Maryam-74, Quran Recitation by Abu Bakr al Shatri

And how many of the generations have We destroyed before them who were better in respect of goods and outward appearance!

And how many a generation have We destroyed before these, who were goodlier in goods and outward appearance? *Chapter:19

How many a generation We have destroyed before them, who were superior in furnishings and appearance!

And yet, how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were superior in respect of possessions and outward show!

How many generations that had far more wealth and ostentation have We laid low before them!

And many a generation We did destroy before them, who exceeded them in wealth and pomp!

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were better off in assets and better in outward show and splendour (than these).

And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were fairer in furnishing and outward show!

And when Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of the two parties (your s or mine) is best placed and in the best company?"

And how many a generation (past nations) have We destroyed before them, who were better in wealth, goods and outward appearance?

And when our clear messages are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Which of the two parties is better in position and better in assembly?

And how many of the generations have We destroyed before them who were better in respect of goods and outward appearance!

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!

How many generations of greater prosperity and splendor have We destroyed before them?

How many generations have We destroyed before them, who were far greater in riches and more boastful!

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?

And many a generation We did destroy before them, who exceeded them in wealth and pomp!

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who surpassed them in riches and splendor?

We have destroyed so many generations before them, who surpassed them in material power and splendour.

But how many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye?
