Al-Quran 21:11 - Surah Al-Anbiya Ayah #11 - English Translation

21:10

لَقَدْ أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَابًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

We have certainly sent down to you a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?

21:11

وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنْشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ

And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people.

21:12

فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بَأْسَنَا إِذَا هُمْ مِنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ

And when they [i.e., its inhabitants] perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

21:13

لَا تَرْكُضُوا وَارْجِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَا أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَاكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْأَلُونَ

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."

21:14

قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ

They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
