ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يَسْتَحِبُّونَ love more ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world عَلَى than ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the Hereafter وَيَصُدُّونَ and hinder عَن from سَبِيلِ (the) Path ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَيَبْغُونَهَا and seek in it عِوَجًا ۚ crookedness أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ those فِى [in] ضَلَـٰلٍۭ (are) far astray بَعِيدٍۢ (are) far astray ٣

وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said مُوسَىٰ Musa لِقَوْمِهِ to his people ٱذْكُرُوا۟ Remember نِعْمَةَ (the) Favor of Allah ٱللَّهِ (the) Favor of Allah عَلَيْكُمْ upon you إِذْ when أَنجَىٰكُم He saved you مِّنْ from ءَالِ (the) people فِرْعَوْنَ (of) Firaun يَسُومُونَكُمْ they were afflicting you سُوٓءَ (with) evil ٱلْعَذَابِ torment وَيُذَبِّحُونَ and were slaughtering أَبْنَآءَكُمْ your sons وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ and letting live نِسَآءَكُمْ ۚ your women وَفِى And in ذَٰلِكُم that بَلَآءٌۭ (was) a trial مِّن from رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord عَظِيمٌۭ great ٦

أَلَمْ Has not يَأْتِكُمْ come to you نَبَؤُا۟ (the) news ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who مِن (were) before you قَبْلِكُمْ (were) before you قَوْمِ the people نُوحٍۢ of Nuh وَعَادٍۢ and Aad وَثَمُودَ ۛ and Thamud وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who مِنۢ (were) after them بَعْدِهِمْ ۛ (were) after them لَا None يَعْلَمُهُمْ knows them إِلَّا except ٱللَّهُ ۚ Allah جَآءَتْهُمْ Came to them رُسُلُهُم their Messengers بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with clear proofs فَرَدُّوٓا۟ but they returned أَيْدِيَهُمْ their hands فِىٓ in أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ their mouths وَقَالُوٓا۟ and they said إِنَّا Indeed we كَفَرْنَا [we] disbelieve بِمَآ in what أُرْسِلْتُم you have been sent بِهِۦ with [it] وَإِنَّا and indeed, we لَفِى (are) surely in شَكٍّۢ doubt مِّمَّا about what تَدْعُونَنَآ you invite us إِلَيْهِ to it مُرِيبٍۢ suspicious ٩

Has there not reached you the news of those before you - the people of Noah and ʿAad and Thamūd and those after them? No one knows them [i.e., their number] but Allāh.
