أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَءَاثَارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ۝٢١

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 Allāh seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allāh any protector.

Dan apakah mereka tidak mengadakan perjalanan di bumi, lalu memperhatikan bagaimana kesudahan orang-orang yang sebelum mereka?

Tidakkah mereka telah berjalan dan mengembara di muka bumi, dengan itu tidakkah mereka memerhatikan bagaimana kesudahan orang-orang yang terdahulu dari mereka? Orang-orang itu adalah orang-orang yang lebih dari mereka tentang kekuatan tenaga dan tentang kesan-kesan usaha pembangunan di muka bumi. Maka sekalipun demikian, Allah binasakan mereka dengan sebab dosa-dosa mereka, dan tiadalah bagi mereka sesiapapun yang dapat menyelamatkan mereka dari azab Allah.

أو لم يَسِرْ هؤلاء المكذبون برسالتك -أيها الرسول- في الأرض، فينظروا كيف كان خاتمة الأمم السابقة قبلهم؟ كانوا أشد منهم بطشاً، وأبقى في الأرض آثاراً، فلم تنفعهم شدة قواهم وعِظَم أجسامهم، فأخذهم الله بعقوبته؛ بسبب كفرهم واكتسابهم الآثام، وما كان لهم من عذاب الله من واق يقيهم منه، فيدفعه عنهم.
