37. Safat · verses 71–74

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Walaqad dalla qablahum aktharu alawwaleena

And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray;-

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

Walaqad arsalna feehim munthireena

But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them;-

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

Faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu almunthareena

Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not),-

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

Except the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah.
