24 Preface إِنّا أَرسَلناكَ بِالحَقِّ بَشيرًا وَنَذيرًا ۚ وَإِن مِن أُمَّةٍ إِلّا خَلا فيها نَذيرٌYusuf AliVerily We have sent thee in truth, as a bearer of glad tidings,1 and as a warner: and there never was a people, without a warner having lived among them (in the past).It is God Who sends the Revelation. While there is warning in it for the heedless, there is good news (in Christian terms, the gospel) for those who listen and repent. The warning always came to all peoples before punishment.
