The Quran Must Be Translated
26:198 If we revealed this to people who do not know Arabic. 26:199 And had him recite it (in Arabic), they could not possibly believe in it. 26:200 We thus render it (like a foreign language) in the hearts of the guilty. 26:201 Thus, they cannot believe in it; not until they see the painful retribution. 26:202 It will come to them suddenly, when they least expect it. 26:203 They will then say, “Can we have a respite?” 26:204 Did they not challenge our retribution? As you see, we allowed them to enjoy for years. Then the retribution came to them, just as promised. Their vast resources did not help them in the least. We never annihilate any community without sending warners. Therefore, this is a reminder, for we are never unjust.
