ولقد ارسلنا رسلا من قبلك منهم من قصصنا عليك ومنهم من لم نقصص عليك وما كان لرسول ان ياتي باية الا باذن الله فاذا جاء امر الله قضي بالحق وخسر هنالك المبطلون

We did aforetime send Apostles before thee: of them There are some whose story We have related to thee, And some whose story We have not related To thee. It was not (Possible) for any apostle To bring a Sign except By the leave of God: But when the Command Of God issued, The matter was decided In truth and justice, And there perished, There and then, those Who stood on Falsehoods.
