ٱلْحَمْدُ (All) the praises and thanks لِلَّهِ (be) to Allah ٱلَّذِى the One Who خَلَقَ created ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضَ and the earth وَجَعَلَ and made ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ the darkness[es] وَٱلنُّورَ ۖ and the light ثُمَّ Then ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved بِرَبِّهِمْ in their Lord يَعْدِلُونَ equate others with Him ١

[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light. Then those who disbelieve equate [others] with their Lord.

أَلَمْ Did not يَرَوْا۟ they see كَمْ how many أَهْلَكْنَا We destroyed مِن from قَبْلِهِم before them مِّن of قَرْنٍۢ generations مَّكَّنَّـٰهُمْ We had established them فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth مَا what لَمْ not نُمَكِّن We (have) established لَّكُمْ for you وَأَرْسَلْنَا And We sent ٱلسَّمَآءَ (rain from) the sky عَلَيْهِم upon them مِّدْرَارًۭا showering abundantly وَجَعَلْنَا and We made ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرَ the rivers تَجْرِى flow مِن from تَحْتِهِمْ underneath them فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم Then We destroyed them بِذُنُوبِهِمْ for their sins وَأَنشَأْنَا and We raised مِنۢ from بَعْدِهِمْ after them قَرْنًا generations ءَاخَرِينَ other ٦

Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them which We had established upon the earth as We have not established you? And We sent [rain from] the sky upon them in showers and made rivers flow beneath them; then We destroyed them for their sins and brought forth after them a generation of others.

And if We had made him [i.e., the messenger] an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves [i.e., confusion and doubt].
