Mary · Makkah · Juz 16 · Mushaf page 309 of 604

۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا ٥٩

English translation (Saheeh International)

But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil1 -

  1. - Described as a valley in Hell or may be rendered "the consequence of error."

Brief commentary

After these chosen prophets came followers of evil and deviation, who neglected prayer by not offering it in the required manner, and who perpetrated sins driven by their own desires such as fornication. These people will come face to face with evil and disappointment in Hell.
