(137) Many eras have passed before you. Go about, then, in the land and behold the end of those who rejected (the directives and commands of Allah), calling them lies. (138) This is a plain exposition for mankind, and a guidance and admonition for the God-fearing.

(139) Do not, then, lose heart or grieve: for you shall surely gain the upper hand if you are believers. (140) If you have suffered a wound the people opposed to you have suffered a similar wound.29 These are vicissitudes of time which We deal out in turn among people so that Allah might mark out those who truly believe ▶
