|
29- |
His wife approached with a shout, she gently
hit her face and she said: “(How could an) Old childless woman (bear a child)?”. |

قَالُوا كَذَلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ |
|
30- |
They (the angelic honored guests) said: “So it will be, as your Lord said (that you will have a son). He indeed is the All Wise, knowing it all”. |

35- |
Therefore We brought out all the believers from there. |
|
فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ |
|
36- |
But We did not find any but only one Muslims’ house (except that of Lot and his daughters). |

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَا آيَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ |
|
37- |
And We left there a sign (ruins) as a reminder for those who fear painful punishment. |

وَفِي مُوسَى إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
38- |
And in the story of Moses, there is a
reminder, as We sent him to the Pharaoh with an evident means of authority (by the Miracle). |
|
فَتَوَلَّى بِرُكْنِهِ وَقَالَ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ |

It did not spare anything, kept on blowing at it, till it made it like into broken pieces of bones . |
|
وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا حَتَّى حِينٍ |
|
43- |
And the story of Thamood (,there is also a lesson), as they were told: “Enjoy yourselves for a little while”. |
|
فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ |
|
44- |
But they purposely disobeyed the Command of
their Lord, so the lightning thunderbolt took them, while they were watching it. |
|

|
45- |
Then they could not even get up, nor could they help themselves or get help. |
|
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ |
|
46- |
Also in the story of Noah, before them. They were indeed disobedient evildoing folks. |
|
وَالسَّمَاء بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ |
|
47- |
We build the sky (space) with Our Might and indeed We are expanding it. 1 |
|
وَالْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَاهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُونَ |
|
48- |
And the earth, We spread, with covered (with
meadows, sands etc) and how excellent We have spread (it) for ease and rest (of the creatures). |
|
وَمِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ |
|
49- |
And of every thing, We have created pairs, (or opposites) so that you may remember (the meaning, the reason). |
|
فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ |
|
50- |
Therefore always flee to God (in every
situation, quickly ask God for help). (Say :) “I (Muhammad) am truly a warner from Him for you”. |
|
وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ |
|
51- |
“And don’t ever assume any other god or
anything worthy of worship along with God. I am truly a warner from Him for you”. |
|
كَذَلِكَ مَا أَتَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ |
|
52- |
It has always been like that, not even a
single Messenger came to them, but that they said (and called
him): “A sorcerer or a madman”. |
|
أَتَوَاصَوْا بِهِ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ |
|
53- |
Did they (people of the past) suggest this
expression to those (people)? Not really. They themselves are a rebellions bunch. |
|
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ |
|
54- |
So (O Muhammad,) turn away from them (the
disbelievers who do not want to listen to the truth), you are not to be blamed (for their behavior). |
|
وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَى تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
|
55- |
Yet do remind, for in fact reminding and preaching helps the believers. |
|
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ |
|
56- |
And I did not creat the Jinn and mankind, except that they should worship Me (follow My Guidance). |
|
مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ |
|
57- |
I do not intend to demand any provision from
them (from My creatures) and I don’t ask that they would feed Me (I am the One Who gives them their provisions and food). |
|
إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ |
|
58- |
In reality God is the All Provider, Mighty and the Most Strong. |
|
فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ |
|
59- |
Certainly the punishment of those who did injustice by committing sins, will be like the punishment for the sins of their comrades and the people like them. Therefore they should not hurry (to receive the promised punishment). |
|
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن يَوْمِهِمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ |
|
60- |
Woe to those who deny the truth from (the verdict of) their Day (of court after Resurrection), which they have been promised. |
|
|

This fact is one of the most spectacular Miracles of
the Holy Quran, which over 1400 years ago was mentioned by God,
which just recently has been proven by astrophysics that "the
universe is expanding".
