أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ 6 إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ 7 ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ 8 وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ 9 وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ 10 ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ 11 فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ 12 فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ 13 |

6. Do
you not consider how your Lord dealt with (the tribe of) Aad, 7. With many-columned Iram, 8. The like of which was not created
in the lands; 9. And with (the
tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley; 10. And with Pharaoh, firm of might, 11. Who (all) were rebellious (to
Allah) in these lands, 12. And
multiplied iniquity therein? 13. Therefore
your Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment. |
It is commanded: The people of the folk of Aad were physically very strong and powerful. They used to construct very high buildings and lofty pillars in Iram Township, and used to consider that they would remain powerful always.
Like them, there was another folk, named “Thamud”. Those people used to carve out the rocks in the valley, build their houses and used to live into them. They were contented that there was no any danger for them in future.
Just like above mentioned two folks, there was Pharaoh, the King of Egypt. He had a great Army with war equipment of every kind and was famous as “the owner of the stakes”. He also used to consider that he would remain always a powerful King.
Accordingly, all of them used to spread evil, corruption and
mischief in the world during their times and oppressed the weak people. At last
the wrath of Allaah almighty encircled them. They were entangled in
various sorts of calamities and were ruined.
