Surah 7. Al-A'raf, Ayah 168
وَقَطَّعْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أُمَمًا ۖ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَبَلَوْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْحَسَنَـٰتِ وَٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
Waqa tt aAAn a hum fee alar d i omaman minhumu a l ssa li h oona waminhum doona tha lika wabalawn a hum bi a l h asan a ti wa al ssayyi a ti laAAallahum yarjiAAoon a And We dispersed them as [separate] communities all over the earth; some of them were righteous, and some of them less than that: and the latter We tried with blessings as well as with afflictions, so that they might mend their ways.134
- Mohammad Asad
We broke their unity as a nation and dispersed them into different communities all over the earth - some of them are righteous and others are the opposite - We tested them with both blessings and misfortunes so that they might turn to the Right Way.
- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
We dispersed them through the land in groups- some were righteous, others were less so. We tested them with prosperity and adversity, so perhaps they would return 'to the Right Path'.
- Mustafa Khattab
And We have sundered them in the earth as (separate) nations. Some of them are righteous, and some far from that. And We have tried them with good things and evil things that haply they might return.
- Marmaduke Pickthall
We broke them up into sections on this earth. There are among them some that are the righteous and some that are the opposite. We have tried them with both prosperity and adversity: in order that they might turn (to us). 1141
- Abdullah Yusuf Ali
