...."Which
He made to prevail against them for seven nights and eight days
unremittingly, so that you might have seen the people therein
prostrate as if they were the trunks of hollow palms." (Haaqqa,
7)
....The wind was so furious, roaring
over the land, it ripped trees up from their roots and paralyzed
people with its freezing cold. Those who challenged Allah by asking,
"Who is mightier than us?" tried to flee, yet it was too late.
....The storm raged for eight days
and seven nights. It slashed the clothing and skin of the people.
It entered the nostrils of the body and whipped its way through.
Finally, all these people were destroyed, as were their famous
and wonderful "vineyards of Iram".
