وَإِلَى مَدْیَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَیْباً فَقَالَ یَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَارْجُوا الْیَوْمَ الاْخِرَ وَلاَ تَعْثَوْا فِى الاَْرْضِ مُفْسِدِینَ (( 36 ))

36- AND TO MEDIAN (WE SENT) THEIR BROTHER SHUAIB. THEN HE SAID:- ``O, MY PEOPLE! WORSHIP ALLAH, AND HOPE FOR THE LAST DAY, AND MAKE NO MISCHIEF IN THE LAND THROUGH CORRUPTION.''

فَکَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِى دَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِینَ(( 37 ))

37- THEY BELIED HIM. SO AN EARTHQUAKE SEIZED THEM AND IN THE MORNING THEY WERE LAID IN THEIR HOUSES UPSIDE DOWN. (MOTIONLESS)

وَعَاداً وَثَمُودَ وَقَدْ تَبَیَّنَ لَکُمْ مِّنْ مَّسَاکِنِهِمْ وَزَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِیلِ وَکَانُوا مُسْتَبْصِرِینَ(( 38 ))

38- AND طD, AND THAMUD; IT HAS BEEN CLEAR TO YOU FROM (THE RUINS OF) THEIR HOMES. AND SATAN ADORNED FOR THEM THEIR DEEDS, AND BARRED THEM FROM THE WAY, WHILE THEY COULD SEE.

وَقَارُونَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ مُّوسَى بِالْبَیِّنَاتِ فَاسْتَکْبَرُوا فِى الاَْرْضِ وَمَا کَانُوا سَابِقِینَ(( 39 ))

39- AND KORAH, PHARAOH, AND HÄMÄN. MOSES CAME TO THEM WITH CLEAR SIGNS, BUT THEY ACTED PROUDLY AND PRECEDED NOT.

فَکُلّاً أَخَذْنَا بِذَنْبِهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِ حَاصِباً وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ أَخَذَتْهُ الصَّیْحَةُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الاَْرْضَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ أَغْرَقْنَا وَمَا کَانَ اللهُ لِیَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَکِنْ کَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُونَ(( 40 ))
