Dr. Mustafa Khattab We did not send any soldiers from the heavens against his people after his death, nor did We need to.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab All it took was one ˹mighty˺ blast, and they were extinguished at once.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab Oh pity, such beings! No messenger ever came to them without being mocked.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab Have the deniers not considered how many peoples We destroyed before them who never came back to life again?

Dr. Mustafa Khattab Yet they will all be brought before Us.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab There is a sign for them in the dead earth: We give it life, producing grain from it for them to eat.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab And We have placed in it gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth in it,

Dr. Mustafa Khattab so that they may eat from its fruit, which they had no hand in making. Will they not then give thanks?

Dr. Mustafa Khattab Glory be to the One Who created all ˹things in˺ pairs—˹be it˺ what the earth produces, their genders, or what they do not know!

Dr. Mustafa Khattab There is also a sign for them in the night: We strip from it daylight, then—behold!—they are in darkness.
