[ النحل: 26]
16:26 Those before them had already plotted, but Allah came at their building from the foundations, so the roof fell upon them from above them, and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishThe disbelievers before these people devised plots against their Messengers.
Allah then destroyed their buildings from the foundations and as a result their roofs fell on them from above.
The punishment came to them from where they did not expect as they had expected their buildings to protect them but they were destroyed by them.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Those before them indeed plotted, but Allah struck at the foundation of their building, and then the roof fell down upon them, from above them, and the torment overtook them from directions they did not perceive.

Potent was the cunning of their predecessors that it justified Allahs retributive punishment. He struck them at the roots of their foundation and their roofs collapsed over their heads and they were unexpectedly reduced to a useless form

(16:26) Many of those who have gone before them also contrived such cunning devices to defeat the Truth, but behold! Allah smote the edifice of their evil designs at its foundations and its roof fell down upon their heads from above them, and the scourge overtook them from the direction they little dreamed that it would come.

اِن سے پہلے بھی بہت سے لوگ (حق کو نیچا دکھانے کے لیے) ایسی ہی مکاریاں کر چکے ہیں، تو دیکھ لو کہ اللہ نے اُن کے مکر کی عمارت جڑ سے اکھاڑ پھینکی اور اس کی چھت اوپر سے ان کے سر پر آ رہی اور ایسے رخ سے ان پر عذاب آیا جدھر سے اس کے آنے کا اُن کو گمان تک نہ تھا
