Ghafir 40:82 افلم يسيروا في الارض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم كانوا اكثر منهم واشد قوة واثارا في الارض فما اغنى عنهم ما كانوا يكسبون ٨٢

40:82
أَفَلَمۡ
يَسِيرُواْ
فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
فَيَنظُرُواْ
كَيۡفَ
كَانَ
عَٰقِبَةُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ
كَانُوٓاْ
أَكۡثَرَ
مِنۡهُمۡ
وَأَشَدَّ
قُوَّةٗ
وَءَاثَارٗا
فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
فَمَآ
أَغۡنَىٰ
عَنۡهُم
مَّا
كَانُواْ
يَكۡسِبُونَ

Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the consequence for those before them? They were more numerous than these, and mightier in power and (in the) traces (which they left behind them) in the earth. But all that they used to earn availed them not.

Chapter 40, Page 476, Juz 24

79. Allah it is Who hath appointed for you cattle, that ye may ride on some of them, and eat of some - 80. (Many) benefits ye have from them - and that ye may satisfy by their means a need that is in your breasts, and may be borne upon them as upon the ship. 81. And He showeth you His tokens. Which, then, of the tokens of Allah do ye deny? 82. Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the consequence for those before them? They were more numerous than these, and mightier in power and (in the) traces (which they left behind them) in the earth. But all that they used to earn availed them not. 83. And when their messengers brought them clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) they exulted in the knowledge they (themselves) possessed. And that which they were wont to mock befell them. 84. Then, when they saw Our doom, they said: We believe in Allah only and reject (all) that we used to associate (with Him). 85. But their faith could not avail them when they saw Our doom. This is Allah's law which hath ever taken course for His bondmen. And then the disbelievers will be ruined.
