﴿ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴾

“but be conscious of Him who has created you, just as [He created] those countless generations of old!””

(And keep your duty unto) and fear (Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old) He created the people of old before you.
