   Indeed those who have faith and do righteous deeds—the All-beneficent will endear them [to His creation].

2. فإنما يسرناه بلسانك لتبشر به المتقين وتنذر به قوما لدا

   Indeed We have made it simple in your language so that you may give good news thereby to the Godwary and warn with it a disputatious lot.

3. وكم أهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هل تحس منهم من أحد أو تسمع لهم ركزا

   How many a generation We have destroyed before them! Can you descry any one of them, or hear from them so much as a murmur?
