Ahmed Ali

There is only the life of this world: We die and we live: there is no rising from the dead for us.

(The apostle prayed): "O Lord, deliver me, for they accuse me of lies."

Answered (the Lord): "They shall wake up repenting soon."

English

Ahmed Ali

Then We sent Our apostles one after the other. Every time an apostle came to a people they denied him. So We made one follow the other (to its doom), and turned them into bygone tales. Cursed be the people who do not believe!

44

ثُمَّ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰى وَاَخَاہُ ہٰرُوْنَ۝۰ۥۙ بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍ۝۴۵ۙ
