And the Qur'an of wisdom.

You are one of the messengers.

Upon a straight path.

The revelation of the Most Honorable, the Merciful.

To warn a people whose fathers were not warned, for they are unaware.

The retribution has been deserved by most of them, for they do not believe.

We have placed shackles around their necks, up to their chins, so that they are forced in place.

And We have placed a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, thus We shielded them so they cannot see.

And whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.

You can only warn him who follows the Reminder, and is concerned towards the Almighty while unseen. Give him good news of forgiveness and a generous reward.

It is indeed Us who resurrect the dead, and We record what they have done and left behind. And everything We have counted in a clear ledger.

And put forth for them the example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it.

Where We sent two to them, but they disbelieved in them, so We supported them with a third one, thus they said: "We are messengers to you."

They said: "You are but human beings like us, and the Almighty did not send down anything, you are only telling lies."

They said: "Our Lord knows that we have been sent to you."

"And we are only required to give a clear delivery."

They said: "We have welcomed you better than you deserve. If you do not cease, we will stone you, and you will receive a painful retribution from us!"

They said: "Keep your welcome with you, for you have been reminded. Indeed, you are transgressing people."

And a man came running from the farthest part of the city, saying: "O my people, follow the messengers."

"Follow those who do not ask you for any wage, and are guided."

"And why should I not serve the One who initiated me, and to Him is your ultimate return?"

"Shall I take gods besides Him? If the Almighty intends any harm for me, their intercession cannot help me in the least, nor can they save me."

"Then I would be clearly astray."

"I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me!"
