It is a promise of God; and God does not go back on His promise. Yet most men do not understand:

They only know the palpable life of this world, and are oblivious of the Hereafter.

7

اَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوْا فِيْۗ اَنْفُسِہِمْ۝۰ۣ مَا خَلَقَ اللہُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَہُمَاۗ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى۝۰ۭ وَ اِنَّ كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ بِلِقَاۗئِ رَبِّہِمْ لَكٰفِرُوْنَ۝۸

English

Ahmed Ali

Do they not think for themselves that God did not create the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them without reason and a determined purpose? But many men reject the meeting with their Lord.

اَوَلَمْ يَسِيْرُوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَۃُ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِہِمْ۝۰ۭ كَانُوْۗا اَشَدَّ مِنْہُمْ قُوَّۃً وَّاَثَارُوا الْاَرْضَ وَعَمَــرُوْہَاۗ اَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَــرُوْہَا وَجَاۗءَتْہُمْ رُسُلُہُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ۝۰ۭ فَمَا كَانَ اللہُ لِيَظْلِمَہُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْۗا اَنْفُسَہُمْ يَظْلِمُوْنَ۝۹ۭ
Awalam yaseeroo fee alardi fayanthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihim kanoo ashadda minhum quwwatan waatharoo alarda waAAamarooha akthara mimma AAamarooha wajaathum rusuluhum bialbayyinati fama kana Allahu liyathlimahum walakin kanoo anfusahum yathlimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Have they not travelled on the earth and seen how the others before them had met their end? They were far more powerful than them, furrowed the earth and colonised it far more than they; and their apostles came to them with visible signs. It was surely not for God to wrong them, they wronged themselves.

9

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَاقِبَۃَ الَّذِيْنَ اَسَاۗءُوا السُّوْۗاٰۗى اَنْ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللہِ وَكَانُوْا بِہَا يَسْتَہْزِءُوْنَ۝۱۰ۧ
Thumma kana AAaqibata allatheena asaoo alssooa an kaththaboo biayati Allahi wakanoo biha yastahzioona

English

Ahmed Ali

Therefore evil was the end of those who did evil, for they denied the signs of God and made fun of them.
