وَمَآ And not wamā We sent arsalnā before you min before you qablika but illā men rijālan We revealed nūḥī to them ilayhim from (among) min (the) people ahli (of) the townships l-qurā So have not afalam they traveled yasīrū in fī the earth l-arḍi and seen fayanẓurū how kayfa was kāna (the) end ʿāqibatu (of) those who alladhīna (were) before them min (were) before them qablihim And surely the home waladāru (of) the Hereafter l-ākhirati (is) best khayrun for those who lilladhīna fear Allah ittaqaw Then will not afalā you use reason taʿqilūna
And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. So have they1 not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allāh; then will you not reason?
