وَ لَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ الْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَذَكَّرُوْنَؕ۝۵۱

We have been sending word to them that they may take a warning.

اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰتَیْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ هُمْ بِهٖ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ۝۵۲

Those to whom We gave the Book before this do believe in it;

وَ اِذَا یُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِهٖۤ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّنَاۤ اِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مُسْلِمِیْنَ۝۵۳

And when it is read out to them, say: "We believe in it. It´s the truth from our Lord. We had committed ourselves before it came."

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُؤْتَوْنَ اَجْرَهُمْ مَّرَّتَیْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوْا وَ یَدْرَءُوْنَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّیِّئَةَ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ۝۵۴

These will be given their recompense twice, for they persevered and repelled evil with good, and spent of what We had given them.

وَ اِذَا سَمِعُوا اللَّغْوَ اَعْرَضُوْا عَنْهُ وَ قَالُوْا لَنَاۤ اَعْمَالُنَا وَ لَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْ ؗ سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْكُمْ ؗ لَا نَبْتَغِی الْجٰهِلِیْنَ۝۵۵

When they hear idle talk they turn aside and say: "To us our actions, to you yours. Peace on you; we do not look for the ignorant."

اِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِیْ مَنْ اَحْبَبْتَ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَهْدِیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ۚ وَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِیْنَ۝۵۶

You cannot guide any one you like: God guides whosoever He please. He knows best who will come to guidance.

وَ قَالُوْۤا اِنْ نَّتَّبِعِ الْهُدٰی مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ اَرْضِنَا ؕ اَوَ لَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا اٰمِنًا یُّجْبٰۤی اِلَیْهِ ثَمَرٰتُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ رِّزْقًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۵۷

They say: "If we followed your guidance we would be driven from the land by force." Have We not set up a sanctuary for them, to which is brought a wealth of everything as provision from Us? But most of them do not understand.

وَ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْیَةٍۭ بَطِرَتْ مَعِیْشَتَهَا ۚ فَتِلْكَ مَسٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا ؕ وَ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوٰرِثِیْنَ۝۵۸

How many habitations that had come to boast of their resources have We destroyed? These their dwellings were never inhabited except rarely after them; and they came back to Us.

وَ مَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰی حَتّٰی یَبْعَثَ فِیْۤ اُمِّهَا رَسُوْلًا یَّتْلُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتِنَا ۚ وَ مَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِی الْقُرٰۤی اِلَّا وَ اَهْلُهَا ظٰلِمُوْنَ۝۵۹

But your Lord does not destroy habitations without having sent an apostle to their metropolis to read out Our commandments to them. We would never have destroyed cities if their inhabitants were not given to wickedness.

وَ مَاۤ اُوْتِیْتُمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ زِیْنَتُهَا ۚ وَ مَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَیْرٌ وَّ اَبْقٰی ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ۠۝۶۰

Whatsoever has been given you is the stuff this life is made of, and only its embellishment. What is with your Lord is better and abiding. Will you not understand?
