#391 Podcast Al Qur'an Juz 23 Surah 37 Shad 1-14

[Quran Chapter 38] In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Saad. By the renowned Quran. 2. Those who disbelieve are steeped in arrogance and defiance. 3. How many generations have We destroyed before them? They cried out when it was too late to escape. 4. And they marveled that a warner has come to them from among them. The disbelievers said, "This is a lying magician." 5. "Did he turn all the gods into one God? This is something strange." 6. The notables among them announced: "Go on, and hold fast to your gods. This is something planned. 7. We never heard of this in the former faith. This is nothing but a fabrication. 8. Was the message sent down to him, out of all of us?" In fact, they are doubtful of My warning. In fact, they have not yet tasted My punishment. 9. Or do they possess the treasuries of the mercy of your Lord—the Majestic, the Giver? 10. Or do they possess the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend the ropes. 11. An army of confederates will be defeated there. 12. Before them the people of Noah denied the truth; as did Aad, and Pharaoh of the Stakes. 13. And Thamood, and the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the Woods—these were the confederates. 14. None of them but denied the messengers, so My retribution was deserved.
