English Translation
55When the Quran, the guide to the right path, came to people, the only thing that kept them from believing and becoming believers and from asking their Lord to forgive their sins was their wanting what befell those before them to befall them too, or the punishment of the Hereafter to be brought and laid out before their eyes.
