Sura 16 Al-Nahl (The Bee), ayah 26

  1. قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى اللَّهُ بُنْيَانَهُمْ مِنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

    Translation by words

    قَدْ
    Verily,
    مَكَرَ
    plotted
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    مِن
    (were) before them,
    قَبْلِهِمْ
    (were) before them,
    فَأَتَى
    but Allah came
    ٱللَّهُ
    but Allah came
    بُنْيَٰنَهُم
    (at) their building
    مِّنَ
    from
    ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ
    the foundations,
    فَخَرَّ
    so fell
    عَلَيْهِمُ
    upon them
    ٱلسَّقْفُ
    the roof
    مِن
    from
    فَوْقِهِمْ
    above them,
    وَأَتَىٰهُمُ
    and came to them
    ٱلْعَذَابُ
    the punishment
    مِنْ
    from
    حَيْثُ
    where
    لَا
    they (did) not perceive.
    يَشْعُرُونَ
    they (did) not perceive.

    Those before them had already plotted, but Allah came at their building from the foundations, so the roof fell upon them from above them, and the punishment came to them from where they did not perceive.
