Surah 54. Al-Qamar, Ayah 19
| إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ |
| Asad | : | Behold, We let loose upon them a raging stormwind on a day of bitter misfortune: |
| Malik | : | We let loose on them a tornado, on the day of their bitter misfortune, |
| Pickthall | : | Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity, |
| Yusuf Ali | : | For We sent against them a furious wind on a Day of violent Disaster 5144 |
| Transliteration | : | Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin |
Note - 5144Cf. xli. 16. How graphic is the description of the
tornado that uprooted them! It must indeed be a dreadful
tornado that plucks up the palm-trees by their deep
tap-roots. The "Day" is an indefinite period of time. The
wind that destroyed the 'Ad people lasted seven nights
and eight days: lxix. 7.
