46:31
hasten: a hurricane bringing a woeful scourge. It will destroy you all at
the bidding of its Lord. '
And when morning came there was nothing to be seen besides
their (ruined) dwellings. ThusWe reward the wrongdoers.

We had empowered them to do what we have empowered you to
do and given themears, eyes and hearts.Yet nothing did their ears, their
eyes, or their hearts avail them since they denied the revelations of
Allah.The scourge at which theyscoffed encompassed them.
We destroyed the towns around you, and made plain our
revelations so that their people might return to the right path. Why did
no help come forth from the gods they had set up besidesAllah to bring
them close to Him? Indeed, they utterly forsook them. Such were their
lies and such their false inventions.
(Tell) howWe sent to you a band of jinn who, when they came and
listened to the Quran, said to each other: 'Hush! Hush! ' As soon as it
was ended they betook themselves to their people and gave them
warning. 'Our people,' they said, 'we have just been listening to a Book
revealed since the time of Musa, confirming what came before it and
directing to the truth and to a straight path. Our people, answer the call
of Allah's summoner and believe in him! He will forgive you your sins
and deliver you from a woeful punishment. Those who give no heed to
Allah's summoner shall not be beyond reach on earth, nor shall any one
protect thembesides Him. They are in gross error.'
Do they not see that Allah who created the heavens and the earth
and was not wearied by their creation can restore the dead to life? Yes.
