Ash-Shu'araa — Ruku 7

'Aad denied the messengers

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

And gardens and springs.

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

And we are not to be punished."

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
