comprehend and whose final sequel was not apparent to them.7 Likewise
had their predecessors rejected the truth, declaring it falsehood. Do observe,
then, what was the end of the wrong-doers.

الترجمة الإنجليزية - مركز رواد الترجمة
39.Yet the disbelievers do not respond to these challenges, but reject the Qur’ān before even thinking about it, without understanding it, and the punishment about which they have been warned has not yet come to them, although it is near!. In the same way, past communities rejected the truth, and Allah sent His punishment upon them. So reflect upon the end of these communities who rejected the truth, because they were destroyed by Allah.
الترجمة الإنجليزية للمختصر في تفسير القرآن الكريم
