وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِنْ قَرْیَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَاَنْشَاْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرٖینَ
And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people

21. Al-Anbya
الْاَنْبِيَاءِ
فَلَمَّٓا اَحَسُّوا بَاْسَنَٓا اِذَا هُمْ مِنْهَا یَرْكُضُونَؕ
And when its inhabitants perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it
Saheeh Intl
لَا تَرْكُضُوا وَارْجِعُٓوا اِلٰى مَٓا اُتْرِفْتُمْ فٖیهِ وَمَسَاكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُونَ
[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned
Saheeh Intl
قَالُوا یَا وَیْلَنَٓا اِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمٖینَ
They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers
Saheeh Intl
فَمَا زَالَتْ تِلْكَ دَعْوٰیهُمْ حَتّٰى جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصٖیدًا خَامِدٖینَ
And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire]
Saheeh Intl
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَٓاءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا لَاعِبٖینَ
And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play
Saheeh Intl
لَوْ اَرَدْنَٓا اَنْ نَتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَاتَّخَذْنَاهُ مِنْ لَدُنَّاࣗ اِنْ كُنَّا فَاعِلٖینَ
Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so
Saheeh Intl
بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَیَدْمَغُهُ فَاِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌؕ وَلَكُمُ الْوَیْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ
Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe
Saheeh Intl
وَلَهُ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِؕ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهُ لَا یَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَلَا یَسْتَحْسِرُونَۚ
To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire
Saheeh Intl
یُسَبِّحُونَ الَّیْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا یَفْتُرُونَ
They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken
Saheeh Intl
اَمِ اتَّخَذُٓوا اٰلِهَةً مِنَ الْاَرْضِ هُمْ یُنْشِرُونَ
Or have men taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]
Saheeh Intl
لَوْ كَانَ فٖیهِمَٓا اٰلِهَةٌ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا یَصِفُونَ
Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe
Saheeh Intl
لَا یُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا یَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ یُسْـَٔلُونَ
He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned
Saheeh Intl
اَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةًؕ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْۚ هٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَنْ مَعِیَ وَذِكْرُ مَنْ قَبْلٖیؕ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُونَۙ الْحَقَّ فَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ
Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muhammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur'an] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away
