28:48
forewarn a people to whom no warner has been sent before, so that
they may take heed and may not say, when evil befalls them on
account of their misdeeds: 'Lord, hadYou sent us an apostle, we would
have obeyedYour revelations and believed in them.’
And now that they have received from Us the truth, they ask: 'Why
is he not given the like of what was given to Musa? ' But do they not
deny what was given to Musa? They say: 'Two works of magic
supporting one another! 'And they declare: 'We will believe in neither
of them.'
Say: 'Bring down from Allah a scripture that is a better guidance
than these and I will follow it, if what you say be true.'
If they do not answer you, know that they are the slaves of their
desires. And who is in greater error than the man who is led by his
desires without guidance from Allah? Allah does not guide the evil-
doers.
We have caused Our Word to reach them so that they may give
thought. Those to whomWe gave the Book before, are believers in it.
When it is recited to them, they say: 'We believe in it because it is the
truth from Our Lord. We surrendered ourselves to Him before it
came.'
Twice shall their reward be given them, because they have endured,
repelling evil with good and giving in alms a part of that which We
bestowed on them; and because they pay no heed to vain talk, but say:
'We have our actions and you have yours. Peace be upon you. We do
not seek (the company of) ignorant men.'
