Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba min baAAdi ma ahlakna alquroona al-oola basa-ira lilnnasi wahudan warahmatan laAAallahum yatathakkaroona\n43. We did reveal to Moses\n The Book after We had\n Destroyed the earlier generations,\n (To give) Insight to men,\n And Guidance and Mercy,\n That they might receive admonition.\n44. Wama kunta bijanibi algharbiyyi ith qadayna ila moosa al-amra wama kunta mina alshshahideena\n44. Thou wast not on the Western\n Side when We decreed\n The Commission to Moses,\n Nor wast thou a witness\n (Of those events).\n45. Walakinna ansha-na quroonan fatatawala AAalayhimu alAAumuru wama kunta thawiyan fee ahli madyana tatloo AAalayhim ayatina walakinna kunna mursileena\n45. But We raised up (new)\n Generations, and long were the ages\n That passed over them;\n But thou vast not a dweller\n Among the people of Madyan,\n Rehearsing Our Signs to them;\n But it is We Who send\n Apostles (with inspiration).\n46. Wama kunta bijanibi alttoori ith nadayna walakin rahmatan min rabbika litunthira qawman ma atahum min natheerin min qablika laAAallahum yatathakkaroona\n46. Nor wast thou at the side\n Of (the Mountain of) \u1e6c\u016br\n When We called (to Moses).\n Yet (art thou sent)\n As a Mercy from thy Lord,\n To give warning to a people\n To whom no warner had come\n Before thee: in order that\n They may receive admonition.\n47. Walawla an tuseebahum museebatun bima qaddamat aydeehim fayaqooloo rabbana lawla arsalta ilayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika wanakoona mina almu/mineena\n47. If (We had) not (sent thee\n To the Quraish),\u2014in case\n A calamity should seize them\n For (the deeds) that their hands\n Have sent forth, they might say:\n \"Our Lord! why didst Thou not\nSend us an apostle? We\n Should then have followed\n Thy Signs and been amongst\n Those who believe!\"\n48. Falamma jaahumu alhaqqu min AAindina qaloo lawla ootiya mithla ma ootiya moosa awa lam yakfuroo bima ootiya moosa min qablu qaloo sihrani tathahara waqaloo inna bikullin kafiroona\n48. But (now), when the Truth\n Has come to them from Ourselves,\n They say, \"Why are not\n (Signs) sent to him, like\n Those which were sent to Moses?\"\n Do they not then reject\n (The Signs) which were formerly\n Sent to Moses? They say:\n \"Two kinds of sorcery,\n Each assisting the other .\n And they say: \"For us,\n We reject all (such things)!\"\n49. Qul fa/too bikitabin min AAindi Allahi huwa ahda minhuma attabiAAhu in kuntum sadiqeena\n49. Say: \"Then bring ye\n A Book from God,\n Which is a better Guide\n Than either of them,\n That I may follow it!\n (Do), if ye are truthful!\"\n50. Fa-in lam yastajeeboo laka faiAAlam annama yattabiAAoona ahwaahum waman adallu mimmani ittabaAAa hawahu bighayri hudan mina Allahi inna Allaha la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena\n50. But if they hearken not\n To thee, know that they\n Only follow their own lusts:\n And who is more astray\n Than one who follows his own\n Lusts, devoid of guidance\n From God? For God guides not\n People given to wrong-doing.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXVIII.: Qa\u1e63a\u1e63, or the Narration.: Section 5 (43-50)","type":"page"}
