أَوَلَمْ یَتَفَکَّرُوا فِی أَنفُسِهِمْ مَا خَلَقَ اللهُ السَّمَـوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضَ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَجَل مُسَمًّى وَإِنَّ کَثِیراً مِنَ النَّاسِ بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّهِمْ لَکَافِرُونَ(( 8 ))

8- DO THEY NOT THINK WITHIN THEMSELVES THAT, ALLAH CREATED NOT THE HEAVENS AND EARTH, AND WHATEVER IS BETWEEN THEM EXCEPT IN RIGHTNESS, AND FOR AN APPOINTED TERM, AND VERILY A GREAT MANY OF PEOPLE DENY VISITING THEIR LORD.

أَوَلَمْ یَسِیرُوا فِی الاَْرْضِ فَیَنظُرُوا کَیْفَ کَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِینَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ کَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَثَارُوا الاَْرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَا أَکْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنَاتِ فَمَا کَانَ اللهُ لِیَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَکِنْ کَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُونَ(( 9 ))

9- DO THEY NOT TRAVEL IN THE EARTH AND SEE HOW WAS THE END OF THOSE WHO WERE BEFORE THEM?

      THEY WERE SUPERIOR TO THEM IN MIGHT, AND PLOUGHED UP THE EARTH, AND FLOURSHED IT MORE THAN THEM.

      AND THEIR MESSENGERS CAME TO THEM WITH CLEAR SIGNS, AND ALLAH WAS NOT TO OPPRESS THEM, BUT THEY THEMSELVES WERE OPPRESSING.

ثُمَّ کَانَ عَاقِبَةَ الَّذِینَ أَسَاءُوا السُّوأَى أَنْ کَذَّبُوا بِآیَاتِ اللهِ وَکَانُوا بِهَا یَسْتَهْزِئُونَ(( 10 ))

10- THEN THE END OF THOSE WHO DID EVIL DEEDS, WAS THAT THEY BELIED THE SIGNS OF ALLAH, AND WERE MOCKING AT THEM.
