Explanatory translation

5In all this, is there not a testimony, full of lessons and counsel, for people of understanding who reflect: that darkness does not last, that after every night a morning will come, and after every winter a spring? Of course there is. Allah did not create human beings without reason or in vain; whoever uses his reason and reflects will understand and grasp that he was not created for nothing. Know that the wrongdoers of the past who, just like you, oppressed the believers were destroyed by Allah. Well then, will you not look at what happened to them and learn a lesson?
