`Ad rejected the Messengers.

Remember the time when their brother Hud said to them, "Do you not fear?

I am a Messenger to you worthy of full trust:

so fear AIlah and obey me.

I do not ask of you any reward for this duty, for my reward is with the Lord of the worlds.

What! You erect for mere pleasure, a monument on every high spot,

and build huge castles as if you were immortal;

and when you seize somebody, you seize him like a tyrant.

So fear Allah and obey me.

Fear Him Who has bestowed on you all that you know:

He gave you cattle and children

and gardens and water-springs.

I fear the torment of a dreadful Day for you."

They replied, "Whether you admonish us or not, it is the same for us:

such things have been said in the past as well,

and we are certainly not going to be chastised."

At last, they rejected him, and We destroyed them. Indeed there is a Sign in this, but most of these people would not believe.
