Chapter 25, Page 363, Juz 19

35. (Before this,) We sent Moses The Book, and appointed his brother Aaron with him as minister; 36. And We command: "Go ye both, to the people who have rejected our Signs:" And those (people) We destroyed with utter destruction. 37. And the people of Noah,- when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them as a Sign for mankind; and We have prepared for (all) wrong-doers a grievous Penalty;- 38. As also 'Ad and Thamud, and the Companions of the Rass, and many a generation between them. 39. To each one We set forth Parables and examples; and each one We broke to utter annihilation (for their sins). 40. And the (Unbelievers) must indeed have passed by the town on which was rained a shower of evil: did they not then see it (with their own eyes)? But they fear not the Resurrection. 41. When they see thee, they treat thee no otherwise than in mockery: "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?" 42. "He indeed would well-nigh have misled us from our gods, had it not been that we were constant to them!" - Soon will they know, when they see the Penalty, who it is that is most misled in Path! 43. Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him? 44. Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle;- nay, they are worse astray in Path.
