                    cieties, for they invite people to follow His way, to obey the
                    Qur’an, avoid evil deeds, and embrace goodness and hon-
                    esty. They remind people of life’s transitory nature and that
                    real life is in the eternal world to come. The Qur’an tells us
                    that a messenger is sent to every society:

                        We have sent you with the truth, bringing good news and
                        giving warning. There is no community to which a warn-
                        er has not come. (Surah Fatir, 24)

                        Nor were you on the side of the mount when We called.
                        Yet it is a mercy from your Lord, so that you can warn a
                        people to whom no warner came before, so that, hopeful-
                        ly, they will pay heed. (Surat al-Qasas, 46)
                        Or do they ask: “He has invented it?” No indeed! It is the
                        truth from your Lord to warn a people to whom, before
                        you, no warner had come, so that, hopefully, they will be

                        guided. (Surat as-Sajda, 3)
                        We sent a Messenger among every people saying:

                        “Worship Allah and keep clear of all false deities.”
                        Among them were some whom Allah guided, but others
                        received the misguidance they deserved. Travel through-
                        out the land and see the unbelievers’ final fate. (Surat an-
                        Nahl, 36)
                        O People of the Book. Our Messenger has come to you,
                        making things clear to you, after a period with no

                        Messengers, lest you should say: “No one came to us
                        bringing good news or a warning.” Someone has come to
                        you bringing good news and a warning. Allah has power
