Transliteration:( Wa kam ahlaknaa qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu asaasanw wa ri'yaa )
"And how many generations We have destroyed before them, that they were better in goods and outward show than them [131]."
Nations like Pharaoh, Hamaan, and Qarun had far more wealth and splendour, yet they were destroyed. This proves that worldly luxury is no sign of success in the Hereafter.
