سورة المؤمنون، الآية ٦٨
أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا۟ ٱلْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٦٨
afalam yaddabbarū l-qawla am jāahum mā lam yati ābāahumu l-awalīna

Will these idolaters not ponder over the Qur’ān Allah has revealed, bring faith in it and implement its teachings? Or is it that something has come to them which did not come to their predecessors, so they turned away from it and rejected it?
Have they not pondered the Words [of Allah], or has there come to them what did not come to their forefathers?
Have they not pondered over the Word (of Allâh, i.e. what is sent down to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم), or has there come to them what had not come to their fathers of old?
Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old?
Do they not ponder over the Word (of Allah), or has anything (new) come to them that did not come to their fathers of old?
Is it then that they do not ponder over what is said, or is it that there has come to them that which did not come to their fathers of old?
So have they not pondered over the Saying, or did there come to them that which did not come up to their earliest fathers?
