Sura Al-Mu'minun from 28 to 42


28. And when you have embarked on the ship, you and whoever is with you, then say: « All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, Who has saved us from the people who are Zâlimûn ( i.e. oppressors, wrong- doers, polytheists, those who join others in worship with Allâh ) .»
29. And say: « My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing- place, for You are the Best of those who bring to land. »
30. Verily, in this [ what We did as regards drowning of the people of Nûh ( Noah ) ] , there are indeed Ayât ( proofs, evidence, lessons, signs, etc. for men to understand ) , for sure We are ever putting ( men ) to the test.
31. Then, after them, We created another generation.
32. And We sent to them a Messenger from among themselves ( saying ) : « Worship Allâh! You have no other Ilâh ( God ) but Him. Will you not then be afraid ( of Him i.e. of His punishment because of worshipping others besides Him ) ? »
33. And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and whom We had given the luxuries and comforts of this life, said: « He is no more than a human being like you, he eats of that which you eat, and drinks of what you drink.»
34. « If you were to obey a human being like yourselves, then verily you indeed would be losers.»
35. « Does he promise you that when you have died and have become dust and bones, you shall come out alive ( resurrected ) ?»
36. « Far, very far is that which you are promised!»
37. « There is nothing but our life of this world! We die and we live! And we are not going to be resurrected!»
38. « He is only a man who has invented a lie against Allâh, and we are not going to believe in him. »
39. He said: « O my Lord! Help me because they deny me. »
40. ( Allâh ) said: « In a little while, they are sure to be regretful. »
41. So As- Saihah ( torment - awful cry ) overtook them in truth ( with justice ) , and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zâlimûn ( polytheists, wrong- doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, disobedient to His Messengers ) .
42. Then, after them, We created other generations.
