Surah 7. Al-A'raf, Ayah 84
| وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرًا ۖ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- amt.arnaa calay -him mat.ar(an) fa- unz.ur kayfa kaana caaqibah al- mujrimen |
| Pickthall | : | And We rained a rain upon them. See now the nature of the consequence for evil doers! |
| Asad | : | the while We rained a rain [of destruction] upon the others: and behold what happened in the end to those people lost in sin! |
| Malik | : | We let loose rain of brimstone and every one of them was killed; see what was the outcome for such criminals. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime! 1052 |
Note - 1052The shower is expressly stated in Q. xi. 82 to have been
of stones. In xv. 73-74, we are told that there was a
terrible blast or noise (saihat) in addition to the
shower of stones. Taking these passages into
consideration along with Gen. xix. 24. (see n. 1049
above), I think it is legitimate to translate: "a shower
of brimstone."
