وَنَعمَةٍ كانوا فيها فاكِهينَ
And comfort wherein they were amused.
كَذٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَورَثناها قَومًا آخَرينَ
Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.
فَما بَكَت عَلَيهِمُ السَّماءُ وَالأَرضُ وَما كانوا مُنظَرينَ
And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
وَلَقَد نَجَّينا بَني إِسرائيلَ مِنَ العَذابِ المُهينِ
And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -
مِن فِرعَونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ عالِيًا مِنَ المُسرِفينَ
From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.
وَلَقَدِ اختَرناهُم عَلىٰ عِلمٍ عَلَى العالَمينَ
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
وَآتَيناهُم مِنَ الآياتِ ما فيهِ بَلاءٌ مُبينٌ
And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.
إِنَّ هـٰؤُلاءِ لَيَقولونَ
Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,
إِن هِيَ إِلّا مَوتَتُنَا الأولىٰ وَما نَحنُ بِمُنشَرينَ
"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
فَأتوا بِآبائِنا إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ
Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."
أَهُم خَيرٌ أَم قَومُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم ۚ أَهلَكناهُم ۖ إِنَّهُم كانوا مُجرِمينَ
Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.
