كَالَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْكُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَالًا وَأَوْلَادًا فَاسْتَمْتَعُوا بِخَلَاقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِخَلَاقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِخَلَاقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِي خَاضُوا أُولَئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ ﴿۶۹﴾ أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَصْحَابِ مَدْيَنَ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَاتِ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴿۷۰﴾

﴾69﴿ You are like those who came before you, who were greater than you in strength and more numerous in wealth and children So they benefited from their share. So you benefited from your share, just as those before you benefited from their share And you are busy like those who were busy. These people are ruined by their deeds in this world and the Hereafter. And this group of them is the losers
﴾70﴿ Has not the news come to them of those who were before them, the people of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud, and the people of Abraham, and the people of Midian, And the inhabitants of the destroyed villages (from the people of Lot, peace be upon him) Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but it was not Allah Almighty who would wrong them, but they were wronging themselves
