يَسِيرُواْ

فِي

ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

فَيَنظُرُواْ

كَيۡفَ

كَانَ

عَٰقِبَةُ

ٱلَّذِينَ

مِن

قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ

كَانُوٓاْ

أَشَدَّ

مِنۡهُمۡ

قُوَّةٗ

وَأَثَارُواْ

ٱلۡأَرۡضَ

وَعَمَرُوهَآ

أَكۡثَرَ

مِمَّا

عَمَرُوهَا

وَجَآءَتۡهُمۡ

رُسُلُهُم

بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِۖ

فَمَا

كَانَ

ٱللَّهُ

لِيَظۡلِمَهُمۡ

وَلَٰكِن

كَانُوٓاْ

أَنفُسَهُمۡ

يَظۡلِمُونَ

٩

Allah would have never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
