Surah 17. Al-Israa, Ayah 17
| وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِنْ بَعْدِ نُوحٍ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- kam ahlaknaa min al- quron min bacdi noh. wa- kafaa bi- rabb -ka bi- dhunob cibaad -hi khaber(an) bas.er(an) |
| Pickthall | : | How many generations have we destroyed since Noah! And Allah sufficeth as knower and Beholder of the sins of His slaves. |
| Asad | : | And how many a generation have We [thus] destroyed after [the time of] Noah! For, none has the like of thy Sustainer's awareness and insight into His creatures' sins. |
| Malik | : | How many generations have We destroyed since Nuh's time? Sufficient is your Rabb to note and see the sins of His servants. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? And enough is thy Lord to note and see the sins of His servants. 2194 2195 |
Note - 2194Noah's Flood is taken as a new starting point in history.
But even after that hundreds of empires, towns, and
generations have perished for their wickedness.
|
Note - 2195Let not the wicked think, because they are given a lease
of life and luxury for a time, that their wickedness has
escaped notice. Allah notes and sees all things, both
open and secret. He knows the hidden motives and thoughts
of men, and He has no need of any other evidence. His
knowledge and sight are all-sufficient.
