Surah Maryam · Ayah 74

“How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!”

“But how many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye?”

“And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?”

“তাদের পূর্বে কত মানব গোষ্ঠীকে আমি বিনাশ করেছি, তারা তাদের চাইতে সম্পদে ও জাঁক-জমকে শ্রেষ্ঠ ছিল।”

“اور ہم نے ان سے پہلے بہت سی اُمتیں ہلاک کردیں۔ وہ لوگ (ان سے) ٹھاٹھ اور نمود میں کہیں اچھے تھے”
