28:51

We have caused Our Word to come to them so that they may be mindful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:52

Those to whom We gave the Scripture before believe in it,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:53

and, when it is recited to them, say, ‘We believe in it, it is the truth from our Lord. Before it came we had already devoted ourselves to Him.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:54

They will be given their rewards twice over because they are steadfast, repel evil with good, give to others out of what We have provided for them,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:55

and turn away whenever they hear frivolous talk, saying, ‘We have our deeds and you have yours. Peace be with you! We do not seek the company of ignorant people.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:56

You [Prophet] cannot guide everyone you love to the truth; it is God who guides whoever He will: He knows best those who will follow guidance.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:57

They say, ‘If we were to follow guidance with you [Prophet], we would be swept from our land.’ Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary where every kind of produce is brought, as a provision from Us? But most of them do not comprehend.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:58

We have destroyed many a community that once revelled in its wanton wealth and easy living: since then their dwelling places have barely been inhabited- We are the only heir.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:59

Your Lord would never destroy towns without first raising a messenger in their midst to recite Our messages to them, nor would We destroy towns unless their inhabitants were evildoers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:61

Can the person who will see the fulfilment of the good promise We gave him be compared to someone We have given some enjoyments for this worldly life but who, on the Day of Resurrection, will be summoned?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:62

The Day will come when God will call them, saying, ‘Where now are those you allege are My partners?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:63

and those [ringleaders] against whom the verdict will be passed will say, ‘Our Lord, these are the ones we caused to deviate. We caused them to deviate as we ourselves deviated, but now we disown them before You: they did not really serve us.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:64

It will then be said to them, ‘Now call those you worshipped as partners,’ and they will call them but receive no answer. They will see the suffering and wish they had followed guidance.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:65

On that Day He will call them, saying, ‘How did you respond to My messengers?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:66

All arguments will seem obscure to them on that Day; they will not be able to consult one another.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:67

Yet anyone who has repented, believed, and done good deeds can hope to find himself among the successful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:68

Your Lord creates what He pleases and chooses those He will- they have no choice- so glory be to God, and may He be exalted above the partners they ascribe to Him!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:69

Your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

28:70

He is God; there is no god but Him; all praise belongs to Him in this world and the next; His is the Judgement; and to Him you shall be returned.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
