ٱلزُّخْرُف : ٤٨

  • وَمَا And not
  • نُرِيهِم We showed them
  • مِّنۡ of
  • ءَايَةٍ a Sign
  • إِلَّا but
  • هِيَ it
  • أَكۡبَرُ (was) greater
  • مِنۡ than
  • أُخۡتِهَاۖ its sister
  • وَأَخَذۡنَٰهُم and We seized them
  • بِٱلۡعَذَابِ with the punishment
  • لَعَلَّهُمۡ so that they may
  • يَرۡجِعُونَ return
And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].
And We never showed them a sign, from among the signs of chastisement, such as the flood, which was when the waters [of the Nile] penetrated their dwellings and for seven days rose as high as their throats as they sat, or [the chastisement of] the locusts, but it was greater than the one before it, the one immediately preceding it. And We seized them with chastisement, that perhaps they might recant, their disbelief.
