Aya 74
74
ثُمَّ بَعَثنا مِن بَعدِهِ رُسُلًا إِلىٰ قَومِهِم فَجاءوهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ فَما كانوا لِيُؤمِنوا بِما كَذَّبوا بِهِ مِن قَبلُ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نَطبَعُ عَلىٰ قُلوبِ المُعتَدينَ

Muhammad Asad

AND THEN, after him, We sent forth [other] apostles - each one unto his own people1 - and they brought them all evidence of the truth; but they would not believe in anything to which they had once given the lie:2 thus it is that We seal the hearts of such as [are wont to] transgress the bounds of what is right.3
  • Lit., "We sent apostles to their [own] people"- an allusion to the fact that each of the apostles before Muhammad was sent to one particular people or community, and that the Arabian Prophet was the first and the last to bring a universal message addressed to all mankind.
  • Cf. 7:101 and the corresponding note 82.
  • See Sarah 2, note 7.
