37. Safat · verses 71–78

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

Wanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity,

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

WajaAAalna thurriyyatahu humu albaqeena

And made his progeny to endure (on this earth);

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:
