| 36.13 | Narrate to them the example of the people of a certain town to
whom the Rasools came. |
| 36.14 | At first We sent to them two Rasools, but when they rejected both
We strengthened them with a third and they all said: "Surely we
have been sent to you as Rasools." |
| 36.15 | But the people replied: "You are but humans like us. The
Compassionate (Allah) has revealed nothing; you are surely
lying." |
| 36.16 | They said: "Our Rabb knows that we have indeed been sent as
Rasools towards you |
| 36.17 | and our only duty is to convey His message plainly." |
| 36.18 | The people replied: "We regard you as an evil omen for us.
Desist, or we will either stone you or you will receive from us a
painful punishment." |
| 36.19 | They said: "Your evil omens lies within yourselves. Do you say
this because you are being admonished? Indeed you are a nation of
transgressors." |
| 36.20 | In the meantime a man came running from the remote part of the
City and said: "O my people! Follow these Rasools. |
| 36.21 | Follow the ones who ask no reward of you and are rightly guided. |
| 36.22 | It would not be justifiable on my part if I do not worship Him
Who has created me and to Whom you shall be brought back. |
| 36.23 | Should I take other gods besides Him? If the Compassionate
(Allah) should intend to harm me, their intercession will avail
me nothing, nor will they be able to save me. |
| 36.24 | If I do so, I would indeed be in manifest error. |
| 36.25 | Surely I believe in your Rabb, so listen to me". |
| 36.26 | Consequently they killed that man and it was said to him: "Enter
paradise." He exclaimed: "Would that my people knew that what I
know! |
| 36.27 | How my Rabb has granted me forgiveness and included me among the
honored ones." |
| 36.28 | After that We did not send any army against his people from
heaven, nor was it necessary to do so. |
| 36.29 | It was nothing but a single blast and they all became extinct. |
