46:3We did not create the heavens and the earth and what lies between them except with reason, and for a finite period. But the blasphemers continue to ignore the warnings they receive.

46:22They said, “Did you come to us to divert us from our gods? Then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are being truthful.”

46:28Why then did the idols, whom they worshiped as means of nearness to God, not help them? In fact, they abandoned them. It was their lie, a fabrication of their own making.
