وَمَآ And not أَرْسَلْنَا We sent مِن before you قَبْلِكَ before you إِلَّا but رِجَالًۭا men نُّوحِىٓ We revealed إِلَيْهِم to them مِّنْ from (among) أَهْلِ (the) people ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ۗ (of) the townships أَفَلَمْ So have not يَسِيرُوا۟ they traveled فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth فَيَنظُرُوا۟ and seen كَيْفَ how كَانَ was عَـٰقِبَةُ (the) end ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who مِن (were) before them قَبْلِهِمْ ۗ (were) before them وَلَدَارُ And surely the home ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ (of) the Hereafter خَيْرٌۭ (is) best لِّلَّذِينَ for those who ٱتَّقَوْا۟ ۗ fear Allah أَفَلَا Then will not تَعْقِلُونَ you use reason ١٠٩

And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. So have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allāh; then will you not reason?
