wherefore they are heedless.4

(36:10) It is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn
them for they shall not believe.8

to you
to you
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”3
(36:18) The people of the town said: “We believe you are an evil omen for
us. If you do not desist, we will stone you or you will receive a grievous chastisement
from us.”4

from us.”4
(36:19) The Messengers replied: “Your evil omen is with you.5
(Are you saying this) because you were asked to take heed? The truth is that
you are a people who have exceeded all bounds.”6
(Are you saying this) because you were asked to take heed? The truth is that
you are a people who have exceeded all bounds.”6
(36:20) In the meantime a man came running from the far end of the town,
saying: “My people, follow the Messengers;
saying: “My people, follow the Messengers;

you shall be sent back?8
you shall be sent back?8
(36:23) What! Shall I take any deities apart from Him whose intercession
will not avail me the least were the Merciful One to bring any adversity upon
me, nor will they be able to rescue me?9
will not avail me the least were the Merciful One to bring any adversity upon
me, nor will they be able to rescue me?9
(36:24) Surely in that case0 I should indeed be in evident error.

The man exclaimed: “Would that my people knew

in no need to send down any host.

still.4

mock him.

We gave it life and produced from it grain whereof they eat.
We gave it life and produced from it grain whereof they eat.
(36:34) We made in it gardens of date-palms and vines, and We caused springs
to gush forth

them.8 Will they not, then, give thanks?9

it be of what the earth produces, and of themselves, and of what they do not
know.1

and they become plunged in darkness.2

nor can the night outstrip the day.6 All glide along, each in its
own orbit.7

(36:41) Another Sign for them is that We carried all their offspring in the
laden vessel8

from it.2

graves and be on the move towards their Lord,7

was true.”9

to you an open enemy

to Us and their feet shall bear witness to what they had been doing.5

help from them.
