(69:1) The Inevitable Reality - (69:2) What is the Inevitable Reality? (69:3) And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality? (69:4) Thamud and `Aad denied the Striking Calamity. (69:5) So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast]. (69:6) And as for `Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind (69:7) Which Allah imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees. (69:8) Then do you see of them any remains? (69:9) And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin. (69:10) And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].
