وما ارسلنا من رسول الا بلسان قومه ليبين لهم فيضل الله من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء وهو العزيز الحكيم

We sent not an apostle Except (to teach) in the language Of his (own) people, in order To make (things) clear to them. Now God leaves straying Those whom He pleases And guides whom He pleases: And He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.
