28.41 . And We made them patterns that invite unto the Fire , and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped .
28. 28.42 . And We made a curse to follow them in this world , and on the Day of Resurrection they will be among the hateful .
28. 28.43 . And We verity gave the Scripture unto Moses after We had destroyed the generations of old ; clear testimonies for mankind , and a guidance and a mercy , that haply they might reflect .
28. 28.44 . And thou ( Muhammad ) wast not on the western side ( of the Mount ) when We expounded unto Moses the commandment , and thou wast not among those present ;
28. 28.45 . But We brought forth generations , and their lives dragged on for them . And thou wast not a dweller in Midian , reciting unto them Our revelations , but We kept sending ( messengers to men ) .
28. 28.46 . And thou wast not beside the Mount when We did call ; but ( the knowledge of it is ) a mercy from thy Lord that thou mayest warn a folk unto whom no warner came before thee , that haply they may give heed .
28. 28.47 . Otherwise , if disaster should afflict them because of that which their own hands have sent before ( them ) , they might say : Our Lord! Why sentest Thou no messenger unto us , that we might have followed Thy revelations and been of the believers?
28. 28.48 . But when there came unto them the Truth from Our presence , they said : Why is he not given the like of what was given unto Moses? Did they not disbelieve in that which was given unto Moses of old? They say : Two magics that support each other ; and they say : Lo! in both we are disbelievers .
28. 28.49 . Say ( unto them , O Muhammad ) : Then bring a Scripture from the presence of Allah that giveth clearer guidance than these two ( that ) I may follow it , if ye are truthful .
28. 28.50 . And if they answer thee not , then know that what they follow is their lusts . And who goeth farther astray than he who followeth his lust without guidance from Allah . Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk .
