28:43
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We gave
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Scripture
مِنۢ
after [what]
بَعۡدِ
after [what]
مَآ
after [what]
أَهۡلَكۡنَا
We had destroyed
ٱلۡقُرُونَ
the generations
ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
former
بَصَآئِرَ
(as) an enlightenment
لِلنَّاسِ
for the mankind
وَهُدًى
and a guidance
وَرَحۡمَةً
and mercy
لَّعَلَّهُمۡ
that they may
يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
remember
٤٣
And We gave Moses the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations, as enlightenment for the people and guidance and mercy that they might be reminded.
28:44
وَمَا
And not
كُنتَ
you were
بِجَانِبِ
on (the) side
ٱلۡغَرۡبِىِّ
western
إِذۡ
when
قَضَيۡنَآ
We decreed
إِلَىٰ
to
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡأَمۡرَ
the Commandment
وَمَا
and not
كُنتَ
you were
مِنَ
among
ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ
the witnesses
٤٤
And you, [O Muḥammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that].
28:45
وَلَـٰكِنَّآ
But We
أَنشَأۡنَا
[We] produced
قُرُونًا
generations
فَتَطَاوَلَ
and prolonged
عَلَيۡهِمُ
for them
ٱلۡعُمُرُ‌ۚ
the life
وَمَا
And not
كُنتَ
you were
ثَاوِيًا
a dweller
فِىٓ
among
أَهۡلِ
(the) people
مَدۡيَنَ
(of) Madyan
تَتۡلُواۡ
reciting
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
ءَايَـٰتِنَا
Our Verses
وَلَـٰكِنَّا
but We
كُنَّا
[We] were
مُرۡسِلِينَ
the Senders
٤٥
But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration.1 And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].2
28:46
وَمَا
And not
كُنتَ
you were
بِجَانِبِ
at (the) side
ٱلطُّورِ
(of) the Tur
إِذۡ
when
نَادَيۡنَا
We called
وَلَـٰكِن
But
رَّحۡمَةً
(as) a mercy
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكَ
your Lord
لِتُنذِرَ
so that you warn
قَوۡمًا
a people
مَّآ
not
أَتَـٰهُم
(had) come to them
مِّن
any
نَّذِيرٍ
warner
مِّن
before you
قَبۡلِكَ
before you
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
remember
٤٦
And you were not at the side of the mount when We called [Moses] but [were sent] as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you that they might be reminded.
28:47
وَلَوۡلَآ
And if not
أَن
[that]
تُصِيبَهُم
struck them
مُّصِيبَةُۢ
a disaster
بِمَا
for what
قَدَّمَتۡ
had sent forth
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
their hands
فَيَقُولُواۡ
and they would say
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
لَوۡلَآ
Why not
أَرۡسَلۡتَ
You sent
إِلَيۡنَا
to us
رَسُولاً
a Messenger
فَنَتَّبِعَ
so we (could have) followed
ءَايَـٰتِكَ
Your Verses
وَنَكُونَ
and we (would) have been
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
the believers
٤٧
And if not that a disaster should strike them for what their hands put forth [of sins] and they would say, "Our Lord, why did You not send us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses and been among the believers?"...1
28:48
فَلَمَّا
But when
جَآءَهُمُ
came to them
ٱلۡحَقُّ
the truth
مِنۡ
from Us
عِندِنَا
from Us
قَالُواۡ
they said
لَوۡلَآ
Why not
أُوتِىَ
he was given
مِثۡلَ
(the) like
مَآ
(of) what
أُوتِىَ
was given
مُوسَىٰٓ‌ۚ
(to) Musa
أَوَلَمۡ
Did not
يَكۡفُرُواۡ
they disbelieve
بِمَآ
in what
أُوتِىَ
was given
مُوسَىٰ
(to) Musa
مِن
before
قَبۡلُ‌ۖ
before
قَالُواۡ
They said
سِحۡرَانِ
Two magic (works)
تَظَـٰهَرَا
supporting each other
وَقَالُوٓاۡ
And they said
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
بِكُلٍّ
in all
كَـٰفِرُونَ
(are) disbelievers
٤٨
But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Why was he not given like that which was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Moses before? They said, "[They are but] two works of magic supporting each other,1 and indeed we are, in both, disbelievers."
28:49
قُلۡ
Say
فَأۡتُواۡ
Then bring
بِكِتَـٰبٍ
a Book
مِّنۡ
from Allah
عِندِ
from Allah
ٱللَّهِ
from Allah
هُوَ
which
أَهۡدَىٰ
(is) a better guide
مِنۡهُمَآ
than both of them
أَتَّبِعۡهُ
that I may follow it
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
صَـٰدِقِينَ
truthful
٤٩
Say, "Then bring a scripture from Allāh which is more guiding than either of them that I may follow it, if you should be truthful."
28:50
فَإِن
But if
لَّمۡ
not
يَسۡتَجِيبُواۡ
they respond
لَكَ
to you
فَٱعۡلَمۡ
then know
أَنَّمَا
that only
يَتَّبِعُونَ
they follow
أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ‌ۚ
their desires
وَمَنۡ
And who
أَضَلُّ
(is) more astray
مِمَّنِ
than (one) who
ٱتَّبَعَ
follows
هَوَٮٰهُ
his own desire
بِغَيۡرِ
without
هُدًى
guidance
مِّنَ
from
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
Allah
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَا
(does) not
يَهۡدِى
guide
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٥٠
But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allāh? Indeed, Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
