Quran 14:45 — Ibrahim, verse 45
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
You lived in the same places as others who wronged themselves before, and you were clearly shown how We dealt with them––We gave you many examples.
وَسَكَنْتُمْ فِي مَسَاكِنِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ الْأَمْثَالَ
wasakantum fī masākini alladhīna ẓalamū anfusahum watabayyana lakum kayfa faʿalnā bihim waḍarabnā lakumu l-amthāla
