The Holy Quran 6:11 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Translation

Say, "Travel on the earth and (by seeing the ruins of previous nations,) see what was the outcome (the ruins) of those who rejected (the message of their Prophets. In this manner you will learn a lesson from their experiences and will not repeat their mistakes)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
