32 And those who disbelieve say: Why has not the Qur’ān been revealed to him all at once? Thus, that We may strengthen thy heart thereby and We have arranged it well in arranging. |
33 And they cannot bring thee a question, but We have brought thee the truth and the best explanation. |
34 Those who will be gathered to hell on their faces — they are in an evil plight and straying farther away from the path. |
35 And certainly We gave Moses the Book and We appointed with him his brother Aaron, an aider. |
36 Then We said: Go you both to the people who reject Our messages. So We destroyed them with utter destruction. |
37 And the people of Noah, when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and made them a sign for men. And We have prepared a painful chastisement for the wrongdoers — |
38 And ‘Ād and Thamūd and the dwellers of Rass and many generations in between. |
39 And to each We gave examples and each did We destroy with utter destruction. |
40 And indeed they pass by the town wherein was rained an evil rain. Do they not see it? Nay, they hope not to be raised again. |
41 And when they see thee, they take thee for naught but a jest: Is this he whom Allāh has raised to be a messenger? |
42 He had well-nigh led us astray from our gods had we not adhered to them patiently! And they will know, when they see the chastisement, who is more astray from the path. |
43 Hast thou seen him who takes his low desires for his god? Wilt thou be a guardian over him? |
44 Or thinkest thou that most of them hear or understand? They are but as the cattle; nay, they are farther astray from the path. |
45 Seest thou not how thy Lord extends the shade? And if He pleased, He would have made it stationary. Then We have made the sun an indication of it, |
46 Then We take it to Ourselves, taking little by little. |
