Al-Qasas 28:78 قال انما اوتيته على علم عندي اولم يعلم ان الله قد اهلك من قبله من القرون من هو اشد منه قوة واكثر جمعا ولا يسال عن ذنوبهم المجرمون ٧٨

28:78
قَالَ
إِنَّمَآ
أُوتِيتُهُۥ
عَلَىٰ
عِلۡمٍ
عِندِيٓۚ

أَنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
قَدۡ
أَهۡلَكَ
مِن
قَبۡلِهِۦ
مِنَ
ٱلۡقُرُونِ
مَنۡ
هُوَ
أَشَدُّ
مِنۡهُ
قُوَّةٗ
وَأَكۡثَرُ
جَمۡعٗاۚ
وَلَا
يُسۡـَٔلُ
عَن
ذُنُوبِهِمُ
ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

He said, “This is given to me because of the knowledge (I have) with me.” Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, from the generations before him, those who were stronger than him in power and greater than him in multitude? And the sinners have not to be asked about their sins.

Chapter 28, Page 395, Juz 20

76. Indeed Qārūn was from the people of Mūsā, then he rebelled against them. And We had given to him such treasures as their keys would weigh too heavy for a strong group of people. (Remember) when his people said to him, “Do not exult. Surely, Allah does not like the exultant. 77. And seek the (betterment of) the Ultimate Abode with what Allah has given to you, and do not neglect your share from this world, and do good as Allah did good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the land. Surely, Allah does not like the mischief-makers.” 78. He said, “This is given to me because of the knowledge (I have) with me.” Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, from the generations before him, those who were stronger than him in power and greater than him in multitude? And the sinners have not to be asked about their sins. 79. Then (once) he came out before his people in his embellishment. Said those who are desirous of the worldly life, “Would that we had the like of what Qārūn has been given! He is a man of great fortune indeed.” 80. And said those who were given knowledge, “Woe to you, Allah’s reward is much better for him who believes and acts righteously. But this is given to none but to those who observe restraint.” 81. Then We made him and his home sink into the earth. So there was no group for him who could help him against Allah, nor was he one of those who could defend themselves. 82. And those who wished to be in his position the day before, started saying, “Oh, it seems that Allah extends provision to whom He wills and straitens (for whom He wills). Had Allah not favored us, He would have made us sink (too). Oh, it seems that the infidels do not succeed.”
