M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Do they not see how many generations We have destroyed before them, none of whom will ever come back to them?
أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ
alam yaraw kam ahlaknā qablahum mina l-qurūni annahum ilayhim lā yarjiʿūna
