Chapter 25, Page 363, Juz 19

35. We gave Moses the Book and appointed his brother Aaron to help him. 36. We said, ‘Go, both of you, to the people who have rejected Our signs.’ Later We destroyed those people utterly. 37. The people of Noah, too: when they rejected their messengers, We drowned them and made them an example to all people. We have prepared a painful torment for the evildoers, 38. as We did for the people of Ad, Thamud, and al-Rass, and many generations in between. 39. To each of them We gave warnings, and each of them We destroyed completely. 40. These disbelievers must have passed by the town that was destroyed by the terrible rain––did they not see it? Yet they do not expect to be raised from the dead. 41. Whenever they see you [Prophet] they ridicule you: ‘Is this the one God has sent as a messenger? 42. He might almost have led us astray from our gods if we had not stood so firmly by them.’ When they see the punishment, they will know who is furthest from the path. 43. Think [Prophet] of the man who has taken his own passion as a god: are you to be his guardian? 44. Do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are just like cattle- no, they are further from the path.
