Surah 6. Al-An'am, Ayah 45
| فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ۚ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | fa- qut.ica daabir al- qawm 'alladhena z.alamo wa- al- h.amd li- 'allaah rabb al- caalamen |
| Pickthall | : | So of the people who did wrong the last remnant was cut off. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds! |
| Asad | : | and [in the end,] the last remnant of those folk who had been bent on evildoing was wiped out.35 For all praise is due to God, the Sustainer of all the worlds. |
| Malik | : | Thus We cut off the roots of the wrongdoers. All praises are due to Allah the Rabb of the worlds. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Of the wrong-doers the last remnant was cut off. Praise be to Allah the Cherisher of the worlds 863 |
Note - 35Lit., "cut off". The above passage illustrates a
phenomenon well known in history: namely, the inevitable
social and moral disintegration of communities which have
lost sight of spiritual truths.

Note - 863God's punishment of wrong-doers is a measure of justice,
to protect the true and righteous from their depredations
and maintain His righteous decrees. It is an aspect of
His character which is emphasised by the epithet
"Cherisher of the Worlds."
