فلم يك ينفعهم ايمانهم لما راوا باسنا سنت الله التي قد خلت في عباده وخسر هنالك الكافرون

But their professing the Faith When they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going To profit them. (Such has been) God's way Of dealing with His servants (From the most ancient times). And even thus did The rejecters of God Perish (utterly)!
