ٱلتَّوْبَة : ٦٩

  • كَٱلَّذِينَ Like those
  • مِن before you
  • قَبۡلِكُمۡ before you
  • كَانُوٓاْ they were
  • أَشَدَّ mightier
  • مِنكُمۡ than you
  • قُوَّةٗ (in) strength
  • وَأَكۡثَرَ and more abundant
  • أَمۡوَٰلٗا (in) wealth
  • وَأَوۡلَٰدٗا and children
  • فَٱسۡتَمۡتَعُواْ So they enjoyed
  • بِخَلَٰقِهِمۡ their portion
  • فَٱسۡتَمۡتَعۡتُم and you have enjoyed
  • بِخَلَٰقِكُمۡ your portion
  • كَمَا like
  • ٱسۡتَمۡتَعَ enjoyed
  • ٱلَّذِينَ those
  • مِن before you
  • قَبۡلِكُم before you
  • بِخَلَٰقِهِمۡ their portion
  • وَخُضۡتُمۡ and you indulge (in idle talk)
  • كَٱلَّذِي like the one who
  • خَاضُوٓاْۚ indulges (in idle talk)
  • أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ Those
  • حَبِطَتۡ worthless
  • أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ (are) their deeds
  • فِي in
  • ٱلدُّنۡيَا the world
  • وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ and (in) the Hereafter
  • وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ And those
  • هُمُ they
  • ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ (are) the losers
[You disbelievers are] like those before you; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their portion [of worldly enjoyment], and you have enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion, and you have engaged [in vanities] like that in which they engaged. [It is] those whose deeds have become worthless in this world and in the Hereafter, and it is they who are the losers.
You, O hypocrites, are, like those before you, who were far mightier than you, and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their share, their lot in this world. So you enjoy, O hypocrites, your share, just as those before you enjoyed their share, and you indulge [in vain talk], in falsehood and defamation of the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him, just as they indulged [in vain talk]. Those, their works have become invalid in this world and in the Hereafter; and those, they indeed are the losers.
