Verse: 24-26

Have you heard the story of the honored guests of Ibraheem?

When they came to him and said salam He said salam (as well) These are strangers (thought to himself).

Then he went to his family; And came with a roasted calf ;

Familiar habits limit our imagination close to the Muttaqin, And paradise will be bought and understanding.

(Honor in every word of these ayaat)

not far off.

Verse:27-28
And he served it to them. He asked (as he saw them not extending their hands to food). Will you not eat?

So he was apprehensive of them. They responded, Dont be afraid. And they gave him, the tiding of a knowledgeable boy.

On that his wife approached with a cry (of astonishment); And struck her face; And said, A barren old woman (give birth to a son )?

Verse: 30-32
A View from Grave

They replied, That is exactly what your Master said. And He is definitely the Wise, the Knowing.

Ibraheem further asked, What is your business (here), Messengers?!

They responded, For sure, We have been sent to a criminal lot ,

Verse: 33-35

So that fire down upon them a blaster of stones, from baked clay,

Marked with your Master, for the transgressors.

So we evacuated whoever of the believers was in there.

Verse: 36-38

But We did not find in there a single Muslim household except one .

And We left in there a sign for those who fear the painful punishment .

And (so is there a sign) in Musa, when We sent him to Firaun, with a clear authority.

The same natural elements that were alluded to in the beginning which serve to be a source of life for man can also means for your destruction as time and history

Verse: 39-41

But he turned away with his supporters and said, A magician or a mad man.

So We seized him and his soldiers And chucked them into the sea, While he was guilty.

And in Aad too (there was a sign): When We sent against them the barren wind.

Verse: 42-44

It did not leave anything which it blew on But turned it into disintegrated ruins.

And in Thamood: When they were asked to avail worldly comforts for a while. But they were insolent against the command of their Master: Hence they were seized by the thunderbolt, while they were looking on.

Verse: 45-46

So they could neither stand up, Nor could they defend themselves.

And the people of Nh before them. Without a doubt they too were defiantly disobedient people.
