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

EnglishSaheeh International
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.

அவர்கள் பூமியில் சுற்றிப் பயணம் செய்து, அவர்களுக்கு முன்னால் இருந்தவர்களின் முடிவு என்னவாயிற்று என்பதைப் பார்க்கவில்லையா? அவர்கள் இவர்களைவிட வலிமை மிக்கவர்களாக இருந்தார்கள்; அவர்களும் பூமியில் விவசாயம் செய்தார்கள். இன்னும் இவர்கள் அதை (உழுது) பண்படுத்தியதை விட அவர்கள் அதை அதிகமாகவே (உழுது) பண்படுத்தியிருந்தார்கள். அவர்களிடமும் அவர்களுக்கான (இறை) தூதர்கள் தெளிவான அத்தாட்சிகளைக் கொண்டு வந்தார்கள்; அல்லாஹ் அவர்களுக்கு ஒருபோதும் அநியாயம் செய்யவில்லை. ஆனால், அவர்கள் தங்களுக்குத் தாங்களே அநியாயம் செய்து கொண்டார்கள்.

තවද මහපොළොවේ සැරිසරා ඔවුනට පෙර සිටියවුන්ගේ අවසානය කෙසේ වී දැ? යි ඔවුහු නො බැලුවෝ ද? ඔවුහු මොවුනට වඩා ශක්තියෙන් බලවත් වූවෝ ය. ඔවුන් මහපොළොවේ අස්වද්දා, මොවුන් පාලනය කළ දෑට වඩා බලවත් ලෙස ඔවුහු එය පරිපාලනය කළෝ ය. තවද ඔවුන් වෙත ඔවුන්ගේ ධර්ම දූතවරු පැහැදිලි සාධක සමඟ පැමිණියහ. ඔවුනට අපරාධ කිරීමට අල්ලාහ්ට නො වීය. එනමුත් ඔවුහු ඔවුනට ම අපරාධ කරගන්නන් වූවෝ ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
کیا انہوں نے زمین پر چل پھر کر یہ نہیں دیکھا کہ ان سے پہلے لوگوں کا انجام کیسا (برا) ہوا؟ وه ان سے بہت زیاده توانا (اور طاقتور) تھے اور انہوں نے (بھی) زمین بوئی جوتی تھی اور ان سے زیاده آباد کی تھی اور ان کے پاس ان کے رسول روشن دﻻئل لے کر آئے تھے۔ یہ تو ناممکن تھا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ ان پر ﻇلم کرتا لیکن (دراصل) وه خود اپنی جانوں پر ﻇلم کرتے تھے.

かれら(マッカの多神教徒)は,地上を旅してかれら以前の者の最後が如何であったかを,観察しないのか。かれら(昔の人)は,かれらよりも力において優れ,地を掘り起こし(て耕作し ),またかれらよりも栄えていた。そして使徒たちは明証を持ってかれらのところに来た。アッ ラーがかれらを損ったのではない。かれらが自ら自分を損ったのである。
ChineseMa Jian
难道他们没有在大地上旅行而观察前人的结局是怎样的吗?前人比他们努力更大,前人于地方的恳植和建设,胜过他们。他们族中的使者来临他们,真主不致亏枉他们,但他们亏枉了自己,

Tafsir of 30:9

فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُواْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً (9. cont - and see what was the end of those before them They were superior to them in strength, ) meaning, `the nations of the past who came before you were stronger than you to whom Muhammad ﷺ has been sent; they had more wealth and more sons. You have not been given one-tenth of what they were given. They stayed longer in this world than you will stay. They were more civilized than you and were more prosperous in the land than you.' Yet despite all that, when their Messengers came to them with clear signs, while they were enjoying their life of luxury, Allah punished them for their sins and they had no one who could protect them from Allah. Their wealth and sons could not protect them from the wrath of Allah in the slightest, and Allah was not at all unjust towards them when He sent His punishment upon them. وَلَكِن كَانُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ (9. cont - but they used to wrong themselves.) They brought destruction upon themselves, when they rejected and mocked the signs of Allah. All of this only happened because of their previous sins and their rejection (of the Messengers).…
