And indeed now We have conveyed the Word (this Qur'ân in which is
the news of everything) to them, in order that they may remember (or receive
admonition). (51) Those to whom We gave the Scripture [i.e. the Taurât (Torah) and
the Injeel (Gospel)] before it, - they believe in it (the Qur'ân). (52) And when it is
recited to them, they say: "We believe in it. Verily, it is the truth from
our Lord. Indeed even before it we have been from those who submit themselves
to Allâh in Islâm as Muslims (like 'Abdullâh bin Salâm and Salmân Al-Farisî).[]
(53) These will be given
their reward twice over[], because they are patient, and repel evil with good,
and spend (in charity) out of what We have provided them. (54) And when they hear
Al¬Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk), they withdraw from it and say:
"To us our deeds, and to you your deeds. Peace be to you. We seek not (the
way of) the ignorant." (55) Verily! You (O Muhammad SAW) guide not whom
you like, but Allâh guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the
guided[] (56) And they say: "If we follow the guidance with you, we would
be snatched away from our land." Have We not established for them a secure
sanctuary (Makkah), to which are brought fruits of all kinds, a provision from
Ourselves, but most of them know not[]. (57) And how many a town (population) have
We destroyed, which were thankless for its means of livelihood (disobeyed
Allâh, and His Messengers, by doing evil deeds and crimes) ! And those are
their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them except a little. And
verily! We have been the inheritors. (58) And never will your Lord destroy the
towns (populations) until He sends to their mother town a Messenger reciting to
them Our Verses. And never would We destroy the towns unless the people thereof
are Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh,
oppressors and tyrants). (59)
