By the Qur’ān, that is full of wisdom,

You are truly one of the messengers of Allah,

(and you are) on a straight path,

(this Qur’ān being) a revelation from the All- Mighty, the Very-Merciful,

so that you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, and hence, they are unaware.

The word has indeed come true about most of them, so they will not believe.

We have placed iron collars on their necks, so they are reaching up to their chins, and their heads are forced to remain upwards.

And We have placed a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them, and (thus) they are encircled by Us; so they do not see.

It is all equal for them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.

You can (usefully) warn only the one who follows the advice and fears the RaHmān (the All-Merciful Allah) without seeing (Him). So give him the good news of forgiveness and of a noble reward.

Surely We will give new life to the dead, and We are recording whatever (deeds) they send before them and whatever effects they leave behind. Every thing is fully computed by Us in a manifest book of record.

Cite to them the example of the People of the Town, when the messengers came to it,

when We sent to them two (apostles), and they rejected both of them, so We confirmed them with a third one. So they said, “We are sent to you.”

They (the people of the Town) said, “You are no more than human beings like us, and the RaHmān (the All-Merciful Allah) has not sent down any thing. You are but telling a lie.”

They (the messengers) said, “Our Lord knows that we are undoubtedly sent to you.
