أَشَدَّ
مِنكُمْ
قُوَّةًۭ

٦٩
‘You are like those who lived before you: they were even stronger than you, with more wealth and children; they enjoyed their share in this life as you have enjoyed yours; like them, you have indulged in idle talk.’ Their deeds go to waste in this world and the next; it is they who will lose all in the life to come.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
