📘 By the heaven of the constellations the twelve constellations of the planets — as explained in sūrat al-Furqān Q. 2561;
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ
📘 Indeed those who persecute believing men and believing women by having them burnt then do not repent there will be for them the chastisement of Hell in return for their disbelief and there will also be for them the chastisement of burning that is to say the chastisement for their having had the believers burnt in the Hereafter; but it is also said that there is this chastisement for them in this world as when the fire rose up and burnt them as mentioned above.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ

📘 Pharaoh and Thamūd? Fir‘awna wa-Thamūda substitutes for al-junūdi — the mention of ‘Pharaoh’ suffices to also include his followers; their ‘story’ is that they were destroyed for their disbelief and this is meant as a warning for those who deny the Prophet s and the Qur’ān that they may be admonished thereby.
