(The tribes of) Thamud and A’ad disbelieved in the judgment to come.

But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!

And the ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;

Which Allah imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed), as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms!

Now, do you see any of them alive?

And Fir’aun (Pharaoh), and those before him, and the cities overthrown [the towns of the people of [Lout (Lot)] committed sin,

And they disobeyed their Lord’s Messenger, so He punished them with a strong punishment.

Just consider the great flood of Noah, when the water rose high, We carried you (O mankind) in the floating Ark,

That We might make it a remembrance for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember.

Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one),

and the earth with all its mountains will be lifted up and crushed into pieces with a single stroke

Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.
Meaning:-
Infirm: weak; irresolute. (irresolute meaning: showing or feeling hesitancy; uncertain)

The angels will stand all around and eight of them will be carrying the Throne of your Lord above them.

That shall be the day when you will be brought before your Lord, and none of your secrets shall remain hidden.

Then he, who will be given his Book of Deeds in his right hand, will say: “Here it is, read my Book of deeds!”

“Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!”

So he will have a life of pleasure,

In a high garden

Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

[They will be told], “Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past.”

But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, “Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

“And that I had never known, how my Account is?

“Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!

My wealth had availed me nothing,

and my authority has gone away from me.”

We shall say: “Seize him and put a chain around his neck,

And then drive him to hell-fire

then fasten him with a chain seventy cubits long.

For he did not believe in Allah, the Most High,

nor did he care to feed the poor.

Therefore he has not here today a true friend,

nor any food except the pus from the washing of wounds,

None will eat it except the sinners.

So I swear by what you see

and all that you cannot see,

[That] indeed, the Qur’an is the word of a noble Messenger.

is it not the word of a poet – little is it that you believe,

Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller), little is that you remember
Meaning:-
Soothsayer: fortune teller, a person supposed to be able to foresee the future.

This is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

Had he (Muhammad) invented false statement concerning Us,

We surely should have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might),

And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
Meaning:-
Artery: A vessel that carries blood high in oxygen content away from the heart to the farthest reaches of the body.

and none of you could prevent it!

Surely this Qur’an is a reminder to the Godfearing.

We know that there are some among you who deny it,

And indeed it (this Quran) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).
Meaning:-
Anguish: severe mental or physical pain or suffering.

And Verily, it (this Quran) is an absolute truth with certainty.

So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
