Those to whom We have given the book, recognise him as they recognise their sons. Those who caused loss to themselves, they do not believe (R 2)

And who is more unjust than he who fabricates a lie against Allah or denies His signs, the unjust will not be successful.

And one day We will gather them all together, then We will say to those who associated partners (with Us), “”Where are those whom you claimed (that they were Our) partners?””

Then they will be tempted to do nothing but to say, “”By Allah our Fosterer, we were not polytheists.””

See how they will lie against themselves, and that which they had fabricated will go away from them.

And among them is he who seeks to hear you but We have put veils on their hearts lest they understand and in their ears is heaviness, and (even) if they see every sign they will not believe in it, to the point that, when they come to you they will dispute with you. Those who do not believe say, “”These are nothing but stories of the ancient.””

And they forbid (others) from it and (they themselves) go far away from it and they do not destroy anyone except themselves but they do not perceive.

And if you could only see them when they would be made to stand before the fire, then they would say, “”We wish, we were sent back, (then) we will not deny the signs of our Fosterer and we will be of the believers.””

No, that which they used to hide earlier will become manifest to them; and (even) if they are sent back they will return to that which they are forbidden and they are liars.

And they say, “”There is nothing except our life of this world and we will not be raised (again to life).””

And if you could only see them when they would be made to stand before their Fosterer, He will say, “”Is this not real?”” They will say, “”Why not, by our Fosterer (it is real).”” He will say, “”Then taste the punishment because you used to reject (the truth).”” (R 3)

They indeed have lost who deny their meeting with Allah, until when the hour of doom comes on them suddenly, (then) they say, “”Alas! our regrets on our neglecting it.”” And they will bear their burdens on their backs. Is not what they bear, an evil?

And the life of this world is nothing but sport and pastime, whereas the home of the hereafter is better for those who guard (against evil). Do you not then understand?

We indeed know that what they say grieves you, they do not deny you, but the unjust knowingly deny the signs of Allah.

And messengers before you were indeed denied but they were patient on being denied and on being annoyed, until Our help came to them. And there is none to change the words of Allah; and the news of the messengers has come to you.

And if their keeping away (from your message) is a great (disappointment) for you, then if you can, seek a tunnel in the earth or a ladder (to ascend) into the sky, then come to them with a sign (miracle, still they will not believe). And had Allah willed, He would have gathered all of them on guidance, so do not be of those who are ignorant. (P 6

Only those will respond, who listen. And the dead, Allah will raise them up, then to Him they will be returned.

And they say, “”Why has not a sign (miracle) been sent down on him from his Fosterer?”” Say, “”Allah certainly has the power to send down a sign but the majority of them does not know.””

And there is not an animal in the earth nor a bird that flies on its two wings but they are communities (species) like that of yours, We have not neglected anything in the book, then they will be gathered towards their Fosterer.

And those who deny Our signs are deaf and dumb in darknesses. Whom Allah wills, He sends him astray, and whom He wills, He puts him on the straight path.
