Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

Disembark
in peace from Us and with [Our] blessings
upon you and upon nations
[to descend] from those who are with you,
and nations whom We shall provide for,
then a painful punishment from Us shall befall them.’

49 These are accounts of the Unseen
which We reveal to you.
Neither you nor your people used to know
them before this.
So be patient.
Indeed the outcome will be in favour of the Godwary.

50 And to ‘Ād [We sent] Hūd, their brother.
He said, ‘O my people!
Worship Allah.
You have no other god besides Him:
you merely fabricate [the deities that you worship].
51 ‘O my people!
I do not ask you any reward for it.
My reward lies only with Him
who originated me.
Do you not apply reason?
52 ‘O my people!
Plead with your Lord for forgiveness,
then turn to Him penitently:
He will send copious rains for you from the sky,
and add power to your [present] power.
So do not turn your backs [on Him] as guilty ones.’
