Fattaqul laaha wa atee'oon
So fear Allah and obey me.
Wattaqul lazeee amad dakum bimaa ta'lamoon
And fear He who provided you with that which you know,
Amaddakum bi an'aa minw wa baneen
Provided you with grazing livestock and children.
Innee akhaafu 'alaikum 'azaaba Yawmin 'azeem
Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."
Qaaloo sawaaa'un 'alainaaa awa 'azta am lam takum minal waa'izeen
They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.
In haazaaa illaa khuluqul awwaleen
This is not but the custom of the former peoples,
Wa maa nahnu bimu 'azzabeen
And we are not to be punished."
Fakazzaboohu fa ahlaknaahum; inna fee zaalika la aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen
And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem
And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
