Or the One who originated creation, then will reproduce it, and who gives you provision from the sky and the earth? Is there any god along with Allah? Say, “Bring your proof if you are true.”

Say, “No one in the heavens and the earth has the knowledge of the Unseen except Allah.” And they do not know when they will be raised again.

Rather, their knowledge has failed in respect of the Hereafter. Rather, they are in doubt about it. Rather, they are blind to it.

And said those who disbelieved, “Is it that, when we and our fathers become dust,-is it that we shall really be brought forth?

Indeed, it was promised to us and to our fathers even before this. This is nothing but the tales of the ancients.”

Say, “Travel in the land and see how was the fate of the sinners.”

And do not grieve for them, nor should your heart be straitened because of what they plan.

They say, “When shall this promise come to pass if you are true?”

Say, “It is not unlikely that some part of that (punishment) which you are asking to come soon is already following you closely.”
