And how many a generation We have destroyed before them, who were stronger in power than them, and (when Our Torment came) they ran for a refuge in the land! Could they find any place of refuge (for them to save themselves from destruction)?
And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape?
(50:36) How many a nation did We destroy before them that were stronger in prowess than these. They searched about the lands of the world. *46 But could they find a refuge? *47
*46) That is, "They were not only powerful and strong in their own land but had also made incursions into other lands and brought under their sway far off lands as well. "
*47) That is, "Could their power and might save them when the time appointed by Allah came for their seizure? And could they fmd shelter and refuge anywhere? Now, on what trust do you hope that you will get refuge somewhere in the world when you have rebelled against Allah ?"
