ٱلنَّمْل : ١٤

  • وَجَحَدُواْ And they rejected
  • بِهَا them
  • وَٱسۡتَيۡقَنَتۡهَآ though were convinced with them (signs)
  • أَنفُسُهُمۡ themselves
  • ظُلۡمٗا (out of) injustice
  • وَعُلُوّٗاۚ and haughtiness
  • فَٱنظُرۡ So see
  • كَيۡفَ how
  • كَانَ was
  • عَٰقِبَةُ (the) end
  • ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ (of) the corrupters
And they rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
And they denied them, they did not affirm them, though, in reality, their souls had been convinced, in other words, [though] they were certain that these [signs] were from God, wrongfully and arrogantly, in defiance of believing in what Moses had brought ([these two adverbs] refer back to [the cause of] their denial). So behold, O Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, how was the sequel for the agents of corruption, [a sequel] which you know: they were destroyed.
