ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضَ

أَوَلَمْ
يَسِيرُوا۟

كَيْفَ
كَانَ
عَـٰقِبَةُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ
كَانُوٓا۟
أَشَدَّ
مِنْهُمْ
قُوَّةًۭ
وَأَثَارُوا۟
ٱلْأَرْضَ
وَعَمَرُوهَآ
أَكْثَرَ
مِمَّا
عَمَرُوهَا
وَجَآءَتْهُمْ
رُسُلُهُم
بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ ۖ
فَمَا
كَانَ
ٱللَّهُ
لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ
وَلَـٰكِن
كَانُوٓا۟
أَنفُسَهُمْ
يَظْلِمُونَ
Have they not travelled through the land and seen how their predecessors met their end? They were mightier than them: they cultivated the earth more and built more upon it. Their own mes-sengers also came to them with clear signs: God did not wrong them; they wronged themselves.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

ثُمَّ
كَانَ

شُرَكَآئِهِمْ
شُفَعَـٰٓؤُا۟
وَكَانُوا۟
بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ

ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ
فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ
فِى
ٱلْعَذَابِ
مُحْضَرُونَ

فَسُبْحَـٰنَ
ٱللَّهِ
حِينَ
تُمْسُونَ
وَحِينَ
تُصْبِحُونَ

ٱلْحَىِّ
وَيُحْىِ

بَعْدَ
مَوْتِهَا ۚ

أَنتُم
بَشَرٌۭ
تَنتَشِرُونَ
