ٱلْحِجْر : ٢٤

  • وَلَقَدۡ And verily
  • عَلِمۡنَا We know
  • ٱلۡمُسۡتَقۡدِمِينَ the preceding ones
  • مِنكُمۡ among you
  • وَلَقَدۡ and verily
  • عَلِمۡنَا We know
  • ٱلۡمُسۡتَـٔۡخِرِينَ the later ones
And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].
And verily We know the predecessors among you, that is, those creatures from Adam who have already passed, and verily We know the successors, those who will come afterwards, until the Day of Resurrection.
