Surah 26 · 5 verses

136
قَالُوا سَوَاء عَلَيْنَا أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ الْوَاعِظِينَ
They replied, ‘It makes no difference to us whether you preach or do not preach,
137
إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا خُلُقُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
this is nothing but a habit of the ancients:
138
وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
and we shall not be punished.’
139
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
So they rejected him; and We destroyed them. There is certainly a sign in that; but most of them would not believe.
140
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
Surely your Lord is the Mighty One, the Merciful.
