Walaqad ahlakna ma hawlakum mina alqura wasarrafna al-ayati laAAallahum yarjiAAoona\n27. We destroyed aforetime\n Populations round about you;\n And We have shown\n The Signs in various ways,\n That they may turn (to Us).\n28. Falawla nasarahumu allatheena ittakhathoo min dooni Allahi qurbanan alihatan bal dalloo AAanhum wathalika ifkuhum wama kanoo yaftaroona\n28. Why then was no help\n Forthcoming to them from those\n Whom they worshipped as gods,\n Besides God, as a means\n Of access (to God)? Nay,\n They left them in the lurch:\n But that was their\n Falsehood and their invention.\n29. Wa-ith sarafna ilayka nafaran mina aljinni yastamiAAoona alqur-ana falamma hadaroohu qaloo ansitoo falamma qudiya wallaw ila qawmihim munthireena\n29.\n30. Qaloo ya qawmana inna samiAAna kitaban onzila min baAAdi moosa musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi yahdee ila alhaqqi wa-ila tareeqin mustaqeemin\n30. They said, \"O our people!\n We have heard a Book\n Revealed after Moses,\n Confirming what came\n Before it: it guides (men)\n To the Truth and\n To a Straight Path.\n31. Ya qawmana ajeeboo daAAiya Allahi waaminoo bihi yaghfir lakum min thunoobikum wayujirkum min AAathabin aleemin\n31. \"O our people, hearken\n To the one who invites\n (You) to God, and believe\n In him: He will forgive\n You your faults,\n And deliver you from\n A Penalty Grievous.\n32. Waman la yujib daAAiya Allahi falaysa bimuAAjizin fee al-ardi walaysa lahu min doonihi awliyaa ola-ika fee dalalin mubeenin\n32. \"If any does not hearken\n To the one who invites\n (Us) to God, he cannot\n Frustrate (God's Plan) on earth,\n And no protectors can he have\n Besides God: such men\n (Wander) in manifest error.\"\n33. Awa lam yaraw anna Allaha allathee khalaqa alssamawati waal-arda walam yaAAya bikhalqihinna biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta bala innahu AAala kulli shay-in qadeerun\n33. See they not that\n God, Who created the heavens\n And the earth, and never\n Wearied with their creation,\n Is able to give life\n To the dead? Yea, verily\n He has power over all things.\n34. Wayawma yuAAradu allatheena kafaroo AAala alnnari alaysa hatha bialhaqqi qaloo bala warabbina qala fathooqoo alAAathaba bima kuntum takfuroona\n34. And on the Day that\n The Unbelievers will be\n Placed before the Fire,\n (They will be asked,)\n Is this not the Truth?\"\n They will say, \"Yea,\n By our Lord!\"\n (One will say:)\n \"Then taste ye\n The Penalty, for that ye\n Were wont to deny (Truth)!\"\n35. Faisbir kama sabara oloo alAAazmi mina alrrusuli wala tastaAAjil lahum kaannahum yawma yarawna ma yooAAadoona lam yalbathoo illa saAAatan min naharin balaghun fahal yuhlaku illa alqawmu alfasiqoona\n35. Therefore patiently persevere,\n As did (all) apostles\n Of inflexible purpose;\n And be in no haste\n About the (Unbelievers). On the Day\n That they see the (Punishment)\n Promised them, (it will be)\n As if they had not\n Tarried more than an hour\n In a single day. (Thine\n But) to proclaim the Message:\n But shall any be destroyed\n Except those who transgress?","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XLVI.: A\u1e25q\u0101f, or Winding Sand-tracts.: Section 4 (27-35)","type":"page"}
