The Inevitable Reality -

What is the Inevitable Reality?

And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

And had not known what is my account.

I wish my death had been the decisive one.
