And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape?

Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].

And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.

So be patient, [O Muhammad], over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting,

And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration.
