أَوَلَمْ
يَسِيرُوا
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
فَيَنظُرُوا
كَيْفَ
كَانَ
عَاقِبَةُ
الَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبْلِهِمْ
كَانُوا
أَشَدَّ
مِنْهُمْ
قُوَّةً
وَأَثَارُوا
الْأَرْضَ
وَعَمَرُوهَا
أَكْثَرَ
مِمَّا
عَمَرُوهَا
وَجَاءَتْهُمْ
رُسُلُهُم
بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ
فَمَا
كَانَ
اللَّهُ
لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ
وَلَكِن
كَانُوا
أَنفُسَهُمْ
يَظْلِمُونَ

Have they not travelled through the land to see how terrible was the end of the people who lived before them. The people who lived before them were stronger than them in might, in tilling, and in developing the earth. Our Messengers came to them with clear miracles. God did not do an injustice to them but they wronged themselves.
