The reckoning of the people has drawn near to them, while they are in negligence, turning away (from its signs).

No fresh message of advice comes to them from their Lord, but they listen to it as if they were playing,

their hearts paying no heed. And the wrongdoers whisper in secret, “This one is nothing but a mortal like you. Would you then go along with sorcery while you can see (the reality)?”

He (the prophet) said, “My Lord knows all that is spoken in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”

Further they said, “(The Qur’ān is) a mixture of jumble dreams. Rather, he (the prophet) has fabricated it. Rather, he is a poet. So, let him bring a sign to us, as the earlier ones were sent with.”

Not a single town from those whom We destroyed came to believe before them. So, will they believe?

And We did not send before you messengers except men whom We inspired with revelation. So, ask the people (having the knowledge) of the Message, if you do not know.

We did not make them such bodies as ate no food, nor were they immortal.

Then We caused the promise to come true for them, so We saved them and those whom We willed, and destroyed the transgressors.

Surely, We have sent down to you (O people of Arabia) a book having a good counsel for you. So, do you not understand?

How many a town, that were unjust, have We crushed and raised up after them another people!
