وما ارسلنا من قبلك الا رجالا نوحي اليهم من اهل القرى افلم يسيروا في الارض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم ولدار الاخرة خير للذين اتقوا افلا تعقلون

Nor did We send before thee (As apostles) any but men, Whom We did inspire,— (Men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel Through the earth, and see What was the end Of those before them? But the home of the Hereafter Is best, for those who do right. Will ye not then understand?
