#439 Podcast Al Quran Juz 26 Surah 46 Al Ahqaf verses 21-26

21. And mention the brother of Aad, as he warned his people at the dunes. Warnings have passed away before him, and after him: “Worship none but God; I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.” 22. They said, “Did you come to us to divert us from our gods? Then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are being truthful.” 23. He said, “The knowledge is only with God, and I inform you of what I was sent with; but I see you are an ignorant people.” 24. Then, when they saw a cloud approaching their valley, they said, “This is a cloud that will bring us rain.” “In fact, it is what you were impatient for: a wind in which is grievous suffering.” 25. It will destroy everything by the command of its Lord. And when the morning came upon them, there was nothing to be seen except their dwellings. Thus We requite the guilty people. 26. We had empowered them in the same way as We empowered you; and We gave them the hearing, and the sight, and the minds. But neither their hearing, nor their sight, nor their minds availed them in any way. That is because they disregarded the revelations of God; and so they became surrounded by what they used to ridicule.
