Adh-Dhariyat 51:42
The Winnowing Winds · Meccan · Juz 27 · Page 522
Like Decayed Ruins
مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ ٤٢
It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
It left nothing it came upon but made it like disintegrated ruins.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is the wind reducing everything it touched to a crumbled, decayed state.
Reflect
Trust in Allah rather than in your own strength.
