ٱلنَّمْل : ٥٢

  • فَتِلۡكَ So these
  • بُيُوتُهُمۡ (are) their houses
  • خَاوِيَةَۢ ruined
  • بِمَا because
  • ظَلَمُوٓاْۚ they wronged
  • إِنَّ Indeed
  • فِي in
  • ذَٰلِكَ that
  • لَأٓيَةٗ surely is a sign
  • لِّقَوۡمٖ for a people
  • يَعۡلَمُونَ who know
So those are their houses, desolate because of the wrong they had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know.
So those then are their houses [lying] deserted (khaawiyatan is in the accusative because it is a circumstantial qualifier, the operator of which is the import of the demonstrative pronoun [tilka, 'those']) because of the evil which they did, that is, their disbelief. Surely in that there is a sign, a lesson, for a people who have knowledge, of Our power and are thus admonished.
