْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرّ۪يحَ الْعَق۪يمَۚ
The Scatterers/51:42
It turned everything it came across to dust.
مَا تَذَرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ اَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ اِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّم۪يمِۜ
The Moon/54:18
Ad also denied. How is My punishment and My warnings!
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَـكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَاب۪ي وَنُذُرِ
The Moon/54:19
We sent upon them a violent wind on a day of inauspiciousness upon inauspiciousness.
اِنَّٓا اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ ر۪يحاً صَرْصَراً ف۪ي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّۙ
The Moon/54:20
It destroyed the people as if they were date-palms uprooted from their roots.
تَنْزِعُ النَّاسَۙ كَاَنَّهُمْ اَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُنْقَعِرٍ
The Sure Truth/69:4
Thamud and Ad denied the shocking event.
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌ بِالْقَارِعَةِ
The Sure Truth/69:5
And Thamud was destroyed by that raging.
فَاَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَاُهْلِكُوا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ
The Sure Truth/69:6
And Ad was destroyed by a fierce and raging whirlwind.
وَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاُهْلِكُوا بِر۪يحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۙ
The Sure Truth/69:7
He sent it upon them as a scourge for seven nights and eight days. You saw the people fall down like rotten date-palms.
سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ اَيَّامٍۙ حُسُوماً فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ ف۪يهَا صَرْعٰىۙ كَاَنَّهُمْ اَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۚ
