سُوْرَةُ النَّمْلِ

Surah An-Naml (27) — Ayah 14

The Ant · Meccan · Juz 19 · Page 378

وَجَحَدُوا۟ بِهَا وَٱسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا ۚ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿14﴾
And they belied them (those Ayât) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ayât ) are from Allâh, and Mûsâ (Moses) is the Messenger of Allâh in truth, but they disliked to obey Mûsâ (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message of Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the Mufsidûn (disbelievers, disobedient to Allâh, evil-doers and liars.).
وَجَحَدُوا۟ wajaḥadū And they rejected
بِهَا bihā them
وَٱسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ wa-is'tayqanathā though were convinced with them (signs)
أَنفُسُهُمْ anfusuhum themselves
ظُلْمًۭا ẓul'man (out of) injustice
وَعُلُوًّۭا ۚ waʿuluwwan and haughtiness
فَٱنظُرْ fa-unẓur So see
كَيْفَ kayfa how
كَانَ kāna was
عَـٰقِبَةُ ʿāqibatu (the) end
ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ l-muf'sidīna (of) the corrupters
