بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
28:41 We made them leaders who call to the Fire, and they will not be helped on the Day of Resurrection.
28:42 We labeled them with a curse in this world, and they will be humiliated on the Day of Resurrection.
28:43 After We destroyed the first generations (the people of Noah, Hud, Salih, Lot and Shu´ayb), We gave Moses the Book as a guide and a mercy, enlightening the people, that they may take admonition.
28:44 When We conveyed the command to Moses, you were not on the western side; you were not a witness.
28:45 But We created many generations. A long time has passed. Nor were you among the people of Median, reciting Our Verses. However, We send messengers.
28:46 Nor were you on the slope of Tur when We called out (to Moses). But (We inform you) as a mercy from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner came before you, that they may take heed.
28:47 "So that when a calamity befalls them because of what their own hands have wrought, they may not be able to say: "Our Lord, if you had sent us a messenger, we would have followed your verses and been of the believers"..."
28:48 "When the truth reached them from Us, they said: "If only the like of what was given to Moses (miracles) had been brought to us!"Did they not (those of the same mindset) disbelieve in what was given to Moses before? "They are two books of magic that support each other. We reject both of them"."
28:49 "Say, "If you are truthful, bring a Book from Allah that guides better than these two, and I will follow it."
28:50 If they do not answer you, know that they follow only their delusions. Who is more astray than he who follows his delusions without guidance from Allah? Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
28:51 We have been conveying the message to them that they may take admonition.
28:53 "When it is recited to them, they say: "We believe in it. This is the truth from our Lord. We were Muslims before that"."
28:54 Their reward will be given to them twice for their patience. They repel evil with good and give of the bounties We have given them.
28:55 "When they hear idle talk, they turn away from it and say, "Our affair is for us and your affair is for you. Peace be upon you. We do not want to deal with the ignorant"."
28:56 You cannot guide whom you love to the truth. It is Allah alone who guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who deserve to reach the truth.
28:57 "They said, "If we followed your guidance, we would be driven from our homes. Did We not settle them in a safe and holy place where every kind of produce from Us is gathered as sustenance? But many do not know."
28:58 How many peoples We destroyed who were ungrateful for the favors given to them. These are their houses which were inhabited by few after them. We have inherited them.
28:59 Your Lord does not destroy a people until He sends to their center a messenger who recites to them Our Verses. And We never destroy a people whose people are not oppressors.
28:60 All that is given to you is the wealth and ornaments of this world´s life. Better and lasting is that which is with Allah. Do you not understand?
