Chapter 17: The Children of Israel (Banî Israel)

Verse No	Pickthall	Shakir	Yusuf Ali	Arabic
17:59	Naught hindereth Us from sending portents save that the folk of old denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel - a clear portent save to warn.	And nothing could have hindered Us that We should send signs except that the ancients rejected them; and We gave to Samood the she-camel -- a manifest sign -- but on her account they did injustice, and We do not send signs but to make (men) fear.	And We refrain from sending the signs, only because the men of former generations treated them as false: We sent the she-camel to the Thamud to open their eyes, but they treated her wrongfully: We only send the Signs by way of terror (and warning from evil).	وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَنْ نُرْسِلَ بِالْاءيَتِ إِلَّا أَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْأَوَّلُونَ وَءاتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْاءيَتِ إِلَّا تَخْوِيفًا
