Walaqad arsalna rusulan min qablika wajaAAalna lahum azwajan wathurriyyatan wama kana lirasoolin an ya/tiya bi-ayatin illa bi-ithni Allahi likulli ajalin kitabun\n38. We did send apostles\n Before thee, and appointed\n For them wives and children:\n And it was never the part\n Of an apostle to bring a Sign\n Except as God permitted\n (Or commanded). For each period\n Is a Book (revealed).\n39. Yamhoo Allahu ma yashao wayuthbitu waAAindahu ommu alkitabi\n39. God doth blot out\n Or confirm what He pleaseth:\n With Him is\n The Mother of the Book.\n40. Wa-in ma nuriyannaka baAAda allathee naAAiduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa-innama AAalayka albalaghu waAAalayna alhisabu\n40. Whether We shall show thee\n (Within thy life-time)\n Part of what We promised them\n Or take to ourselves thy soul\n(Before it is all accomplished),\u2014\n Thy duty is to make\n (The Message) reach them:\n It is Our part\n To call them to account.\n41. Awa lam yaraw anna na/tee al-arda nanqusuha min atrafiha waAllahu yahkumu la muAAaqqiba lihukmihi wahuwa sareeAAu alhisabi\n41. See they not that We\n Gradually reduce the land\n (In their control) from its\n Outlying borders ? (Where) God\n Commands, there is none\n To put back His command:\n And He is Swift\n In calling to account.\n42. Waqad makara allatheena min qablihim falillahi almakru jameeAAan yaAAlamu ma taksibu kullu nafsin wasayaAAlamu alkuffaru liman AAuqba alddari\n42. Those before them did (also)\n Devise plots; but in all things\n The master-planning is God's.\n He knoweth the doings\n Of every soul: and soon\n Will the Unbelievers know\n Who gets home in the End.\n43. Wayaqoolu allatheena kafaroo lasta mursalan qul kafa biAllahi shaheedan baynee wabaynakum waman AAindahu AAilmu alkitabi\n43. The Unbelievers say: \"No apostle\n Art thou.\" Say: \"Enough\n For a witness between me\n And you is God, and such\n As have knowledge of the Book.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XIII.: Ra\u2019d, or Thunder.: Section 6 (38-43)","type":"page"}
