The Holy Quran 38:3 — Surah Sad

Arabic text

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

Translation

(The Kuffaar should rather take a lesson from the punishment that came to previous nations of Kuffaar.) How many were the nations that We destroyed before them! Those people cried out (for help when punishment came), but it was not the time for escape. (No help reached them and they were all destroyed.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

كثيرًا من الأمم أهلكناها قبل هؤلاء المشركين، فاستغاثوا حين جاءهم العذاب ونادوا بالتوبة، وليس الوقت وقت قَبول توبة، ولا وقت فرار وخلاص مما أصابهم.
