We have destroyed many peoples like you (in wrongdoing, some of whose stories We have recounted and some not). Then, is there any that will remember and take heed (and so believe in God and follow His Religion)
Indeed, We destroyed many of your kinds... So, is there not anyone who will ponder on this?
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
So, pause you people to think of what We did to your ancestors and to people of your sort who denied their Messengers and treated them as one who passes himself off as someone other than he is; and so, is there any who will open his heart's ears and his mind's eyes
