#276 Podcast Al Qur'an Juz 17 QS 21 Al Anbiya 1-10

[Quran Chapter 21] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Mankind's reckoning has drawn near, but they turn away heedlessly. 2. No fresh reminder comes to them from their Lord, but they listen to it playfully. 3. Their hearts distracted, the wrongdoers confer secretly, "Is this anything but a mortal like you? Will you take to sorcery, with open-eyes?" 4. He said, "My Lord knows what is said in the heaven and the earth; and He is the Hearer, the Knower." 5. And they said, "A jumble of dreams," and, "He made it up," and, "He is a poet," "let him bring us a sign, like those sent to the ancients." 6. None of the towns We destroyed before them had believed. Will they, then, believe? 7. We did not send before you except men, whom We inspired. Ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know. 8. We did not make them mere bodies that ate no food, nor were they immortal. 9. Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, and We saved them together with whomever We willed, and We destroyed the extravagant. 10. We have sent down to you a Book, containing your message. Do you not understand?
