69:10 10. And they disobeyed their Lord’s Messenger, so He seized them with a strong punishment.

69:12 12. That We might make it (Noah’s ship) an admonition for you and that it might be retained by the retaining ears.

69:13 13. Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one).

69:14 14. And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing.
