بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ (134)

and gardens, and springs.

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ (135)

I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous day.”

قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ (136)

They responded, “It is all the same to us whether you warn ˹us˺ or not.

إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ (137)

This is simply the tradition of our predecessors.

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ (138)

And we will never be punished.”

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ (139)

So they rejected him, and ˹so˺ We destroyed them. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ (140)

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
