وَإِن

كَذَّبَ
أُمَمٌ

الْبَلَاغُ
الْمُبِينُ

If you impugn [the Apostle’s teaching], then [other] nations have impugned [likewise] before you, and the Apostle’s duty is only to communicate in clear terms.
— Ali Quli Qarai
"And if ye reject (the Message), so did generations before you: and the duty of the messenger is only to preach publicly (and clearly)."
