26:204
Surely in that there was a sign; yet most of themdo not believe.
Your Lord is the Mighty One, the Merciful. Verily this is revealed
by the Lord of the Creation. The Faithful Spirit brought it down into
your heart, that you might warn mankind in plain Arabic speech. It
was (foretold) in the scriptures of the ancients, is it not sufficient
proof for them that the learned of the Children of Israel know it? If
We had revealed it to a non-Arab, and he had recited it to them. they
still would not have believed. We thus put it in the hearts of the evil-
doers: they shall not believe in it until they see the woeful scourge
which in their heedlesness will suddenly smite them. And then they
will say: 'Shall we be reprieved?'
Do they wish to hasten Our punishment? (Think! ) If We let them
live in ease for many years, and then the scourge with which they are
threatened falls upon them, of what avail will their past enjoyments
be to them?
Never have We destroyed a town which We did not warn and
admonish beforehand.We are never unjust.
It was not the devils who brought down this revelation: it is neither
in their interest nor in their power. Indeed, they are too far away to
overhear it.
Call on no other god besidesAllah, lest you incur His punishment.
Admonish your nearest kinsfolk and show kindness to the believers
who follow you. If they disobey you, say: 'I am not accountable for
what you do.'
Put your trust in the Mighty One, the Merciful, who observes you
