28:39
And he was arrogant and insolent in the land, beyond
reason,- He and his hosts: they thought that they
would not have to return to Us!
28:40
So We seized him and his hosts, and We flung them into
the sea: Now behold what was the end of
those who did wrong!
28:41
And we made them (but) leaders inviting to the Fire; and
on the Day of Judgment no help shall they find.
28:42
in this world We made a curse to follow them and on the
Day of Judgment they will be among the
loathed (and despised).
28:43
We did reveal to Moses the Book after We had destroyed
the earlier generations, (to give) Insight to men, and
guidance and Mercy, that they might receive admonition.
28:44
Thou wast not on the Western side when We decreed the
Commission to Moses, nor wast thoua witness
(of those events).
28:45
But We raised up (new) generations, and long were the
ages that passed over them; but thouwast not a
dweller among the people of Madyan, rehearsing Our
Signs to them; but it is We Who send
messengers (with inspiration).
28:46
143
Nor wast thou at the side of (the Mountain of) Tur when
we called (to Moses). Yet (art thou sent) as
Mercy from thy Lord, to give warning to a people to
whom no warner had come before thee: in order that
they may receive admonition.
28:47
If (We had) not (sent thee to the Quraish),- in case a
calamity should seize them for (the deeds)that their
hands have sent forth, they might say: “Our Lord! why
didst Thou not sent us a messenger? We should
then have followed Thy Signs and been amongst those
who believe!”
28:48
But (now), when the Truth has come to them from
Ourselves, they say, “Why are not (Signs) sent to
him, like those which were sent to Moses?” Do they not
then reject (the Signs) which were formerly
sent to Moses? They say: “Two kinds of sorcery, each
assisting the other!” And they say: “For us, we
reject all (such things)!”
28:49
Say: “Then bring ye a Book from Allah, which is a better
guide than either of them, that I may follow
it! (do), if ye are truthful!”
28:50
But if they hearken not to thee, know that they only
follow their own lusts: and who is more astray
than one who follow his own lusts, devoid of guidance
from Allah? for Allah guides not people given to
wrong-doing.
28:51
Now have We caused the Word to reach them
themselves, in order that they may receive
144
admonition.
28:52
Those to whom We sent the Book before this,- they do
believe in this (revelation):
28:53
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 Allah’s Will) from
before this.
