كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
The people of Thamûd rejected the messengers
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
when their brother Ṣâliḥ said to them, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?
إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ
I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.
أَتُتۡرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ
Do you think you will be ˹forever˺ left secure in what you have here:
فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ
amid gardens and springs,
وَزُرُوعٖ وَنَخۡلٖ طَلۡعُهَا هَضِيمٞ
and ˹various˺ crops, and palm trees ˹loaded˺ with tender fruit;
وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتٗا فَٰرِهِينَ
to carve homes in the mountains with great skill?
