"And remember how He made you heirs to [the tribe of] 'Ad⁵⁸ and settled you firmly on earth, so that you [are able to] build for yourselves castles on its plains and hew out mountains [to serve you] as dwellings:⁵⁹ remember, then, God's blessings, and do not act wickedly on earth by spreading corruption."

- Mohammad Asad

Remember how you were made the heirs of 'Ad and settled in the land, capable of building mansions in the valleys and carving out homes in the mountains. Therefore, remember the favors of Allah and do not spread mischief in the land."

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

Remember when He made you successors after 'Ad and established you in the land- 'and' you built palaces on its plains and carved homes into mountains. So remember Allah's favours, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land.'
