Sura Hud from 63 to 71


63. He said: « O my people! Tell me, if I have a clear proof from my Lord, and there has come to me a Mercy ( Prophethood ) from Him, who then can help me against Allâh, if I were to disobey Him? Then you increase me not but in loss.»
64. « And O my people! This she- camel of Allâh is a sign to you, so leave her to feed ( graze ) in Allâh’s land, and touch her not with evil, lest a near torment should seize you. »
65. But they killed her. So he said: « Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. This is a promise ( i.e. a threat ) that will not be belied. »
66. So when Our Commandment came, We saved Sâlih and those who believed with him by a Mercy from Us, and from the disgrace of that Day. Verily, your Lord - He is the All- Strong, the All- Mighty.
67. And As- Saihah ( torment - awful cry ) overtook the wrong- doers, so they lay ( dead ) , prostrate in their homes,
68. As if they had never lived there. No doubt! Verily, Thamûd disbelieved in their Lord. So away with Thamûd!
69. And verily, there came Our messengers to Ibrâhîm ( Abraham ) with glad tidings. They said: Salâm ( greetings or peace! ) He answered, Salâm ( greetings or peace! ) and he hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.
70. But when he saw their hands went not towards it ( the meal ) , he mistrusted them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: « Fear not, we have been sent against the people of Lût ( Lot ) . »
71. And his wife was standing ( there ) , and she laughed [ either, because the messengers did not eat their food or for being glad for the destruction of the people of Lût ( Lot ) ] . But We gave her glad tidings of Ishâq ( Isaac ) , and after Ishâq, of Ya‘qûb ( Jacob ) .
