آيا آنها روی زمين سير نكردند تا ببينند عاقبت كسانی كه پيش از آنان بودند چگونه بود؟! آنها در قدرت و ايجاد آثار مهمّ در زمين از اينها برتر بودند؛ ولی خداوند ايشان را به گناهانشان گرفت، و در برابر عذاب او مدافعی نداشتند!
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in impression on the land, but Allah seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allah any protector.
