44 Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those before them — and they were stronger than those in power? And Allāh is not such that anything in the heavens or the earth can escape Him. Surely He is ever Knowing, Powerful. |
45 And were Allāh to punish men for what they earn, He would not leave on the back of it any creature, but He respites them till an appointed term; so when their doom comes, then surely Allāh is ever Seer of His servants. |
1 O man, |
2 By the Qur’ān, full of wisdom! |
3 Surely thou art one of the messengers, |
4 On a right way. |
5 A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful, |
6 That thou mayest warn a people whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless. |
7 The word has indeed proved true of most of them, so they believe not. |
8 Surely We have placed on their necks chains reaching up to the chins, so they have their heads raised aloft. |
9 And We have set a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, thus We have covered them, so that they see not. |
10 And it is alike to them whether thou warn them or warn them not — they believe not. |
11 Thou canst warn him only who follows the Reminder and fears the Beneficent in secret; so give him good news of forgiveness and a generous reward. |
12 Surely We give life to the dead, and We write down that which they send before and their footprints, and We record everything in a clear writing. |
