28:51 And We have constantly conveyed the Word [of admonition] to them[1], so that they may take heed.

28:52 As for those whom We gave the Scripture before this [Qur’an], they[1] do believe in it.

28:53 When this [Qur’an] is recited to them, they say, “We believe in it, for it is the truth from our Lord. We had already submitted [as Muslims even] before this[1].”

28:54 They will be given their reward twice for their patience, repelling evil with good[1], and for spending out of what We have provided for them.

28:55 When they hear vain talk, they turn away from it and say, “We are accountable for our deeds and you for yours. Peace [is our response] to you[1]! We do not want [to be with] the ignorant.”

28:56 You cannot guide whoever you like, but Allah guides whom He wills, and He knows best who will be guided.

28:57 They say, “If we follow the guidance with you [O Prophet], we will be snatched away from our land[1].” Have We not established for them a safe sanctuary [in Makkah] to which fruits of all kinds are brought as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.

28:58 How many a town We have destroyed that were arrogant due to their affluence! Those are their dwellings which were never inhabited after them except briefly[1]. It is We Who were the Inheritors.

28:59 Your Lord would never destroy towns without first sending to their main city a messenger, reciting to them Our verses. Nor would We destroy towns unless their people were wrongdoers.
