and the Quran, the Book of wisdom,
3
that you (Muhammad) are a Messenger
4
and that you follow the right path.
5
This is a revelation sent down from the Majestic and All-merciful
6
so that you may warn a people who are unaware because their fathers were not warned.
7
(I swear) that most of them are doomed to be punished. They have no faith.
8
We have enchained their necks up to their chins. Thus, they cannot bend their heads (to find their way).
9
We have set-up a barrier in front of and behind them and have made them blind. Thus, they cannot see.
10
Whether you warn them or not, they will not believe.
11
You should only warn those who follow the Quran and have fear of the Beneficent God without seeing Him. Give them the glad news of their receiving forgiveness and an honorable reward (from God).
12
It is We who bring the dead to life and records the deeds of human beings and their consequences (of continual effects). We keep everything recorded in an illustrious Book.
13
Tell them the story of the people of the town to whom Messengers came.
14
We sent them two Messengers whom they rejected. We supported them by sending a third one who told the people, "We are the Messengers (of God) who have been sent to you".
15
The people said, "You are mere mortals like us and the Beneficent God has sent nothing. You are only liars."
16
They said, "Our Lord knows that We are Messengers
17
who have been sent to you. Our only duty is to preach clearly to you".
18
The people said, "We have ill omens about you. If you will not desist, we shall stone you and make you suffer a painful torment".
19
The Messengers said, "This ill omen lies within yourselves. Will you then take heed? In fact, you are a transgressing people."
20
A man came running from the farthest part of the city saying, "My people, follow the Messengers.
21
Follow those who do not ask you for any reward and who are rightly guided.
22
Why should I not worship God who has created me? To him you will all return.
23
Should I worship other gods besides Him? If the Beneficent God was to afflict me with hardship, the intercession of the idols can be of no benefit to me nor could it rescue me from hardship.
24
(Had I worshipped things besides God, I would have been in manifest error).
25
Messengers, listen to me. I believe in your Lord."
26
(Having been murdered by the disbelievers) he was told to enter paradise
27
(wherein he said), "Would that people knew how my Lord has granted me forgiveness and honor".
28
We did not send an army against his people from the heaven after his death nor did We need to send one.
29
It was only a single blast which made them extinct.

Woe to human beings! Whenever a Messenger came to them, they mocked him.
