(will be) a respectable position
"Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord, through a man of your own people, to warn you,- so that ye may fear Allah and haply receive His Mercy?"
"Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord through a man of your own people, to warn you? call in remembrance that He made you inheritors after the people of Noah, and gave you a stature tall among the nations. Call in remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah: that so ye may prosper."
Is it a matter of wonderment to men that We have sent Our inspiration to a man from among themselves?- that he should warn mankind (of their danger), and give the good news to the Believers that they have before their Lord the lofty rank of truth. (But) say the Unbelievers: "This is indeed an evident sorcerer!"
The Unbelievers say (in ridicule): "Shall we point out to you a man that will tell you, when ye are all scattered to pieces in disintegration, that ye shall (then be raised) in a New Creation?
Also, they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to some leading man in either of the two (chief) cities?"
从你们的主发出的教训,借你们族中一个人的口而降临你们,以便他警告你们,以便你们敬畏,以便你们蒙主的怜悯,难道你们对于这件事觉得惊讶吗?”
从你们的主发出的教训,借你们族中一个人的口降临你们,以便他警告你们,难道你们对于这件事觉得惊讶吗?你们要记忆那时,他在努哈的宗族灭亡之后,以你们为代治者,他使你们的体格更加魁梧,你们要铭记真主的恩典,以便你们成功。”
难道人们认为这是怪事吗?我曾启示他们中的一个男子:你要警告众人,你要向信士们报喜,告诉他们在他们的主那里,他们有崇高的品位。不信道者曾说:“这确是明显的术士。”
不信道的人们说:“我们指示你们一个人好吗?他会告诉你们,当你们被粉碎之后,你们必定要被再造。
他们说:“怎么不把这本《古兰经》降示两城中任何一城的要人呢?”
