The Stories - Al-Qasas

Say: Then bring some (other) book from Allah which is a better guide than both of them, (that) I may follow it, if you are truthful.

But if they do not answer you, then know that they only follow their low desires; and who is more erring than he who follows his low desires without any guidance from Allah? Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

And certainly We have made the word to reach them so that they may be mindful.

(As to) those whom We gave the Book before it, they are believers in it.

And when it is recited to them they say: We believe in it surely it is the truth from our Lord; surely we were submitters before this.

These shall be granted their reward twice, because they are steadfast and they repel evil with good and spend out of what We have given them.

And when they hear idle talk they turn aside from it and say: We shall have our deeds and you shall have your deeds; peace be on you, we do not desire the ignorant.

Surely you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He pleases, and He knows best the followers of the right way.
