The Holy Quran 67:18 — Surah Al-Mulk

Arabic text

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

Translation

Verily those before them (present day Kuffaar) rejected (the message of their Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام), so how (devastating) was My punishment (when it arrived)? (The Kuffaar should learn a lesson from the destruction of past nations and mend their ways.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Take a lesson from earlier peoples: that is, take a lesson from what happened to Ad, Thamud and others. See! We disapproved of their doings, and how that disapproval came to be manifested in the form of punishment!
