30:9

أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَثَارُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَآ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Translation

EN

Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs). (Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not Allah Who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Have they not travelled through the land and seen how their predecessors met their end? They were mightier than them: they cultivated the earth more and built more upon it. Their own mes-sengers also came to them with clear signs: God did not wrong them; they wronged themselves.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger than these in power, and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have built. Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? They were greater than them in power, and they plowed [or excavated] the earth and built it up more than they [i.e., the Makkans] have built it up, and their messengers came to them with clear evidences. And Allāh would not ever have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.

Yeryüzünde dolaşıp, kendilerinden önce geçmiş kimselerin sonlarının nasıl olduğuna bakmazlar mı? Ki onlar kendilerinden daha kuvvetli idiler, yeryüzünü kazıp alt üst ederek onlardan çok imar etmiş kimseydiler ve onlara belgelerle peygamberler gelmişti. Böylece Allah onlara zulmetmiyor, onlar kendilerine zulmediyorlardı.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Onlar, yeryüzünde gezmediler mi ki, kendilerinden öncekilerin sonu nasıl olmuş baksınlar? Onlar, kendilerinden daha güçlüydüler. Toprağı sürmüşler ve onu, bunların imar ettiklerinden daha çok imar etmişlerdi. Onlara da peygamberleri delillerle gelmişlerdi. Demek Allah onlara zulmetmiyordu. Fakat onlar, kendilerine zulmediyorlardı.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Öncekilerin sonunun nasıl olduğunu görmek için yeryüzünde hiç mi dolaşmadılar? Onlar kendilerinden daha güçlüydüler; yeri kazıp altüst etmiş, onu (toprağı) bunların imar ettiklerinden daha çok imar etmişlerdi. Elçileri de onlara apaçık deliller getirmişti. Allah onlara haksızlık edecek değildi fakat onlar kendi kendilerine yazık etmekteydiler.

أولم يَسِرْ هؤلاء المكذبون بالله الغافلون عن الآخرة في الأرض سَيْرَ تأمل واعتبار، فيشاهدوا كيف كان جزاء الأمم الذين كذَّبوا برسل الله كعاد وثمود؟ وقد كانوا أقوى منهم أجسامًا، وأقدر على التمتع بالحياة حيث حرثوا الأرض وزرعوها، وبنَوْا القصور وسكنوها، فعَمَروا دنياهم أكثر مما عَمَر أهل "مكة" دنياهم، فلم تنفعهم عِمارتهم ولا طول مدتهم، وجاءتهم رسلهم بالحجج الظاهرة والبراهين الساطعة، فكذَّبوهم فأهلكهم الله، ولم يظلمهم الله بذلك الإهلاك، وإنما ظلموا أنفسهم بالشرك والعصيان.
