Arabic Qur'an with English Translation
Chapter 40: Gafir
[78] We did aforetime send Messengers before
thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee,
and some whose story We have not related to thee. It was not
(possible) for any Messenger to bring a Sign except by the leave of
Allah: but when the Command of Allah issued, the matter was decided
in Truth and Justice, and there perished, there and then, those who
stood on Falsehoods.
[79] It is Allah Who made cattle for you, that ye
may use some for riding and some for food;
[80] And there are (other) advantages in them for
you (besides); that ye may through them attain to any need (there
may be) in your hearts; and on them and on ships ye are carried.
[81] And He shows you (always) His Signs; then
which of the Signs of Allah will ye deny?
[82] Do they not travel through the earth and see
what was the End of those before them? They were more numerous than
these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in
the land: yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them.
