We Destroyed Your Kind
وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشۡيَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ ٥١
And verily We have destroyed your fellows; but is there any that remembereth.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And We have already destroyed your kinds; so is there anyone who will remember?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, if you reflected you would realise you too are about to depart; but where is the one who reflects?
Reflect
Make good use of today, knowing you will depart.
