غَافِر : ٣١

  • مِثۡلَ Like
  • دَأۡبِ (the) plight
  • قَوۡمِ (of the) people
  • نُوحٖ (of) Nuh
  • وَعَادٖ and Aad
  • وَثَمُودَ and Thamud
  • وَٱلَّذِينَ and those
  • مِنۢ after them
  • بَعۡدِهِمۡۚ after them
  • وَمَا does not
  • ٱللَّهُ Allah
  • يُرِيدُ want
  • ظُلۡمٗا injustice
  • لِّلۡعِبَادِ for (His) slaves
Like the custom of the people of Noah and of ʿAad and Thamūd and those after them. And Allāh wants no injustice for [His] servants.
like the case of the people of Noah, and 'aad, and Thamood, and those [who came] after them (mithla, 'like', substitutes for the previous mithla, 'like') in other words, the same requital as was customarily dealt to those who disbelieved before you, of their being chastised in this world, and God does not desire to wrong [any of] His servants.
