۞ وَٱذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُۥ بِٱلْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ ٱلنُّذُرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦٓ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ 21
قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ ءَالِهَتِنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ 22
قَالَ إِنَّمَا ٱلْعِلْمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَأُبَلِّغُكُم مَّآ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَٮٰكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ 23
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُّسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُواْ هَـٰذَا عَارِضٌ مُّمْطِرُنَاۚ بَلْ هُوَ مَا ٱسْتَعْجَلْتُم بِهِۦۖ رِيحٌ فِيهَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 24
تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَىْءِۭ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهَا فَأَصْبَحُواْ لَا يُرَىٰٓ إِلَّا مَسَـٰكِنُهُمْۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ 25
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّـٰهُمْ فِيمَآ إِن مَّكَّنَّـٰكُمْ فِيهِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ سَمْعًا وَأَبْصَـٰرًا وَأَفْــِٔدَةً فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَلَآ أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ وَلَآ أَفْــِٔدَتُهُم مِّن شَىْءٍ إِذْ كَانُواْ يَجْحَدُونَ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ 26
وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَصَرَّفْنَا ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ 27
فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا ءَالِهَةَۢۖ بَلْ ضَلُّواْ عَنْهُمْۚ وَذَٲلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ 28
