ولقد بعثنا في كل امة رسولا ان اعبدوا الله واجتنبوا الطاغوت فمنهم من هدى الله ومنهم من حقت عليه الضلالة فسيروا في الارض فانظروا كيف كان عاقبة المكذبين

For We assuredly sent Amongst every People an apostle, (With the Command), "Serve God, and eschew Evil": Of the people were some whom God guided, and some On whom Error became Inevitably (established). So travel Through the earth, and see What was the end of those Who denied (the Truth).
