The Holy Quran 34:45 — Surah Saba

Arabic text

وَكَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا بَلَغُوا۟ مِعْشَارَ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ رُسُلِى ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

Translation

(However, the rejection of the Mushrikeen of Makkah is nothing new because) Those before them (also) rejected (their Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام). (The Mushrikeen of Makkah regarded their wealth and honour as a source of pride to justify their opposition to Rasulullaah ﷺ, whom they regarded as an ordinary person. Allaah says that) These people (the Mushrikeen of Makkah pride themselves for their wealth when they) cannot even reach a tenth of what We gave them (the nations of the past), yet (despite their meagre resources) they (dare to) reject My Rusul. How (grievous) will be My retribution (My punishment in both worlds for such insolence)!

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وكذَّب الذين من قبلهم كعاد وثمود رسلنا، وما بلغ أهل «مكة» عُشرَ ما آتينا الأمم السابقة من القوة، وكثرة المال، وطول العمر وغير ذلك من النعم، فكذبوا رسلي فيما جاؤوهم به فأهلكناهم، فانظر -أيها الرسول- كيف كان إنكاري عليهم وعقوبتي إياهم؟
