Surah An-Nahl, verse 33

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿٣٣﴾

Without diacritics

هل ينظرون الا ان تاتيهم الملائكة او ياتي امر ربك كذلك فعل الذين من قبلهم وما ظلمهم الله ولكن كانوا انفسهم يظلمون

Do the (ungodly) wait until The angels come to them, Or there comes the Command Of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went Before them. But God Wronged them not: nay, They wronged their own souls.
