Walaqad wassalna lahumu alqawla laAAallahum yatathakkaroona\n51. Now have We caused\n The Word to reach them\n Themselves, in order that\n They may receive admonition.\n52. Allatheena ataynahumu alkitaba min qablihi hum bihi yu/minoona\n52. Those to whom We sent\n The Book before this,\u2014they\n Do believe in this (Revelation);\n53. Wa-itha yutla AAalayhim qaloo amanna bihi innahu alhaqqu min rabbina inna kunna min qablihi muslimeena\n53. And when it is recited\n To them, they say: \"We\n Believe therein, for it is\n The Truth from our Lord:\n Indeed we have been Muslims\n (Bowing to God's Will)\n From before this.\n54. Ola-ika yu/tawna ajrahum marratayni bima sabaroo wayadraoona bialhasanati alssayyi-ata wamimma razaqnahum yunfiqoona\n54. Twice will they be given\n Their reward, for that they\n Have persevered, that they avert\n Evil with Good, and that\n They spend (in charity) out of\n What We have given them.\n55. Wa-itha samiAAoo allaghwa aAAradoo AAanhu waqaloo lana aAAmaluna walakum aAAmalukum salamun AAalaykum la nabtaghee aljahileena\n55. And when they hear vain talk,\n They turn away therefrom\n And say: \"To us our deeds,\n And to you yours;\nPeace be to you: we\n Seek not the ignorant.\"\n56. Innaka la tahdee man ahbabta walakinna Allaha yahdee man yashao wahuwa aAAlamu bialmuhtadeena\n56. It is true thou wilt not\n Be able to guide every one;\n Whom thou lowest; but God\n Guides those whom He will.\n And He knows best those\n Who receive guidance.\n57. 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\n57. They say: \"If we were\n To follow the guidance with thee,\n We should be snatched away\n From our land.\" Have We not\n Established for them a secure\n Sanctuary, to which are brought\n As tribute fruits of all kinds,\u2014\n A provision from Ourselves?\n But most of them understand not.\n58. Wakam ahlakna min qaryatin batirat maAAeeshataha fatilka masakinuhum lam tuskan min baAAdihim illa qaleelan wakunna nahnu alwaritheena\n58. And how many populations\n We destroyed, which exulted\n In their life (of ease and plenty)!\n Now those habitations of theirs,\n After them, are deserted,\u2014\n All but a (miserable) few!\n And We are their heirs!\"\n59. Wama kana rabbuka muhlika alqura hatta yabAAatha fee ommiha rasoolan yatloo AAalayhim ayatina wama kunna muhlikee alqura illa waahluha thalimoona\n59. Nor was thy Lord the one\n To destroy a population until\n He had sent to its Centre\n An apostle, rehearsing to them\n Our Signs; nor are We\n Going to destroy a population\n Except when its members\n Practise iniquity.\n60. Wama ooteetum min shay-in famataAAu alhayati alddunya wazeenatuha wama AAinda Allahi khayrun waabqa afala taAAqiloona\n60. The (material) things which\n Ye are given are but\n The conveniences of this life\n And the glitter thereof;\n But that which is with God\n Is better and more enduring:\n Will ye not then be wise?","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXVIII.: Qa\u1e63a\u1e63, or the Narration.: Section 6 (51-60)","type":"page"}
