36:28 After his death, We did not send down any soldiers from heaven against his people, nor would We have done so.

36:29 It was no more than a single blast, and immediately they were extinguished.

36:30 Alas for the humans! No messenger ever comes to them but they ridicule him.

36:31 Do they not see how many generations We destroyed before them who will never come back to them[1]?

36:32 Yet all of them will be brought before Us.

36:33 There is a sign for them in the dead land: We give it life and produce from it grain for them to eat.

36:34 And We have made therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth,

36:35 so that they may eat of its fruit that was not made by their hands[1]. Will they not then give thanks?

36:36 Glory be to the One Who created all types of things[1] that the earth produces, and of themselves, and of things that they have no knowledge about.

36:37 There is another sign for them in the night: We strip from it the daylight, and they are left in darkness.

36:38 The sun is running to its determined course. That is the design of the All-Mighty, All-Knowing.

36:39 As for the moon, We have determined phases for it, until it becomes like an old palm stalk.

36:40 It is not for the sun to catch up with the moon, nor for the night to outstrip the day. Each is floating in its own orbit.
