Indeed, We have steadily delivered the Word ˹of Allah˺ to the people so they may be mindful.

˹As for˺ those ˹faithful˺ to whom We had given the Scripture before this ˹Quran˺, they do believe in it.

When it is recited to them, they declare, “We believe in it. This is definitely the truth from our Lord. We had already submitted ˹even˺ before this.”

These ˹believers˺ will be given a double reward for their perseverance, responding to evil with good, and for donating from what We have provided for them.

When they hear slanderous talk, they turn away from it, saying, “We are accountable for our deeds and you for yours. Peace ˹is our only response˺ to you! We want nothing to do with those who act ignorantly.”

ﱿIndeed, youﲀ(can) notﲁguideﲂwhomﲃyou loveﲄbutﲅAllahﲆguidesﲇwhomﲈﲉHe willsﲊAnd Heﲋ(is) most knowingﲌ(of) the guided onesﲍ
You surely cannot guide whoever you like ˹O Prophet˺, but it is Allah Who guides whoever He wills, and He knows best who are ˹fit to be˺ guided.

ﲎAnd they sayﲏIfﲐwe followﲑthe guidanceﲒwith youﲓwe would be sweptﲔfromﲕﲖour landﲗHave notﲘWe establishedﲙfor themﲚa sanctuaryﲛsecureﲜare broughtﲝto itﲞfruitsﲟ(of) allﲠthingsﲡa provisionﲢfromﲣUsﲤButﲥmost of themﲦ(do) notﲧknowﲨ
They say ˹to the Prophet˺, “If we were to follow ˹true˺ guidance with you, we would certainly be snatched away from our land.” Have We not established for them a safe haven ˹in Mecca˺ to which fruits of all kinds are brought as a provision from Us? But most of them do not know ˹this favour˺.

˹Imagine˺ how many societies We have destroyed that had been spoiled by their ˹comfortable˺ living! Those are their residences, never inhabited after them except passingly. And We ˹alone˺ were the Successor.

ﲽAnd notﲾwasﲿyour Lordﳀ(the) one to destroyﳁthe townsﳂuntilﳃHe (had) sentﳄinﳅtheir mother (town)ﳆa Messengerﳇrecitingﳈto themﳉﳊOur VersesﳋAnd notﳌWe would beﳍ(the) one to destroyﳎthe townsﳏexceptﳐwhile their peopleﳑ(were) wrongdoersﳒ
Your Lord would never destroy a society until He had sent to its capital a messenger, reciting Our revelations to them. Nor would We ever destroy a society unless its people persisted in wrongdoing.
