وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ۗ أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۗ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْا۟ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

TRANSLITERATION

Wamā arsalnā min qablika illā rijālan nūḥī ilayhim min ahlil-qurā, afalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fayanẓurū kayfa kāna ʿāqibatul-ladhīna min qablihim, waladārul-ākhirati khayrul lilladhīnattaqaw, afalā taʿqilūn

ENGLISH TRANSLATION · TALAL ITANI

We did not send before you except men, whom We inspired, from the people of the towns. Have they not roamed the earth and seen the consequences for those before them? The Home of the Hereafter is better for those who are righteous. Do you not understand?
