3. Ah, what will make you know what the reality is!
4. Thamud and Aad denied the judgment to come.
5. As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning.
6. And as for Aad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,
7. Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that you might have seen men lying overthrown, like hollow trunks of palm trees.
8. Can you see any remnant of them?
9. And Pharaoh and those before him and the overthrown cities wrought error,
10. And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefore did He grip them with a tightening grip.

12. That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears might remember.

14. And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash,
15. Then, on that day will the Event befall.
16. And the heaven will split, for that day it will be frail.
17. And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of their Lord that day, above them.

23. Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.
