14:9Has not the story reached you, of those before you, the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood—and those after them? None knows them except God. Their messengers came to them with the clear proofs, but they tried to silence them, and said, “We reject what you are sent with, and we are in serious doubt regarding what you are calling us to.”

14:11Their messengers said to them, “We are only humans like you, but God favors whomever He wills from among His servants. We cannot possibly show you any proof, except by leave of God. In God let the faithful put their trust.”

14:12“And why should we not trust in God, when He has guided us in our ways? We will persevere in the face of your persecution. And upon God the reliant should rely.”

14:17He will guzzle it, but he will not swallow it. Death will come at him from every direction, but he will not die. And beyond this is relentless suffering.

14:19Do you not see that God created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He wills, He can do away with you, and bring a new creation.

14:20And that is not difficult for God.

14:22And Satan will say, when the issue is settled, “God has promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you, and you answered me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your aid, nor can you come to my aid. I reject your associating with me in the past. The wrongdoers will have a torment most painful.”

14:24Do you not see how God presents a parable? A good word is like a good tree—its root is firm, and its branches are in the sky.

14:28Have you not seen those who exchanged the blessing of God with blasphemy, and landed their people into the house of perdition?

14:34And He has given you something of all what you asked. And if you were to count God’s blessings, you would not be able to enumerate them. The human being is unfair and ungrateful.

14:38“Our Lord, You know what we conceal and what we reveal. And nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.”

14:42Do not ever think that God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only defers them until a Day when the sights stare.

14:44And warn mankind of the Day when the punishment will come upon them, and the wicked will say, “Our Lord, defer us for a little while, and we will answer Your call and follow the messengers.” Did you not swear before that there will be no passing away for you?

14:47Do not ever think that God will break His promise to His messengers. God is Strong, Able to Avenge.

14:48On the Day when the earth is changed into another earth, and the heavens, and they will emerge before God, the One, the Irresistible.
