Assalam alikum I was just wondering this sounds like a contradiction the verses are 46:25 and 51:42 because in the first verse it says wind destroyed everything except there dwellings and in the second verse it says the wind left nothing except dust
-
Shalom / peace ....can't you find another subject title?? One which is more descriptive.....such as ' reconciling verses' etc....why put just a blank title inplying first that there is a contradicton in the scripture?
-
Sorry I don't know how to change the title
-
According to Yusuf Ali, the second verse you cited says "ruins," not dust, and could refer to the ruins of their houses.
-
Yes, their "dust" here is a clear reference to the disintegrated ruins of their houses.

But ruins in English nothing hardly there left

salam yahya
46:25: Destroying everything by command of its Lord. And they became so that nothing was seen [of them] except their dwellings. Thus do We recompense the criminal people.
51:42: It spared nothing that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins.
I don't think there is any contradiction. We must think of these two ayat together. The wind destroyed everything it reached, leaving their dwellings. This is what "ruin" look like:
