Surah 26 - Al Shu'ara' THE POETS -026.101-026.150
026.101 "'Nor a single friend to feel (for us).
026.102 "'Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!'"
026.103 Verily in this is a Sign but most of them do not believe.
026.104 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
026.105 The people of Noah rejected the messengers.
026.106 Behold, their brother Noah said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
026.107 "I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust:
026.108 "So fear Allah, and obey me.
026.109 "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds:
026.110 "So fear Allah, and obey me."
026.111 They said: "Shall we believe in thee when it is the meanest that follow thee?"
026.112 He said: "And what do I know as to what they do?
026.113 "Their account is only with my Lord, if ye could (but) understand.
026.114 "I am not one to drive away those who believe.
026.115 "I am sent only to warn plainly in public."
026.116 They said: "If thou desist not, O Noah! thou shalt be stoned (to death)."
026.117 He said: "O my Lord! Truly my people have rejected me.
026.118 "Judge Thou, then, between me and them openly, and deliver me and those of the Believers who are with me."
026.119 So We delivered him and those with him, in the Ark filled (with all creatures).
026.120 Thereafter We drowned those who remained behind.
026.121 Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
026.122 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
026.123 The 'Ad (people) rejected the messengers.
026.124 Behold, their brother Hud said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
026.125 "I am to you an messenger worthy of all trust:
026.126 "So fear Allah and obey me.
026.127 "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
026.128 "Do ye build a landmark on every high place to amuse yourselves?
026.129 "And do ye get for yourselves fine buildings in the hope of living therein (for ever)?
026.130 "And when ye exert your strong hand, do ye do it like men of absolute power?
026.131 "Now fear Allah, and obey me.
026.132 "Yea, fear Him Who has bestowed on you freely all that ye know.
026.133 "Freely has He bestowed on you cattle and sons,-
026.134 "And Gardens and Springs.
026.135 "Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Great Day."
026.136 They said: "It is the same to us whether thou admonish us or be not among (our) admonishers!
026.137 "This is no other than a customary device of the ancients,
026.138 "And we are not the ones to receive Pains and Penalties!"
026.139 So they rejected him, and We destroyed them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
026.140 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
026.141 The Thamud (people) rejected the messengers.
026.142 Behold, their brother Salih said to them: "Will you not fear (God)?
026.143 "I am to you an messenger worthy of all trust.
026.144 "So fear Allah, and obey me.
026.145 "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
026.146 "Will ye be left secure, in (the enjoyment of) all that ye have here?-
026.147 "Gardens and Springs,
026.148 "And corn-fields and date-palms with spathes near breaking (with the weight of fruit)?
026.149 "And ye carve houses out of (rocky) mountains with great skill.
026.150 "But fear Allah and obey me;
