فَجَعَلْنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ﴿٧٤﴾

15:74and We made its topmost part its nethermost, and rained on them stones of shale.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ﴿٧٥﴾

وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍۢ مُّقِيمٍ﴿٧٦﴾

15:76Indeed it is on a standing road,

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿٧٧﴾

15:77and there is indeed a sign in that for the faithful.

وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ﴿٧٨﴾

15:78Indeed the inhabitants of Aykah were [also] wrongdoers.²

فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ﴿٧٩﴾

15:79So We took vengeance on them, and indeed the two of them are on an open highway.³

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ﴿٨٠﴾

15:80Certainly the inhabitants of Hijr denied the apostles.⁴

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ﴿٨١﴾

15:81We had given them Our signs but they disregarded them.

وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ﴿٨٢﴾

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ﴿٨٣﴾

15:83So the Cry seized them at dawn,

فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ﴿٨٤﴾

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌۭ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ﴿٨٥﴾

15:85We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them except with consummate wisdom, and indeed the Hour is bound to come. So forbear with a graceful forbearance.

15:87Certainly We have given you [the surah of] the seven oft-repeated verses and the great Quran.⁵

15:89and say, ‘I am indeed a manifest warner [of punishment from God],’

كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ﴿٩٠﴾
