And when

said

a community

among them

Why

(do) you preach

a people

(whom) Allah

(is going to) destroy them

or

punish them

(with) a punishment

severe

They said

To be absolved

before

your Lord

and that they may

become righteous

So when

they forgot

what

they had been reminded

with [it]

We saved

those who

forbade

[from]

the evil

and We seized

those who

wronged

with a punishment

wretched

because

they were

defiantly disobeying

So when

they exceeded all bounds

about

what

they were forbidden

from it

We said

to them

Be

apes

despised

And when

declared

your Lord

that He would surely send

upon them

till

(the) Day

(of) the Resurrection

(those) who

would afflict them

(with) a grievous

[the] punishment

Indeed

your Lord

(is) surely swift

(in) the retribution

but indeed He

(is) surely Oft-Forgiving

Most Merciful

And We divided them

in

the earth

(as) nations

Among them

(are) the righteous

and among them

(are) other than

that

And We tested them

with the good

and the bad

so that they may

return

Then succeeded

from

after them

successors

(who) inherited

the Book

taking

goods

(of) this

the lower (life)

and they say

It will be forgiven

for us

And if

comes to them

goods

similar to it

they will take it

Was not

taken

on them

Covenant

(of) the Book

that

not

they will say

about

Allah

except

the truth

while they studied

what

(is) in it

And the home

(of) the Hereafter

(is) better

for those who

fear Allah

So will not

you use intellect

And those who

hold fast

to the Book

and establish

the prayer

indeed We

(will) not

[We] let go waste

(the) reward

(of) the reformers
