Likewise, We make it (i.e. disbelief) enter into the hearts of the sinners,

(whereby) they do not believe in it (the Qur’ān), and this has been the way of earlier people.

Even if We open a gate in the sky and they keep ascending through it,

still they will say, “In fact our eyes have been deluded; rather we are enchanted people.

We have created stellar formations in the sky and have beautified them for onlookers,

and have protected them from every outcast devil,

but the one who tries to eavesdrop is chased by a clearly visible flame.

As for the earth, We have stretched it out and placed on it firm mountains, and We have caused to grow in it everything well-balanced,

and created in it sources of sustenance for you and those (creatures) for whom you are not the sustainers.

We have treasures of every thing, but We send it down only in a determined quantity.
