فاما عاد فاستكبروا في الارض بغير الحق وقالوا من اشد منا قوة اولم يروا ان الله الذي خلقهم هو اشد منهم قوة وكانوا باياتنا يجحدون

Now the ‘Ād behaved Arrogantly through the land, Against (all) truth and reason, And said: "Who is superior To us in strength?" What! Did they not see that God, Who created them, Was superior to them In strength? But they Continued to reject Our Signs!
