l
nnasi min kulli mathalin wakana al-insanu
akthara shay-in jadala
n
54. We have explained in detail in this Qur'an, for the benefit of mankind, every kind of
similitude: but man is, in most things, contentious.
55. Wama manaAAa a
l
nnasa an yu/minoo ith jaahumu alhuda wayastaghfiroo rabbahum
illa an ta/tiyahum sunnatu al-awwaleena aw ya/tiyahumu alAAathabu qubula
n
55. And what is there to keep back men from believing, now that Guidance has come to
them, nor from praying for forgiveness from their Lord, but that (they ask that) the ways
of the ancients be repeated with them, or the Wrath be brought to them face to face?
