[23:28]

And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk!

[23:29]

And say: My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for Thou art Best of all who bring to land.

[23:30]

Lo! herein verily are portents, for lo! We are ever putting (mankind) to the test.

[23:31]

Then, after them, We brought forth another generation;

[23:32]

And we sent among them a messenger of their own, saying: Serve Allah, Ye have no other God save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

[23:33]

And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink.

[23:34]

If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losers.

[23:35]

Doth he promise you that you, when ye are dead and have become dust and bones, will (again) be brought forth ?

[23:36]

Begone, begone, with that which ye are promised!

[23:37]

There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live, and we shall not be raised (again).

[23:38]

He is only a man who hath invented a lie about Allah. We are not going to put faith in him.

[23:39]

He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

[23:40]

He said: In a little while they surely will become repentant.

[23:41]

So the (Awful) Cry overtook them rightfully, and We made them like as wreckage (that a torrent hurleth). A far removal for wrongdoing folk!

[23:42]

Then after them We brought forth other generations.
