ﱁAnd certainlyﱂWe have sentﱃMessengersﱄbefore youﱅbefore youﱆAmong themﱇ(are) who ﱈWe have relatedﱉto youﱊand among themﱋ(are) who ﱌnotﱍWe have relatedﱎﱏto youﱐAnd notﱑisﱒfor any Messengerﱓthatﱔhe bringsﱕa Signﱖexceptﱗby (the) permissionﱘﱙ(of) AllahﱚSo whenﱛcomesﱜ(the) Commandﱝ(of) Allahﱞit will be decidedﱟin truthﱠand will loseﱡthereﱢthe falsifiersﱣ
We already sent messengers before you. We have told you the stories of some of them, while others We have not. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. But when Allah’s decree comes, judgment will be passed with fairness, and the people of falsehood will then be in ˹total˺ loss.

Also, you find in them ˹other˺ benefits. And by means of them you may reach destinations you desire. And you are carried upon ˹some of˺ them and upon ships.

Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those who were ˹destroyed˺ before them? They were far superior in number and might and ˹richer in˺ monuments throughout the land, but their ˹worldly˺ gains were of no benefit to them.

When their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were prideful in whatever ˹worldly˺ knowledge they had, and were ˹ultimately˺ overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.

When they saw Our punishment, they cried, “˹Now˺ we believe in Allah alone and reject what we had been associating with Him!”

But their faith was of no benefit to them when they saw Our torment. This has ˹always˺ been Allah’s way ˹of dealing˺ with His ˹wicked˺ servants. Then and there the disbelievers were in ˹total˺ loss.
