Kwani hawatembei katika ardhi wakaona jinsi ulivyo kuwa mwisho wa walio kuwa (40:21)

﴿۞ أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا هُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَآثَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ﴾
[ غافر: 21]

Kwani hawatembei katika ardhi wakaona jinsi ulivyo kuwa mwisho wa walio kuwa kabla yao? Hao walikuwa wamewazidi hawa kwa nguvu na athari katika nchi. Na Mwenyezi Mungu aliwatia mkononi kwa sababu ya madhambi yao. Na wala hapakuwa wa kuwalinda na Mwenyezi Mungu.

Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in impression on the land, but Allah seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allah any protector.
