41.11 . Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke , and said unto it and unto the earth : Come both of you , willingly or loth . They said : We come , obedient .
41. 41.12 . Then He ordained them seven heavens in two Days and inspired in each heaven its mandate ; and we decked the nether heaven with lamps , and rendered it inviolable . That is the measuring of the Mighty , the Knower .
41. 41.13 . But if they turn away , then say : I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt ( which fell of old upon the tribes ) of Aad and Thamud ;
41. 41.14 . When their messengers came unto them from before them and behind them , saying : Worship none but Allah! they said : If our Lord had willed , He surely would have sent down angels ( unto us ) , so lo! we are disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been sent .
41. 41.15 . As for Aad , they were arrogant in the land without right , and they said : Who is mightier than us in power? Could they not see that Allah Who created them , He was mightier than them in power? And they denied Our revelations .
41. 41.16 . Therefor We let loose on them a raging wind in evil days , that We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of the world . And verily the doom of the Hereafter will be more shameful , and they will not be helped .
41. 41.17 . And as for Thamud , We gave them guidance , but they preferred blindness to the guidance , so the bolt of the doom of humiliation overtook them because of what they used to earn .
41. 41.18 . And We delivered those who believed and used to keep their duty to Allah .
41. 41.19 . And ( make mention of ) the day when the enemies of Allah are gathered unto the Fire , they are driven on
41. 41.20 . Till , when they reach it , their ears and their eyes and their skins testify against them as to what they used to do .
