69 Or do they not recognize their Messenger, that they deny him?

70 Or say they: There is madness in him? Nay, he has brought them the Truth, and most of them hate the Truth.

71 And if the Truth follow their desires, the heavens and the earth and all those who are therein would perish. Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder.

72 Or dost thou ask them a recompense? But the recompense of thy Lord is best, and He is the Best of providers.

73 And surely thou callest them to a right way.

74 And surely those who believe not in the Hereafter are deviating from the way.

75 And if We show mercy to them and remove the distress they have, they would persist in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.

76 And already We seized them with chastisement, but they were not submissive to their Lord, nor did they humble themselves.

77 Until, when We open for them a door of severe chastisement, lo! they are in despair at it.

78 And He it is Who made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts. Little it is that you give thanks!

79 And He it is Who multiplied you in the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

80 And He it is Who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Do you not then understand?

81 Nay, they say the like of what the ancients said.

82 They say: When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then be raised up?

83 We are indeed promised this, and (so were) our fathers before. This is naught but stories of those of old!

84 Say: Whose is the earth, and whoever is therein, if you know?

85 They will say: Allāh’s. Say: Will you not then mind?

86 Say: Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the mighty Throne of power?
