Chapter 25, Page 363, Juz 19

35. Surely We gave Mūsā the Book, and appointed his brother Hārūn as a minister with him. 36. So we said, “Go, both of you, to the people who have rejected Our signs” Then We annihilated them totally. 37. As for the people of NūH, when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them and made them an example for mankind, and We have prepared a painful punishment for the transgressors. 38. And (We annihilated also the peoples of) ‘Ād and Thamūd and the people of Rass, and many generations in between them. 39. To each (of them) We cited examples, and each of them We brought to utter ruin. 40. Indeed they (the pagans of Makkah) have passed by the town that was afflicted by an evil rain sent down to it. So, have they not been seeing it? Rather, they do not believe in Resurrection. 41. When they see you, they take you only as a laughing stock, (saying) “Is this the man whom Allah has sent as a messenger? 42. He would have almost led us astray from our gods, had we not been so firm towards them.” They will know when they will see the punishment, who is farther astray in his way. 43. Tell me about the one who has taken his desire as his god, would you then, become a guardian for him? 44. Or do you think that most of them listen or understand? They are but like cattle. Rather, they are even farther astray from the (right) way.
