are some who die before and that you may reach an appointed term, and that you may understand. |
68 He it is Who gives life and causes death, so when He decrees an affair, He only says to it, Be, and it is. |
69 Seest thou not those who dispute concerning the messages of Allāh? How are they turned away? — |
70 Those who reject the Book and that with which We have sent Our messengers. But they shall soon know. |
71 When the fetters are on their necks and the chains. They are dragged. |
72 Into hot water; then in the Fire they are burned. |
73 Then it is said to them: Where is that which you used to set up |
74 Besides Allāh? They will say: They have failed us; nay, we used not to call upon anything before. Thus does Allāh confound the disbelievers. |
75 That is because you exulted in the land unjustly and because you behaved insolently. |
76 Enter the gates of hell to abide therein; so evil is the abode of the proud. |

78 And certainly We sent messengers before thee — of them are those We have mentioned to thee and of them are those We have not mentioned to thee. Nor was it possible for a messenger to bring a sign except with Allāh’s permission; so when Allāh’s command comes, judgment is given with truth, and those who treat (it) as a lie are lost. |
79 Allāh is He Who made the cattle for you that you may ride on some of them, and some of them you eat. |
80 And there are advantages in them for you, and that you may attain through them a need which is in your breasts, and on them and on ships you are borne. |
