have they then never journeyed about the earth and beheld what happened in the end to those who lived before their time? greater were they in power than they are and in the impact which they left on earth but god took them to task for their sins and they had none to defend them against god this because their apostles had come to them with all evidence of the truth and yet they rejected it and so god took them to task for verily he is powerful severe in retribution!
أولم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين كانوا من قبلهم كانوا هم أشد منهم قوة وآثارا في الأرض فأخذهم الله بذنوبهم وما كان لهم من الله من واق ذلك بأنهم كانت تأتيهم رسلهم بالبينات فكفروا فأخذهم الله إنه قوي شديد العقاب
