Hastening towards the caller. Those who are spiritually dead and blind will say: "This is an arduous day."

(The people of) Thamūd persistently refused to take close heed of Our warnings.
They said: “What! Is it a mortal man, one of us, that we should follow? Verily, we would then be in utter deception and madness.
What! Out of all of us have the Enlightenment Quotes been given to him alone?? Nay, but he is an insolent liar!"
They will know tomorrow who is the liar, the insolent one!
Verily, We are going to send the She-camel as a temptation for them. Thus, watch them, (O’ Sālih), and cling to patience.

Are, then, those of you who are spiritually blind better than those? Or have you received amnesty through the Scriptures?
Or do they say: "We shall be triumphant because of our unity?"
The hosts will be defeated. They will turn and flee.
Nay, but the Hour is their promised time, and It will be the most grievous and bitter!
Most assuredly the Ungodly Sinners are in deception and insanity.
On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces, (It will be said unto them): “Taste the touch of the Hellfire!”
Verily, We have created everything for a specific reason.
Our Command is but one as the twinkling of an eye.
Verily, We have utterly destroyed so many people like you. But is there anyone who will be willing to receive admonition (and yield to the truth)?

Everything, small or big, is written down.
Verily, the Pious servants will be in Gardens and rivers,
In a Seat of Truth in the Presence of the Most Powerful King.
