Then We made you successors after them, generations after generations in the land, that We might see how you would work.

Then We appointed you viceroys in the earth after them, that We might see how ye behave.

Then We made you heirs in the land after them, to see how ye would behave!

Then We made you successors in the land after them so that We may see how you act.

Thereafter We have made you succeeding (each other) in the earth even after them, that We may look how you would do.
