بَلْ عَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ

Indeed they consider it odd that a warner from among themselves should have come to them. So the faithless say, ‘This is an odd thing.’
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا ۖ ذَٰلِكَ رَجْعٌۢ بَعِيدٌ

‘What! When we are dead and have become dust, [shall we be raised again]? That is a far-fetched return!’
قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ

We know what the earth diminishes from them, and with Us is a preserving Book.
بَلْ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِىٓ أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ

Indeed, they denied the truth when it came to them; so they are now in a perplexed state of affairs.
أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ

Have they not, then, observed the heaven above them, how We have built it and adorned it, and that there are no cracks in it?
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ

And We spread out the earth, and cast in it firm mountains, and caused every delightful kind [of vegetation] to grow in it.

[In this there is] an insight and admonition for every penitent servant.
وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبَٰرَكًا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍ وَحَبَّ ٱلْحَصِيدِ

We send down from the sky salubrious water, with which We grow gardens and the grain which is harvested,
وَٱلنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَٰتٍ لَّهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيدٌ
вəн-нəхлə бəəсиќōōтиль-лəhəə тōль'ун-ннəдыыд
and tall date palms with regularly set spathes,
رِّزْقًا لِّلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخُرُوجُ

as a provision for Our servants, and with it We revive a dead country. Likewise will be the rising [from the dead].
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ

The people of Noah denied before them, and [so did] the people of Rass and Thamud,
وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ وَإِخْوَٰنُ لُوطٍ
вə'əəдуу-вəфир'əуну вə`ихвəəну люют
and ‘Ad, Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot,
وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ ۚ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيدِ

and the inhabitants of Aykah and the people of Tubbac. Each [of them] impugned the apostles, and so My threat became due [against them].
