Quran page 520

How many generations We have destroyed before them, who were stronger than these, insomuch that they ransacked the towns?! So, is there any escape [from Allah’s punishment]?

There is indeed an admonition in that for one who has a heart, or gives ear, being attentive.

Certainly We created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, in six days, and any fatigue did not touch Us.

So be patient at what they say, and celebrate the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the sunset,

and glorify Him through part of the night and after the prostrations.

And be on the alert for the day when the caller calls from a close quarter,

the day when they hear the Cry in all truth. That is the day of rising [from the dead].

Indeed it is We who give life and bring death, and toward Us is the [final] destination.

The day the earth is split open for [disentombing] them, [they will come out] hastening. That mustering is easy for Us [to carry out].

We know well what they say, and you are not there to compel them. So admonish by the Quran those who fear My threat.

By the scattering [winds] that scatter [the clouds];

by the [rain] bearing [clouds] laden [with water];

by [the ships] which move gently [on the sea];

by [the angels] who dispense [livelihood] by [His] command:

indeed what you are promised is true,

and indeed the retribution will surely come to pass!
