Surah An-Nur 24:34



ﲊ ﲋ ﲌ ﲍ ﲎ ﲏ ﲐ ﲑ ﲒ ﲓ ﲔ ﲕ ﲖ

And We have certainly sent down to you distinct verses and examples from those who passed on before you and an admonition for those who fear Allah.

ولقد أنزلنا إليكم آيات مبينات

And indeed We have sent down for you Ayat that make things plain, meaning, in the Qur'an there are Ayat which are clear and explain matters in detail.

ومثﻼ من الذين خلوا من قبلكم

and the example of those who passed away before you, means, reports about the nations of the past and what happened to them when they went against the commandments of Allah, as Allah says:

فجعلنهم سلفا ومثﻼ لﻼخرين

And We made them a precedent, and an example to later generations. (43:56) We made them a lesson, i.e., a rebuke for committing sin and forbidden deeds.

وموعظة

and an admonition,

للمتقين

for those who have Taqwa. meaning, for those who remember and fear Allah
