ٱلذَّارِيَات : ٤٦

  • وَقَوۡمَ And (the) people
  • نُوحٖ (of) Nuh
  • مِّن before
  • قَبۡلُۖ before
  • إِنَّهُمۡ indeed, they
  • كَانُواْ were
  • قَوۡمٗا a people
  • فَٰسِقِينَ defiantly disobedient
And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.
And the people of Noah (read wa qawmi Noohin, as a supplement to Thamooda, in other words: 'in the destruction of these [two peoples] by what [destructive power] exists in the skies and the earth there is [also] a sign'; or read wa qawma Noohin, in other words, 'We also destroyed the people of Noah') aforetime, that is, before the destruction of those mentioned. Indeed they were an immoral lot.
