We have made plain (Our revelations) in this Quran so that (the
unbelievers) may take warning. Yet it has only added to their unbelief.
Say: 'If, as you affirm, there were other gods besidesAllah, they would
surely find a way to (challenge) Him.'
Glory toHim! Exalted be He, high above what they say.
The seven heavens, the earth, and all who dwell in them praise Him.
All creatures celebrate His praise. Yet you cannot understand their
praises. Benignant is He and Forgiving.
When you recite the Quran, We place between you and those who
deny the life to come a hidden barrier. We cast a veil upon their hearts
and deafness in their ears, lest they understand it. (That is why) when
you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in
flight.
We well know (what they wish to) hear when they listen to you, and
(what they say) when they converse in private; when the wrongdoers
declare: 'You followonly a bewitched person.'
Behold what they compared you to. They have surely gone astray
and cannot find the (right) path.
'What!' they also say. 'When we are turned to bones and dust, shall
we be restored as a new creation?'
Say: 'You shall, whether you turn to stone or iron, or any other
substance which youmay think unlikely to be given life.'
Theywill ask: 'Whowill restore us?'
Say: 'He that created you at first.'
Theywill shake their heads and ask: 'Whenwill this be?'
