(26:127) And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds. (26:128) Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves, (26:129) And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally? (26:130) And when you strike, you strike as tyrants. (26:131) So fear Allah and obey me. (26:132) And fear He who provided you with that which you know, (26:133) Provided you with grazing livestock and children (26:134) And gardens and springs. (26:135) Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day." (26:136) They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors. (26:137) This is not but the custom of the former peoples, (26:138) And we are not to be punished." (26:139) And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. (26:140) And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
