English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 56
And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
We only send the messengers to give Glad Tidings and to give warnings: But the unbelievers dispute with vain argument, in order therewith to weaken the truth, and they treat My Signs as a jest, as also the fact that they are warned!
We raise Messengers only to give good news and to warn. But the unbelievers resort to falsehood in order to rebut the truth with it, and scoff at My revelations and My warnings.
And We send not the Messengers except as giver of glad tidings and warners. But those who disbelieve, dispute with false argument, in order to refute the truth thereby. And they treat My Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and that with which they are warned, as jest and mockery!
We send not the messengers save as bearers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve contend with falsehood in order to refute the Truth thereby. And they take Our revelations and that wherewith they are threatened as a jest.
And in no way do We send the Emissaries except as constant bearers of good tidings and constant warners; and the ones who have disbelieved dispute with untruth that they may rebut thereby the Truth. And they have taken to themselves My signs and what they are warned of in mockery.

ہم تو اپنے رسولوں کو صرف اس لئے بھیجتے ہیں کہ وه خوشخبریاں سنا دیں اور ڈرا دیں۔ کافر لوگ باطل کے سہارے جھگڑتے ہیں اور (چاہتے ہیں کہ) اس سے حق کو لڑکھڑادیں، انہوں نے میری آیتوں کو اور جس چیز سے ڈرایا جائے اسے مذاق بنا ڈاﻻ ہے
Quran 18 Verse 56 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Kahf ayat 56, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(18:56) We raise Messengers only to give good news and to warn.[53] But the unbelievers resort to falsehood in order to rebut the truth with it, and scoff at My revelations and My warnings.
53. This verse has two meanings.
(1) We send Our Messengers to forewarn the people before the coming of the judgment of the good results of obedience and the evil consequences of disobedience. But these foolish people are not taking advantage of these forewarnings and insist on seeing the same evil end from which the Messengers desire to save them.
(2) If they insist on meeting with the scourge, they should not demand this from the Messenger because the Messenger is sent not to bring a scourge but to warn the people beforehand to escape from it.
