وَمَا مَنَعَ ٱلنَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا

EnglishSaheeh International
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.

மனிதர்களிடம் நேர்வழி வந்த போது அவர்கள் நம்பிக்கை கொள்வதையும், தங்கள் இறைவனிடம் பிழை பொறுக்கத் தேடுவரையும் தடை செய்வதெல்லாம், முன் சென்றவர்களுக்கு நேர்ந்தது இவர்களுக்கும் நேர்தல் அல்லது இவர்களுக்கு எதிரிலேயே (நம்முடைய) வேதனை வருதல் ஆகியவை தவிர வேறில்லை.

තවද මුතුන්මිත්තන්හට අත් වූ ඉරණම තමන් වෙත නො පැමිණීම හා (ඔවුන්) ඉදිරියේදීම දඬුවම ඔවුන් වෙත නො පැමිණීම මිස ජනයා වෙත යහමග පැමිණි විට ඔවුන් විශ්වාස කිරීමට හා ඔවුන්ගේ පරමාධිපතිගෙන් සමාව අයැද සිටීමට වෙනත් කිසිවක් ඔවුන්ව වැළැක්වූයේ නැත.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
لوگوں کے پاس ہدایت آچکنے کے بعد انہیں ایمان ﻻنے اور اپنے رب سے استغفار کرنے سے صرف اسی چیز نے روکا کہ اگلے لوگوں کا سا معاملہ انہیں بھی پیش آئے یا ان کے سامنے کھلم کھلا عذاب آموجود ہوجائے.
JapaneseRyoichi Mita
何ものも,人びとの信仰を妨げるものはない。既にかれら(マッカの不信心者たち)に御導きが下ったから,主に赦しを請えばよい。さもなければ昔の者の(被ったような)ことがかれらを襲うか,または懲罰が,間近くかれらに下る外あるまい。
ChineseMa Jian
当正道来临众人的时候,他们不信道,也不向他们的主求饶,那只是因为他们要等待(真主将)古人的常道显现于他们,或眼见刑罚来临他们。

Tafsir of 18:55

The Rebellion of the Disbelievers Allah tells us about the rebellion of the disbelievers in ancient times and in more recent times, and how they rejected the obvious truth even when they witnessed clear signs and proofs. Nothing stopped them from following the truth except their demand to witness with their own eyes the punishment which they were being warned about. As some of them said to their Prophet: فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفاً مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّدِقِينَ (So cause a piece of the heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful!) 26:187, Others said: ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّدِقِينَ (Bring Allah's torment upon us if you are one of the truthful.) 29:29 The Quraysh said: اللَّهُمَّ إِن كَانَ هَذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِندِكَ فَأَمْطِرْ عَلَيْنَا حِجَارَةً مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ أَوِ ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ (O Allah! If this is indeed the truth from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky or bring upon us a painful torment.) 8:32 وَقَالُواْ يأَيُّهَا الَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ - لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّدِقِينَ (And they say: "O you to whom the Reminder has been sent down!
