Aya 42
42
قُل سيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَانظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلُ ۚ كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُشرِكينَ

Yusuf Ali

Say: “Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before (you): Most of them worshipped1 others besides God.”
  • If you contemplate history and past experience (including spiritual experience), you will find that evil and corruption tended to destroy themselves, because they had false idols for worship, false standards of conduct, and false goals of desire.
