Sura 41
Aya 15
15
فَأَمّا عادٌ فَاستَكبَروا فِي الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَقالوا مَن أَشَدُّ مِنّا قُوَّةً ۖ أَوَلَم يَرَوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذي خَلَقَهُم هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنهُم قُوَّةً ۖ وَكانوا بِآياتِنا يَجحَدونَ

Yusuf Ali

Now the ‘Ād behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason,1 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!
  • Against (all) truth and reason: Cf. 7:33. Their estimate of their own strength was greater than was justified by facts, but if they had all the strength which they arrogated to themselves, yet how could they stand before God?
