The believing man invites his people to follow the messengers

Then a man came running from the other side of the city. "O my people," he said, "follow the messengers.

Follow those who do not ask for any recompense of you, and are rightly guided.

Why should I not worship Him who brought me into being, to whom you will be brought back in the end?

Should I take other gods apart from Him, who would neither be able to intercede for me nor save me if Ar-Rahman brings me harm?

In that case I would surely be in clear error.

I believe in your Lord, so listen to me."

(But they stoned him to death.) It was said to him: "Enter Paradise;" and he said: "If only my people knew

How my Lord has forgiven me and made me one of those who are honoured!"

We did not send down any army against his people from heaven, nor did We have to send one.

There was just one blast, and they were extinguished.

Alas for men! No apostle ever came to them but they made fun of him.

Have they not seen how many generations have We destroyed before them who will not return again?

They will all be brought together before Us.
