Allah subjected them to it for seven whole nights and eight whole days without a break. You could see the people flattened in their homes just like the hollow stumps of uprooted palms.

Pharaoh and those before him and the Overturned Cities made a great mistake.
69:10

69:11

69:12
to make it a reminder for you and something to be retained by retentive ears.
69:13
So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast,
69:14
and the earth and the mountains are lifted and crushed with a single blow,
69:15
On that Day, the Occurrence will occur
69:16
and Heaven will be split apart, for that Day it will be very frail.
69:17
The angels will be gathered round its edge. On that Day, eight will bear the Throne of their Lord above their heads.

69:21
He will have a very pleasant life
69:22
in an elevated Garden,
69:23

69:24
´Eat and drink with relish for what you did before in days gone by!´
69:25
But as for him who is given his Book in his left hand, he will say, ´If only I had not been given my Book

69:37
which no one will eat except those who were in error.´

I swear both by what you see
69:39
and what you do not see,
69:40
that this is the word of a noble Messenger.
69:41
It is not the word of a poet — how little iman you have!
69:42
Nor the word of a fortune-teller — how little heed you pay!
69:43
It is a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds.
69:44
If he had made up any sayings and ascribed them to Us,
69:45

69:46
and then We would have cut off his life-blood
69:47
and not one of you could have protected him.
69:48
