اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُمٰتِ وَالنُّوۡرَ ؕ ثُمَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا بِرَبِّهِمۡ يَعۡدِلُوۡنَ‏ ١

All praise is for Allah alone, Who created the heavens and the earth, and brought into being light and darkness, and yet those who have rejected the call of the Truth ascribe others to be equals to their Lord.

Have they not seen how many a people We have destroyed before them? People whom We had made more powerful in the earth than you are and upon them We showered from the heavens abundant rains, and at whose feet We caused the rivers to flow? And then (when they behaved ungratefully) We destroyed them for their sins, and raised other peoples in their place.

Unko humne zameen mein woh iqtedar baksha tha jo tumhein nahin baksha hai. Unpar humne aasman se khoob baarishein barsayi aur unke nichey nehrein baha di, (magar jab unhon ne kufraan e niyamat kiya to) aakhir e kaar humne unke gunahon ki padash mein unhein tabaah kardiya aur unki jagah dusre daur ki qaumon ko uthaya
