And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. And they were not availed at all by their gods which they invoked other than Allah when there came the command of your Lord. And they did not increase them in other than ruin

So do not be in doubt, [O Muhammad], as to what these [polytheists] are worshipping. They worship not except as their fathers worshipped before. And indeed, We will give them their share undiminished

And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them. And indeed they are, concerning the Qur'an, in disquieting doubt

وَإِنَّAnd indeedكُلًّاto each [when]لَّمَّاto each [when]لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْsurely will pay them in fullرَبُّكَyour Lordأَعْمَٰلَهُمْtheir deedsإِنَّهُۥIndeed, Heبِمَاof whatيَعْمَلُونَthey doخَبِيرٌ(is) All-Aware﴿١١١﴾

So why were there not among the generations before you those of enduring discrimination forbidding corruption on earth - except a few of those We saved from among them? But those who wronged pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals
