« Verse-164 »
وَإِذَ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًا اللّهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا قَالُواْ مَعْذِرَةً إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
English Transliteration: Va iz kealat ummatun minhum lima taizoona kaavmanilleahu muhlikuhum av muaazzibuhum aazeaban shadeedea(shadeedan), kealoo maa’ziraatan ilea raabbikum va laaallahum yattakoon(yattakoona).
And when a party of them said: “Why do you admonish a people whom Allah would destroy or whom He would torment with a severe torment”? They said: “So that this should be an excuse to your Lord and that they may have piety (with this admonition)”.
