"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Xxviii.: Qaa, Or The Narration.

Section 6

51.
Walaqad wassalna lahumu alqawla laAAallahum yatathakkaroonA

51.
Now have We caused

The Word to reach them

Themselves, in order that

They may receive admonition.

52.
Allatheena ataynahumu alkitaba min qablihi hum bihi yu/minoonA

52.
Those to whom We sent

The Book before this,--they

Do believe in this (Revelation);

53.
Wa-itha yutla AAalayhim qaloo amanna bihi innahu alhaqqu min rabbina inna kunna min qablihi muslimeenA

53.
And when it is recited

To them, they say: "We

Believe therein, for it is

The Truth from our Lord:


Indeed we have been Muslims

(Bowing to God's Will)

From before this.

54.
Ola-ika yu/tawna ajrahum marratayni bima sabaroo wayadraoona biAlhasanati aLssayyi-ata wamimma razaqnahum yunfiqoonA

54.
Twice will they be given

Their reward, for that they

Have persevered, that they avert

Evil with Good, and that

They spend (in charity) out of

What We have given them.

55.
Wa-itha samiAAoo allaghwa aAAradoo AAanhu waqaloo lana aAAmaluna walakum aAAmalukum salamun AAalaykum la nabtaghee aljahileenA

55.
And when they hear vain talk,

They turn away therefrom

And say: "To us our deeds,

And to you yours;

Peace be to you: we

Seek not the ignorant.
"

56. Innaka la tahdee man ahbabta walakinna Allaha yahdee man yashao wahuwa aAAlamu biAlmuhtadeenA

56.
It is true thou wilt not

Be able to guide every one;

Whom thou lowest; but God

Guides those whom He will.

And He knows best those

Who receive guidance.

57.
Waqaloo in nattabiAAi alhuda maAAaka nutakhattaf min ardina awa lam numakkin lahum haraman aminan yujba ilayhi thamaratu kulli shay-in rizqan min ladunna walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoonA

57.
They say: "If we were

To follow the guidance with thee,

We should be snatched away

From our land.
" Have We not

Established for them a secure

Sanctuary, to which are brought

As tribute fruits of all kinds,--

A provision from Ourselves?

But most of them understand not.

58.
Wakam ahlakna min qaryatin batirat maAAeeshataha fatilka masakinuhum lam tuskan min baAAdihim illa qaleelan wakunna nahnu alwaritheenA

58.
And how many populations

We destroyed, which exulted

In their life (of ease and plenty)!

Now those habitations of theirs,

After them, are deserted,--

All but a (miserable) few!

And We are their heirs!"

59. Wama kana rabbuka muhlika alqura hatta yabAAatha fee ommiha rasoolan yatloo AAalayhim ayatina wama kunna muhlikee alqura illa waahluha "th"alimoonA

59.
Nor was thy Lord the one

To destroy a population until

He had sent to its Centre

An apostle, rehearsing to them

Our Signs; nor are We

Going to destroy a population

Except when its members

Practise iniquity.

60.
Wama ooteetum min shay-in famataAAu alhayati aLddunya wazeenatuha wama AAinda Allahi khayrun waabqa afala taAAqiloonA

60.
The (material) things which

Ye are given are but

The conveniences of this life

And the glitter ther;

But that which is with God

Is better and more enduring:

Will ye not then be wise?
