The Holy Quran 19:74 — Surah Maryam

Arabic text

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَـٰثًا وَرِءْيًا

Translation

(Allaah replies to this assumption by telling them,) How many generations did We destroy before them, who were better off than them in terms of resources and appearance? (Their great wealth and resources meant nothing to Allaah. Neither were they beloved to Allaah, nor were they saved from His punishment.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وكثيرًا أهلكنا قبل كفار قومك - أيها الرسول - من الأمم كانوا أحسن متاعًا منهم وأجمل منظرًا.
