ٱلْأَنْبِيَاء : ٧

  • وَمَآ And not
  • أَرۡسَلۡنَا We sent
  • قَبۡلَكَ before you
  • إِلَّا except
  • رِجَالٗا men
  • نُّوحِيٓ We revealed
  • إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ to them
  • فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ So ask
  • أَهۡلَ (the) people
  • ٱلذِّكۡرِ (of) the Reminder
  • إِن if
  • كُنتُمۡ you
  • لَا (do) not
  • تَعۡلَمُونَ know
And We sent not before you, [O Muḥammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.
And We sent none before you other than men to whom We revealed (read noohee or yoohaa, '[to whom] it is revealed') and [We sent] not any angels. Ask the People of the Remembrance, those with knowledge of the Torah and the Bible, if you do not know, this; for they will know it. Since you are more likely to believe them than the believers are to believing Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him.
